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.

I don’t feel I missed out at all, I grew up listening to all of that music and continue to discover music from that era, as well as music from my generation and the new music. I actually look forward to hearing music for the first time old and new.
 I wish we had the technology that we do now when I was a kid to discover new music. I could not handle listening to the same thing over and over again. The music from the 60’s and 70’s is great but to judge music based on your most influential years just may cause you to discriminate. The music of the 60’s was influenced by the music that came before it and the music that came after the 60’s was influenced by the 60’s plus what came before. I go to see a lot of live music these days now that I live in a place that supports it and I am always amazed of the level of talent that is out there.
Music evolves and so should we pick up some new music and give it a try, you might like it.
