And as far as 'being relevant' what does that even mean? I have never understood when people say that. Does it mean that if you aren't in fashion there's no point releasing anything?

 

Irrelevant is when your music doesn't mean anything other than "Oh look---he's releasing new material!" *When* was the last time Roy Orbison released anything that mattered beyond "oh..he released something new"?

 

It's pretty much the same place AC/DC is now. Their last album was greeted with a "Oh--a new AC/DC album." The music didn't matter as much as the name. Who cared about the last Queen album? That's irrelevance. When the *person* or group releasing the album is more famous than the music, then they are irrelevant.
