@CalamityJane,
I always loathe to denigrate modern artists, because when I was growing up it was typical of older people to denigrate the ones your daughter is impressed with now.
However I think I have a point in that if Woodstock was recorded on wax discs through a horn it wouldn't have the same power it has because it was a high fidelity recording, so that the music can stand on it's own merits.
I don't think your daughter is Robinson Crusoe, through facebook I can see a lot of younger people who list their favourite band as the Eagles or Led Zeppelin, even though both folded before they were born.
In a way the younger you are the larger the musical universe you have at your fingertips than any of us had at the same age - I wouldn't be surprised at some really bizarre individual likes because of what the internet and digitisation makes available to us if we are predisposed to exploring. I've been an avid music consumer for ... way too long... and I'm still discovering great stuff that I didn't hear at all when it was released 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago - it must be freaking Wonderland to someone new to the wonders of music! Also makes me think how important 'taste-arbiters' are, ie finding bloggers etc who seem to have similar likes to you who refer you to stuff you hadn't heard of but have a high chance of really liking.
