If you are comparing the the two now, there is a significant difference between the two. Par-say the sound is different because of the technological difference between then and now. It would be just like watching a black and white movie. Listening to music now is a lot easier, it may not be as authentic but it is definitely easier .

I feel as if the bald eagle represents unity and defiance. It represents us as country and as a whole.

It's really a two sided question so there is not right or wrong answer just however you see it.
