I hear what you are saying, but to put it simply; considering the back catalogue of certain artists that had their 15 years of fame, there's usually a gem or two of music in their output that makes it all worthwhile. When an artist is beaucoup rich from their glory of yester years' output (which, in and of itself, the music becomes timeless), it's nice to see artists taking chances on what sounds good to the artists themselves. Who knows? Some of us may realize what sounds (insert derrogatory explicative of your choice here) today, becomes more influencial and soulfilled than originally thought.
