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.

@jasonbourne52  I agree.  Classical covers many centuries of music.  Jazz 20th C. is close (love the 50's & 60's straight ahead and fusion type).  Pop music, musicals with singable melodies until the 1990s.  Sure, I like rock but from the 50s to the 80s.  Current rock rarely sounds like music to me.  Everything up to hip hop and rap can enthrall me.  Hearing music performed by great musicians of great music live in a great venue is the ultimate.  That's why classical and some jazz performances are still my preference with current rock having lost it's appeal.
