3022998, Ever wonder how Popular Bands of today compare to past Bands skill-wise?

Specifically thinking about instrumentalist.

Like Thundercat is super dope to me, but how does he compare to 70s funk bass guitarist like Marvin Isley from the Isley Brothers?

The Roots are probably the only live band I've seen in person in a long time, but how do they compare as a band to, say, the Ohio Players, the Bar-Kays and the Gap Band.

I dig how Tyler the Creator and Donald Glover are using live bands, but I wonder if their bands compare to 60s and 70s studio musicians.

I am not a big music head when it comes to instrumentalist, so I really have no idea.
