I wasn't old enough to appreciate Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I wasn't there to experience the excitement. But to deny the importance of their contribution would be idiotic.

odds are, kids will deny the historical importance of sonic youth because they'll be too busy thinking that the pistols were "real punk rock" or maybe they just won't "get it" at such a young age because sonic youth is one of those bands that tends to command an active approach to listening and some kids tend not to listen to music in that manner.
and elvis sucked. he was a racist who stole songs from black artists and writers, then changed them around and made too much money from it. he's not important to me and didn't contribute anything to rock and roll music.
