And I feel bad for my fellow Baby Boomers who, believing there is not music as great as that of their youth, have missed out on the music of Phish, String Cheese Incident, Green Day, Foo Fighters, 10,000 Maniacs, .moe, Keller Williams, Cranberries, G'ovt Mule, Susan Tedeschi and some amazing newer groups like Goose and Turkuaz. Art keeps moving forward and some of the music being created today is so much more nuanced as musicians learn from those before them, just like painters learn and photographers and engineers. Cars today are SO much better than the really cool cars of the 60's and 70's (tho tough to find many U.S. cool cars from the 70's). There's amazing music being created. Get a subscription to Tidal and discover what's going on. A friend of mine says that, "No good music has been written since 1989." He's a nice guy, he's also an idiot. We can argue that the music of the 60's and 70's was incredibly influential, incredibly important, but the best that's ever been made?? Nah, brah, not even close.
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.
