Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music?

"I doubt it. I mean... The 90s and 00s were terrible decades for music to be honest and it hasn't held up very well."

I'm not so sure. I work with an office full of them. Beyond name recognition of the Beatles, maybe the Stones they could care less.

I WISH you were right. Someone  they consider "classic" are rappers from the 90' or Mariah Carey.

@tablejockey loool your comment regarding people considering rappers and Mariah Carey classics made me laugh. It reminded of Joni Mitchell's Taming The Tiger

I have nephews/nieces in that age group.

Bless their hearts, but I'm afraid it's a lost cause for the masses. There is a small percentage of younger who "get it" but, they are outnumbered.

I have discussions about this very topic with my neighborhood record shop owner. We can't figure out "what went wrong?"

It seems that everyone is in agreement on this one; "They were the soundtrack to our lives". That is a very profound statement. Music of that era, that's not in my preferred genre, goes through my mind, and affects me when I hear it; I can relate to what I was doing when I heard it, and what I associate with that music.

I'll say it again: nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
