once again, there will always be one hit wonders, hot band of the week, whatever you want to call it. the 80's and 90's had more than their fair share.
longevity is also a tricky way to judge a band. many bands, good or bad won't last 10 years (the police, rage against the machine, nirvana - yea i realize the first 2 are reforming). you can even argue that some of the 10+ years bands, should've hung it up a while ago (metallica).
if anything music is a lot more diverse now due to the fact that its easier to get a hold of music (ipods/downloading/mp3 etc) and you really don't have to stick to listening to the radio. either way, if you're limiting yourself to listening to stuff from the 60s-90s then your missing out on a lot of good music.
