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

So I came across this interview today and it dates back to 2011. Prince felt the 60s-80s were the golden ages of music when artists played their instruments, wrote their own songs and actually had to perform (those were his reasons).

I posted it and if you watch from 7:40 you’ll see what I mean.

Yes, but I would add the 1950’s to that....today’s music is absolute sh*t. I could not name you one single song currently playing on the pop radio, I'd like to keep it that way...😁

Yes! 50s is definitely in there. Thought it was interesting when he didn't mention the 50s. But 50s-80s were the best era's for 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
