I mean, isn't that just a testament to the consistent quality of the music? Some people like the 80s, some the 90s. We have PopHaters and lovers, ATYCLB bashers and appreciation societies. But it's all good. How much debate did the last 20 years of the Rolling Stones inspire? How many bands have continued to resonate with a new audience on each album, and still give the old ones something to get passionate about, for better or worse? Not very many. The Beatles have a similar split, although most of their fans appreciate both eras (as many U2 fans do). But the Beatles burned out after 8 years. U2 is 25 years into the game, still making music that huge numbers of people love (and hate). But it's vital music that inspires such ferocious and inspired discussion. So even though I cringe every time I see a Pop v. ATYCLB thread, I have to stop and admire the band for it.
