One sentence from that article really struck me because it reminds me of something I was thinking the last time I listened to Trapeze- Medusa.
"The dead writers are remote from us because we know so much more than they did."
Even though I think it's an album that belongs on this list, I was thinking, "What a monster album this would be if it used today's technology." As it is, the guitars are extremely thin and lifeless. The vocals have no depth. The drums are dead. Today, with my free recording and drum software, $169 guitar modeling software, and a $100 direct interface, I can make a far better recording in my living room.
I would argue there is a stronger bias to how you relate to the music of your present when it takes on the role of the "soundtrack to your life" instead of just being music.
Which is exactly why The Beach Boys - Endless Summer makes my list. It's a great album, but possibly I like every song on it because it's what my group of friends and I played on our trips to the ocean every summer. Good times. But now nostalgia.
I can honestly say there isn't anything I can think of that I liked past the age of 12 that I don't like today. But then again, I was always into album (FM) rock (Zeppelin, Sabbath, Rush, etc.), not pop. I think a lot of pop from every generation is embarrassing.
