I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.


I feel sad for GenX'ers and millennials that missed out on two of the greatest decades for music. The 60s and 70s. 

Our generation had Aretha Franklin, Etta James, James Brown, Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Donna Summer, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, The Kinks, The Stones, The Doors, Elton John, Velvet Underground and loads more

We saw these legends live during their peak, concert tickets were cheaper, music was the everything to youth culture, we actually brought album on a vinyl format (none of that crappy CDs or whatever the kids call it).

60s-70s were the greatest time to be a music fan.

go backwards towards the source-Classical and everything in between, there is ENDLESS discovery to be heard.

A friend of mine recently asked me why I didn’t expand my musical horizons by embracing new music. I told him I could discover "new" music without listening to anything recorded after 1995. Just yesterday, on this forum, I was made aware of a Tower of Power album from the 1970s that I had never heard. I agree with the OP. For contemporary music, the 60s and 70s were the golden age.
