I'd agree with that. I haven't seen the influence of the Beatles on too many bands musically. From the 60's British I'd say The Who, Cream and the Yardbirds were actually the most influential on musical direction when you consider that early heavy metal is what followed.

Music is an art. They are more than a band and a cultural icons in that sense. They're artists. An artist inspiring art to another artist helps to build and establish Aesthetics.

Take into account that musicians also get influence by other forms of art. So in terms of Music been art...it all holds in the same net. Artist influence is a broad definition in aesthetics.
Yeah because it's impossible for younger generations to outdo the ones that came before. Damn Old people....*Shakes Head*
And as for the Younger ones.....Well at least they try to like music better than A Simple Plan or whatever the hell is popular today. Although it's probally for all the wrong reasons like you stated. Points...
Personally I don't find that younger generations have outdone the ones that came before. But I guess that depends on the area of music. I prefer classic rock to most modern rock. Deep Purple is my favourite rock band and while new bands like Muse and what Jeff Buckley were doing are refreshing and good I still prefer bands like Cream and Deep Purple. In metal I find older thrash better than the newer stuff. However, I Symphony X's newest album is one of my favourite power metal albums of all time and Dream Theater is still making some of the best progressive music out there... It's always just going to be personal preference.
I actually just meant people act like because a band or group etc. is older that they are automatically better than a newer band, group, etc.. I personally think that is a dumb way of thinking.
It's a problem with people who, as Pez said, automatically equate antiquity with quality.
Have you ever seen one of those Time Life music CD commercials? The amount of truly forgettable shit on those just proves that such sweeping statements can't and shouldn't be made.
Do you EVER have anything to say? At all? Really? Do you know anything at all about music that's worth contributing or do you just come here to wave the English flag?
Really. I've rarely seen you establish your own point. You post one word per thread and make threads to post a love heart or something.
