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.

There is a very emotional connection with music from the early teens into the twenties. With all those hormones coursing through your body, first connections with the opposite sex, events, freedom, and music get conflated in a wonderfully profound way. My niece is profoundly connected to music of 2000 -2010. Tchaikovsky, the renegade of passionate music of his time. I love listening to the jazz of the fifties and sixties now, although I wasn’t yet old enough to appreciate it at its time. Actually, over my life more and more genera appealed to me. I lived in Scotland for a year and fell in love with contemporary traditional based music there. I lived in Japan and was swept into the wonderful world of music there. The world of music is endless and wonderful.
