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.

What do you all think?

Wrong. I notice not once in your post did you mention of actually going to any of Sly’s or Prince’s for that matter concerts? And yet you ’seem’ to know all about these guys.
Of course Prince praised Sly and The Family Stone. Is that supposed to be some golden cornel of knowledge you’re trying to impart to us here on Agon?
Prince for many years would have the entire horn and rhythm section of Sly and The Family Stone tour with his band. But you knew that already didn’t you, right?
Oh, and the stand out of Sly’s band was and still is, Larry Graham. The founding member of Graham Central Station, and one of the founding members of Sly and The Family Stone. Is that funky enough for you?
The bass licks from Larry Graham on the Stone albums to this day, have never been duplicated. Only Graham could/can make a Sly song sound like a Sly song. It’s just facts. Can I get a witness?


Well I did see Sly and The Family Stone live in the early 70s... Sadly never showed up and I never saw Prince during his peak in the 80s but going by your logic I have to see them to know about them? What a obtuse logic that is

Yet... Sly produced the records, wrote all the music, actually it was Freddie Stone and Sly Stone who were the founding members of the band, Sly Stone was actually the one who picked Larry Graham so where did you get that nonsense from? You're only hyping Larry Graham because of his work with Prince lol you're too obvious.

You weren’t even alive when Sly and The Family Stone were having top 10 hits between 1967-1971 during their peak so what would you honestly know? You shouldn’t be calling people a "troll" if you can’t refute anything that I have said since you were asking me and the other poster what made Prince "overrated" and gave some factaul reasons and then you ended up crying... You GenX’ers are soft.


I was born a long time before 1967.

Well I did see Sly and The Family Stone live in the early 70s... Sadly never showed up
What!?

You keep repeating the same nonsense.

You’re only hyping Larry Graham because of his work with Prince lol you’re too obvious.

Wrong again. I was a Sly and The Family Stone freak the day the Stand! album came out. With the hit ’Sing a Simple Song’ and others came out. Years, long before I ever became hip to Prince.

Sly Stone was actually the one who picked Larry Graham

Really Sherlock! Really?
@tyray you were born long before 67? Doubt it, your comments have said the exact opposite.

You’re really saying "really Sherlock" in reference to Sly being the one who picked Larry Graham... But you were wrong when you said Larry was "one of the founding members" for Sly and The Family Stone lol! You’ve already proven that you don’t know much about the band.

I’m done with 60s babies.
