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.

Going back to the original post. The OP saw the Velvets live? That’s what’s being said. I’d appreciate some clarity on that. First time round seems unlikely. Comeback tour, or, just a name casually thrown in to sound impressive? Etta James? Hmm. Does she belong on that list? One great album at best. The OP also apparently saw the Beatles. 

I found the OP incredibly patronising. I’d guess few Gen X’ers look at people like the OP and feel sorry for them because of all the recent great music they’ve missed but equally it seems likely to me that the OP most likely didn’t see most of those artists either.
