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.

Kinda like how people my parents' age felt bad for me because I liked the Beatles and not Perry Como. 

Do all the variations of 'rock' count as one genre? I've got a 5-figure system and listen to rock and reggae, which is pretty close, too, and that's about it. More than enough to explore just with those....
