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.

Urg….. please, do not weep for me. As a former record store owner and musician I missed nothing. In fact I can do you one better- I can cherry pick only what I like as an outsider. I am so happy that punk rolled in and washed all that hippy BS down the tubes where most of it belonged.
Ill take the MC5 , Stooges, Radio Birdman, NY Dolls, Heartbreakers, Ramones,Dr. Feelgood etc. over any patchouli drenched love and flowers. Rock and roll is blue collar and should stay that way. FTW
