that's so piglet of you to say
how do you music hunt?
I'm usually looking for something particular but otherwise vague. Like bands that use a pipe organ which leads me to find a ton of bands that didn't "make it" yet all of these bands sound like a clone of the most popular bands during the period.

I wonder if you agree with this:
If a band’s body of work should be qualified as “good”, then it should define/describe the period of time it belongs to, as one of its requirements

No I don't think anything "good" requires an art defining or describing a period of time. More often good things transcend the period of time they were created in. To the extent that they do reflect a period of time it's because other, lesser artists followed their lead, over-saturating the art with a particular style for a period of time.
A great artist may define or describe a period of time incidentally, but you can be good without inspiring copycats, even if copycats are generally a sign of something being good.
tldr The cause of being good isn't that it defined/described a time. That's the effect if anything.

yes it is the effect. It is the effect of saying something true
So when we look around to see the art we have, this is something that sticks out about the timeless ones
