Still, I'm not sure what the point of all this is in relation to streaming music revenue being up. If you are trying to prove that the 60's had better music than the 00's you might be right. There are a lot of artists I like on that list, but some I think are overrated as well. It is all subjective. Show me one person who thinks The Doors are the greatest band in the world and that Rap is total shit and I can likely find someone who thinks Eminem is the greatest artist ever and that the Doors were just a group of lucky drunks. It doesn't mean either party is wrong.

Compare the whole of the two lists. As you say some are still well know, some are still packing in audiences. It's the quantity of the quality that comes out on top.
Streaming revenues may be up. Online porn overtook offline. Then plunged. It's total income we're talking about and that's clear in both industries.
