Really, truly it doenst mean that much to me but I do personally think its a bit unfair on the artists and their music.

But that's a different point.

You say people weren't around during these artist's "peak years" therefore can't fully appreciate how fresh or innovative it was and now you're talking about them listening to no more than one or two songs.

You don't have to have been born during Elvis's era to go back and listen to his whole catalogue. It's a separate point.

Saying you don't like an artist or their music is not discrediting their career, popularity or impact, it's simply pointing out that through all of that you don't like the music itself.

You can say you don't like Beatles music (I'm sure many didn't at the time too) but that's not taking away the fact that they were pioneers of pop music. You're looking too deeply into a simple question.
