RE: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...baloney...

"The problem isn't those who post here on AA.... We're the exception.... The problem is the average guy on the street who knows who Kid Rock is, but not Tchaikovsky or John Coltrane....."

Over the last few years, I have met folks in so many places who listen to the classical and/or jazz you mention on humble equipment and do not post sites such as this.

Too much your post here bears little reflection to reality, it is pure nostalgia. Vinyl LPs were replaced by by CDs as dominant carrier over 20 years ago, it is reasonable to expect that an increasingly higher percentage of folks will not be familiar with it.

"Why was ELP once a revered band, and ridiculed now? Why is Sir Georg Solti ridiculed now? Why is Stan Getz ridiculed now? The Eagles? George Szell? Pat Metheny? Even Toscanini?"

huh....great bands come and go, great conductors come and go... If I take a guess those bands and conductors were hot when you were younger.
