>>Music and literature work like that. It's possible to go too far with this kind of thinking. Yes the pyramid still in pristine condition is the best built one, with all the shoddy pyramids long collapsed. That does encourage a bias. This does not mean any "golden era" thinking I necessarily fallacious, just that we need to watch out for a particular fallacy. Between about 1967-73 a lot of good rock albums were recorded. A lot of shite too, mostly forgotten about. The filter of time applies equally to the next 7 years, but most people's record collections feature more "golden age albums."
