Getting smaller as a trend

Ugh, I fully intended to craft some beautiful post about the Suede reissues today, but am SO very sleepy from staying up til 12:30 or so after our neighborhood crime watch walk thing (the 1996-era me just puked all down his stylish sweater). Anyway, I do have to mention that fave British acts as rule fave gotten smaller in stature, as a rule.

60's: Beatles (der!)

70's: Bowie

80's: Smiths/New Order/PSB (a triumvirate, but you get my point)

90's: Suede

00's: The Clientele

I expect that, around ten years from now, my fave band of this current decade will be some guy from Stratford-on-Avon who plays spoons.
