Genx and Millennials will have the last laugh when we are dead and be saying the same thing about HipHop and Rap… just like our parents said about Glenn Miller and Frank Sinatra.
I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
Us Baby boomers were grateful to have experienced the best era for rock/soul/pop/jazz/funk from 1964 thru 1974. We were there at the right age. Motown, Stax, Atlantic, Hi Records and then look at the talent we had. The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, James Brown, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, Wes Montgomery, T Rex etc. Such an amazing creative explosion in music, nothing can beat that era.
I feel bad for the younger crowd Generation X and Millennials who missed it and parents playing their records for you it isn't the same experience, seeing these artists live years after their prime also isn't the same.

@kota1 …”As for any "best era" of anything that just means you are stuck in that era. Nothing wrong with that but fresh stuff is good too.”
+1 Growing up through your twenties is a time of maximum hormones and emotional experience / development. Music pairs with the emotional experiences / people and gets deeply ingrained in your psychology. It brings back memories… which are usually beter in retrospect. |
