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.

"Gen Y and people who think Green Day is punk."

gochurchgo-

Green Day/Blink 182 era of "rock" is an embarrassment  for the genre. 
Apologies to the fans I've offended. Putting Green Day in the Punk category is a double insult.

IMO Punk was done by the late 70's. Big 80's Brit Alt  fan-Smiths, Stone Roses, Joy Division etc. 80's and  early 90's were the last gold rush years of highly creative/unique music. Things seemed to get recycled and mutilated by the late 90's early 2000.

Crawling back in my hole to play my Zeppelin and Stones LP's.

If anyone gets board with music, go backwards towards the source-Classical and everything in between, there is ENDLESS discovery to be heard.
