Yeah that's true. But I think back then bands kept on building off of the past bands sounds and kept on pushing the boundaries and took the music in new directions. So general "rock music" (for lack of a better term) kept on evolving and there was always artists building upon the sounds from the bands they idolized.
Black Sabbath really doesn't do much for me now, but can you imagine how that shit must have sounded when you first heard it in 1970 or whenever? It would have knocked you right on your ass.
Each decade from like the 50's to the 90's had it's rock icons and important influential bands who broke thru to enjoy success. What bands have made a cultural impact in the 2000's? Coldplay, fucking Kings of Leon? It's pathetic... truly pathetic.
