Addendum

There's an article I forgot to post. Go ahead and read it, see what you think. My personal opinion is that popular music (or at least popular rock music) has reached a similar point in its growth that classical reached around the early to mid 20th century. Although I don't entirely agree with the bands listed at the bottom I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion. Overall though it's a good article that brings up some very interesting points. And it's not by Dom Gourly.
