there really are very few albums that are ahead of their time enough to not sound dated 20 years later, and even those will eventually, just gve them another decade or so...
I would describe Loveless as DEFINING a type of rock music, and anything that defines a genre will be diluted by the myriad progenitors of such a sound.

I agree. And like I said, being dated doesn't necessarily make an album 'bad'. Sgt Pepper's has to be one of the most dated albums imaginable and yet I can (and do) still listen to it regularly. In the case of TMR, I sort of liken it to John Fahey's 'Transfiguration ...' album. Unless someone told me in advance, I'd have very little idea when it was recorded. Again, that doesn't necessarily make it 'good' but, it just so happens that it is ...
extremely so, in my opinion.
