Uh no, I won't "lash out." Everybody has a right to his or her opinion. Its just that opinions about the importance of rock made BY rockers can be, essentially dismissed.

Some Bealtles songs will likely survive to be added to what musicologists are calling "The American Songbook", its true. I mean, we still do know SOME popular music from the 19th and early 20th century as a culture even though the vast bulk of it is mercifully lost to history. But ask the average teen-40 year-old today who Steven Foster was, or even Russ Colombo, or Paul Whiteman and they will look at you blankly. Hell, most of them don't even know who Bing Crosby or Nat King Cole or Miles Davis was. Mention Beethoven or Mozart, and even if they aren't sure exactly what these guys actually composed, they will be able to say that they were composers. Play "Eine Kliene Nachtmusik" or "da-dah-dah-duuuummm" from Beethoven's 5th Symphony for them and they will likely say that they've heard it before. They might not appreciate it or even care to know what it is, they are familiar with it. Real music has stood the test of time because it is art, REAL art. It uplifts the human spirit and leaves the listener the better for the experience. It translates into all times, across all generations, it is truly immortal. People of all generations with the sensibility to seek out a higher enlightenment in their search for entertainment will always come to the good stuff. The rest are satisfied with "Now, I gots to go....go an' f*** this 'ho....it's all part of the show... f***ing these white 'ho's...." Now THAT's art!
