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


I feel sad for GenX'ers and millennials that missed out on two of the greatest decades for music. The 60s and 70s. 

Our generation had Aretha Franklin, Etta James, James Brown, Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Donna Summer, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, The Kinks, The Stones, The Doors, Elton John, Velvet Underground and loads more

We saw these legends live during their peak, concert tickets were cheaper, music was the everything to youth culture, we actually brought album on a vinyl format (none of that crappy CDs or whatever the kids call it).

60s-70s were the greatest time to be a music fan.

You almost make it sound like the new generation does not have access to the old music. Other than concerts they still have all the same access we do. In fact we also have access to all the new music too. That is what make music the incredible medium it is. It is for ever and it is always changing. I will never say one was better than another. Even back in the 70’s and 80’s there was crap  I did not like. This is like saying that the 1970 Bears could beat the 2021 bears. It is alway a nice argument but in reality the 2021 team would destroy the 1970 team. Like what you like debate all you want for the fun of it and enjoy the music, any music.
I'm happy for folks who appreciate music.

Each one of us has a unique life experience regardless of when we were born. 
I have friends much, much younger than me and I listen to a lot of their music and they also to mine. I try to keep and open mind and not stay stuck in the same decade or two of recordings. There are many great artists beyond what's played on top 40 radio.
