Let me preface this, I grew up with the masters, Sabbath, Zep, DP, Queen, etc.
There have been glimpses of brilliance since then. GnR, Nirvana, SG. There's even been good tunes pumped out, Tool, SOAD. Loads of independant music
as well.
BUT, Jesus of Suburbia is a tune that could have been released in ANY given decade and sold, 60's- today.
