Is that a bad thing? I don't personally believe 'power hungry world dominating drive' makes for greatness in the musical world. It kinda does today, but that's part of why music from the 60-70s is so much better than the most popular music today.

Led Zeppelin > Drake
Diana Ross > Beyonce
Willy Nelson > Blake Shelton
