You're right, I should have used country as an example. But the kind of metal I'm talking about, good 70's and maybe even a little 80's hair metal is in short supply these days.
I do listen to a ton of new music, there is enough time in the day for both. And if I want a cool new 70's style heavy metal song that is about a niche subject like the Chronicles of Prydain, AI does an amazing job.
