I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.

As long as there are those who do not recognize the difference between objective and subjective, this thread will go on and on and on. . . with people continuing to talk past one-another.  

go backwards towards the source-Classical and everything in between, there is ENDLESS discovery to be heard.

A friend of mine recently asked me why I didn’t expand my musical horizons by embracing new music. I told him I could discover "new" music without listening to anything recorded after 1995. Just yesterday, on this forum, I was made aware of a Tower of Power album from the 1970s that I had never heard. I agree with the OP. For contemporary music, the 60s and 70s were the golden age.

As long as we have ears, the human race will listen to music; right now my left ear is playing back Gimme Shelter by the RS and the right ear is playing back Schubert's  String Quintet .....not sure which will win out.......oh wait the Rolling Stones are being shoved out by Band-Maid's Obsession......fickle brain......

Brings to mind that wonderful line from Keenan Thompon on SNL, mocking grumbling Boomers and their whiny Millenial children: "I’m Gen X.  I just sit on the sidelines and watch the world burn.”

Same with metal, most pass n say not music.

for those like me, it was amazing, from79-93-ish, it was simply amazing, 

Metal these days is just this screamo eejits , you know who u are

most or all of these 3 word bands are just an embarrassment to the metal I grew up on.

 Bring me the day? Really?  They use 2 singers, some do, one singer is descent, then at parts they use other guy to just scream, and it’s awful.

 Sure, metal is a acquired taste, 

pit sure has changed since 1982-3

bullet for my valentine

5 finger death punch? Tripe

plus most incorporate rap style lyrics, and the same tone changes, so monotonous and bleh!

if this is your thing, enjoy, 

I was told limp biscuit was metal, and Deicide was just hitsay, I didn’t know what to say to the lil bopper  except popping in satan spawn;the cacao demon to prove my point.

lil sally boy about cried……too much I think for the lil easily offended mite  

I rested my case.

 I listen to satellite metal channel, a lot is just garbage.

if you hrew up in the 80’s and listened to metal, and compare to the so called metal these days, there is no comparison , maybe it’s me?

 I’m old, but still play darkness descends, Melissa, welcome to hell, bonded by blood as loud as I can!

 I don’t know…………
