So what? I can say the same to the new music lovers that they miss out really much old great music. I donīt believe those who are excited of this day music have heard all the great albums of sixties and seventies.

I am still open to all great music no matter when itīs made. Itīs just these days itīs very hard to find great new music. I believe in 2000 there has made even more music as before. Youtube, soundcloud etc. is full of it. Same time mainstream companies have concentrated to music that sells. To me it was recommended tons of new music that is said to be great. I have found maybe 1% it great. So why do I waste my time to try to search great new music, when same time I still have many old records supposed to be great that I havenīt listened yet? Of course all the new old music I have listened is not great, but I rather listen good music with old great sounds than new music with new, mostly horrible sounds. Also, I havenīt ever been disposable music comsumer. I want every now and then listen my old favourites too.

I think there is just not enough time all the great music of the world, at least if one has as large music taste as I have.

Labels & genres are a necessary evil. They make discussing music more convenient, and that's why we have them. I'll avoid just about any unfamiliar band labeled symphonic, and that saves me time when I'm listening. I do like modern just as much as classic. For instance, I feel the same way about Emerson Lake and Palmer as I do Opeth. I don't understand the tremendous popularity of either band in prog circles. My perspective is that of a listener, not a musician, though I'm blessed enough to "sing" in my church's choir .
I am the funkiest man on the planet!
