We’re not comparing like with like. It’s like saying the Rolling Stones are a better band than Arctic Monkeys. Maybe they were 20 years ago but they’ve done nothing artistically valid for years. Great musical history but I wouldn’t buy an album by them now. Sure the Arctic Monkeys have only two albums but right now they’re a "big" band. Maybe they will be in 20 years time?
Time didn’t freeze back in the 70s or 80s. Greatness doesn’t stay forever. Sic Transit Mundi (all glory is fleeting) as the Romans would say.
