You've just summed up what I've said throughout this thread: It's very difficult for a band, regardless of quality, to have an impact the way bands from earlier decades have had due to the splintered way that music is promoted and distributed.
And that is mainly due to music piracy and the tremendous amount of lost revenues.
Add in the fact that from the 60's through the 90's, most of the "cream of the crop" worked in $3,000 dollar a day recording studios with the industry's finest engineers and producers. Today, it's more likely to be a bedroom studio with little to no experience and subpar gear.

This is just opinion but I don't believe the music from this past decade can in anyway, shape or form be equal to the music of the 70's (minus rap of course, because rap didn't exist).
