Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music?


So I came across this interview today and it dates back to 2011. Prince felt the 60s-80s were the golden ages of music when artists played their instruments, wrote their own songs and actually had to perform (those were his reasons).

I posted it and if you watch from 7:40 you’ll see what I mean.

Millennials and GenZ in 20 years will consider the late 90's and early 2000 as the "golden years" of music. 






"I doubt it. I mean... The 90s and 00s were terrible decades for music to be honest and it hasn't held up very well."

michaelsherry59-
I'm not so sure. I work with an office full of them. Beyond name recognition of the Beatles, maybe the Stones they could care less.

I WISH you were right. Someone  they consider "classic" are rappers from the 90' or Mariah Carey.
I have nephews/nieces in that age group.

Bless their hearts, but I'm afraid it's a lost cause for the masses. There is a small percentage of younger who "get it" but, they are outnumbered.

I have discussions about this very topic with my neighborhood record shop owner. We can't figure out "what went wrong?"
Anytime a "the best period/genre music" thread pops up, you can count on seeing "post removed" and polarizing comments.

No one wins this race.

Presently listening to swingin 40/50's on the Mac FM tuner. Anyone remember radio? Backwards towards the source never disappoints.

michaelsherry59- your flame suit must be of the highest quality to withstand the incoming.
You can't see who's post is deleted. 

Wish I would have caught it before it was.
