I'm with Orgillian. There's nothing like hearing Are You Experienced come out of nowhere and turn the music world upside down. If you hear later stuff first then you miss out and fail to realize the impact that had at the time. If you hear Amy Winehouse (who I do like) before you hear 60's soul then it's not the same. Where are the groundbreaking bands, the innovators, today? Not that there aren't really good musicians around now, but it mostly sounds recycled, or worse--inbred and watered-down.
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.
