I don't see that as a nostalgia thing ; I just see
that as catching 
up on great stuff one missed out on the first time.

something like any music that's new to you is new
music no matter
when it came out. Let's face it, the great unwashed
masses were not listening to the Creation, the Velvets
or the 13th Floor Elevators in 1967 (although popular
rock stuff was better in 66/67 than at any other
time).  For that matter, how many Americans were
listening to the Who in 1966? How many people actually
were into the Ramones in 1976 outside NYC? Etc. etc.
etc. 

For every great popular band there are a thousand
great unknowns. It's difficult to keep up with them
all at the time.
