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

I meant what I meant. The average GenX'er born in the 70s missed out

I was born in 1969 I believe that makes me GenX and I at least caught the Dead 40some times in the 80s and 90s. And I don't feel I've missed out on much I can listen to music recorded in the 60s and 70s whenever I want.

Missed out what?  Music that ensures a man 60 year old has the brain 
of a teen-ager forever ?

My hands and BACK wish they were Gen-X, because the rest of me is a big ol BOOMER.. Other than an occasional Tibetan horn synchro band, I’m pretty open to all age and types of music. The cool thing as long as it was recorded some way, WE or anybody that wants to can listen and check it out. There are a lot of good digital recordings.. that’s for sure..

I have some post WWI pre WWII, Okinawan or Japanese 16 rpm LPs.
It’s not your Grandmas/Grandpas Grand Ol Opry (25-45) or Mom/Dads (40-60s) Jazz, (Dino, Cole or Sinatra) early R&R or Salsa.
It’s sure not my 60s until now music.

Them Russians weren’t a very cheery bunch either. They could reduce and evening of listening to a BUNCH of dismal, sniveling, drunk on vodka patrons. I hear their STUFF, I just want to hide in a closet and wait for the END. AND IF I’m waitin’, a good single malt, and BIG fat one, (girl and joint).. :-)

No body missed anything, they just haven’t listened to it yet.. OR refuse.

As far as the better recording medium. The one that WAS used is a great start..

Regards

As a Gen X’er I don’t feel bad. The 90’s were incredible. Activism, social
awareness and amazing music. Most of the garbage that passes as music these days makes me feel bad for Gen Y and people who think Green Day is punk.
