Yes. Sunday mornings on my local AM oldies station is a Beatles program, featuring songs, old interviews and factoids. Probably lots of stations around the country carry it or similar.

Do the thought experiment. Will there ever be a Sunday Vanilla Ice program forty years after Vanilla Ice was current? I really doubt it.

That's just a measure of popularity, not quality (however that could be defined).

Popular music is entertainment. People wouldn't listen to it if they weren't entertained. They're probably entertained.

Thought experiments resulting in "I don't think something will happen in the future" aren't evidence.

How does that mean the quality is better?
