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.

IMHO this is a rather strange thread. Good music is good music regardless of genre. There is plenty of good music created today. The main problem is there is way more garbage. You use to have to be good to get a record contract. Now anybody with a computer and an ego can pump out files of rubbish. But then you have Arctic Monkeys, Fiona Apple, Haley Williams, Jack White and many more. 
My kids grew up listening to a vast collection of music. I turned them on to all the older music, they turn me on to new music I did not trip over myself. My kids also listen to Beethoven and Brahms. But the vast masses just listen to the popular music of the day as it has always been.
