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.

My hands and BACK wish they were Gen-X, because the rest of me is a big ol BOOMER.. Other than an occasional Tibetan horn synchro band, I’m pretty open to all age and types of music. The cool thing as long as it was recorded some way, WE or anybody that wants to can listen and check it out. There are a lot of good digital recordings.. that’s for sure..

I have some post WWI pre WWII, Okinawan or Japanese 16 rpm LPs.
It’s not your Grandmas/Grandpas Grand Ol Opry (25-45) or Mom/Dads (40-60s) Jazz, (Dino, Cole or Sinatra) early R&R or Salsa.
It’s sure not my 60s until now music.

Them Russians weren’t a very cheery bunch either. They could reduce and evening of listening to a BUNCH of dismal, sniveling, drunk on vodka patrons. I hear their STUFF, I just want to hide in a closet and wait for the END. AND IF I’m waitin’, a good single malt, and BIG fat one, (girl and joint).. :-)

No body missed anything, they just haven’t listened to it yet.. OR refuse.

As far as the better recording medium. The one that WAS used is a great start..
