    Goodbye Terry, I hope in your final hours, you knew deep down just how much people loved and held dear what you created. You may not be with us any longer, but your music will go on for generations to come. In ten, twenty or a hundred years time (if humanity makes it that far), young people will discover your music for the first time again, so in some ways you'll never die. You played a big part in forming some important values that I still believe in today and I bet there's lots of people who can say the same.

      ​@@Spacebird321 Unfortunately those bands likely contribute less and less to popular culture. Those that do appear less interesting, more predictable, in fact bands no longer dominate charts, it's all solo artists because on the whole are easier for record companies to handle and likely work out cheaper. And of course on the flip side anyone older, eg in their fifties will have nostalgia bias, having had their formative years shaped by bands of the time, recalling the times of their lives in the music, so it will always resonate and 'be better'. Quite rare for a young twenty something musician to have something to say to someone in their fifties, as such modern music no longer serves them, particularly in being a conduit for going out attracting the opposite sex for example.
