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'm happy for folks who appreciate music.

Each one of us has a unique life experience regardless of when we were born. 
The initial threads wording is somewhat antagonistic, many responses are crotchety.

Music appreciation has nothing to do with when someone was born or even what system they use.  It has to do with passion.

I appreciate the constructive aspects of this forum and certainly some of the banter.  Though I'm not sure how much is the banter is really friendly after this thread and some others.
