Another Music Direct Catalog observation

I'm a Gen-X-er, and I hear you on the cultural dominance of the Boomers. For a long, long time, I had to stay away from the catalog of Rolling Stone's 100 best albums from 1987 that formed the backbone of my early collection. Lately I've been returning to it, especially to Joni Mitchell, CSN, and others. She is a towering genius. I picked up my first Byrds records recently, for cryin out loud! Similarly, I've been giving towering geniuses of 90s music a rest: Yo La Tengo, Smog, Low, Do Make Say Think. I'll return to that too soon enough. But we live in a different distraction-saturated world now, or maybe I'm just older. Music is my refuge from endless distraction. While music doesn't necessarily demand concentration, it puts me in a state of a kind of peripheral reception. I think there'll always be a market or communities for the appreciation of music in this way. And you can find that music in every decade. But it would do to keep exploring the frontiers. Good new music is out there. And I've just been going into different genres, back in time to classical and  early music, jazz, etc. My stereo would be really mad at me if I stuck with "my generation's" music.
