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.

Don’t worry about us, gramps!!!We appreciate your music greatly, but also love our generation’s contributions. I do wish I had been able to see led zepp, CSNY, Dead, Woodstock etc...But we created burning man, many other music festivals.

I do think that ease of recording music has made it simple for many to flood the airwaves with mediocrity, making it difficult to spot the modern gems...but we have publications and friends to help with that.
I hope every music lover and audiophile pays attention to all generations of music. My daughter listens to Taylor Swift and I have to say - She is a damn good lyricist and i'm not sure if she composes her stuff but it's done very well!
