Steely Dan’s so old, they probably exited the loop and are poised to be cool again.

I work around high schoolers. The “old albums” (actually CDs :( ) they discover out in the garage are from bands like Tool and Rage Against the Machine. They’re actually pretty good, Mr. Noob, have you heard of them?

I’ve never been a big Steely Dan fan, or Tool or Rage for that matter

There’s a lot of good music around today but you need to seek it out. You won’t find it on a Spotify playlist or on a list of most streamed. Technology has eliminated all barriers to entry which is a double edged sword. It means that anyone can be heard but it also allows those that should never be heard, the avenue to be heard. There are 60,000 songs uploaded to Spotify EVERY DAY, 22 MILLION a year. So much garbage but a few hidden gems too. It takes work to uncover them but it’s worth it.

The other day my 13 YO daughter asked me if I'd ever heard "Paranoid" by some band called Black Sabbath...

It's actually pretty cool that Spotify is letting kids discover 50-year-old music, and that they like it. When I was a kid that would have meant stuff from the 1930s...
