am I back in high school?

2 of my favorite bands during high school were R.E.M. and Counting Crows.  over the years their greatness has waned, but now they're releasing albums receiving high acclaim.  am I caught in some kind of time warp?  15 years ago these guys were big and now they're getting big again.  

I guess the only difference is that now I don't have the expendable income to actually buy their albums.  guess I'll have to enjoy what I can on the radio and XM.
