As a vinyl collector, it really feels impossible to completely avoid problematic older bands. So many of them pulled heinous shit, and often the bigger they were, the more opportunities they had to indulge their worst impulses. But how can we study history without acknowledging our ancestors accomplishments and failures?

I figure if they are dead, they can't hurt anybody anymore, and neither can they benefit. Same goes for buying used.
