Absolutely. I could have listed bands like System of a Down etc. that seem to not have that much impact in music history as 70's or 80's bands do have. Maybe there is some kind of maturing those bands have to go through but it just feels like those bands are not that 'impactful'.

I treat the voice like another instrument because of vocal lessons, listening to opera on the radio at bedtime, and a whole lot of classical music growing up.

So like while instrumental music is my go to, I don't mind lyrical music. I like lyrical music that does interesting things with the vocal performance more than just a standard setup song, if that makes sense.

Remember that music goes through changes, some last years, some last a short time. What was relevant in the 70's like rock bands such as Zeppelin, Sabbath, Stones and Kiss changed to the 80's where rock bands like Priest, Maiden, Halen and Leppard, and on and on. Music is always going through changes and there are people now that have never heard of the 8 bands I listed and they were the greatest bands on earth during the 70's and 80's.
