Born in '52. Loved what I heard in the 60s and 70s. Love what I hear today from Derek Trucks, Keb Mo, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Amos Lee, Bela Fleck and Sierra Hull. Not a fan of rap or hip hop, but we live in an era of great musical diversity and great live studio recordings.
My sons are Gen X at ages 43 and 37 and they heard all of the 60s and 70s greats on our home stereo...and stood on the wings of Festival stages as kids watching David Grisman, Johnny Cash and Emmy Lou Harris.
In the day, they had an SA5500 II Pioneer system and Bose 601s in our 1980s household...and when they visit dead old dad now, the grand kids groove to my throwback pro audio rig made from AE Techron serviced Crown PS 200s (rescued out of local churches) driving a mellow medium room size array of Onkyo towers and a REL T5i sub on one floor...and a similar system on the other floor with a TEAC 400U managing the content into some throwback 1990 Cerwin Vega bookshelves and a high output connected plate amp powered Jensen sub.
Two generations behind us and they haven't missed a thing :)
