OK, whatever. I believe you’ve missed my point, which is unchanged if you take
And insert the words “of commercially successful bands” after “pack.”
My point being that when you’re listening to a song 50 years later, you enjoy it to the extent that you enjoy it, regardless of all that (increasingly ancient, just like us) history. Who did what first doesn’t factor into that much if at all anymore. It’s good or it’s not. It’s survived the test of time, or it hasn’t. It’s worth listening to for the 756th time, or not.
