Was 1971 the high point of popular music?
@roxy54  Absolutely! And thanks for the topic/posts. Very enjoyable conversation.  
Was 1971 the high point of popular music?
@roxy54  My reference to "a brief moment in time" was intended to be a little broader than 1971 -- perhaps a 20 year period (+/-) from the fifties to the early seventies. I am in agreement with you that some of the pioneers of popular music had p... 
Was 1971 the high point of popular music?
@roxy54 For a brief period of time, all the stars lined up and we were gifted some of the best examples of "popular" music in history. 1971 could represent the pinnacle of a concentration of talent and genuius that our great, great grandchildren...
