I feel bad for you guys.
my generation has streaming and nearly unlimited data access.

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.

Music is like anything else, there are a certain percentage that are timeless. That era i.e. the 60s and 70s had great music and lots of new technology to play with. I would be excited and creative too. But I also hear music from that era that just doesn't interest me anymore. I listen to new/old, experimental/mainstream. Streaming has let me listen to the old stuff that I never listened to seriously. Grateful Dead concerts, listen to a whole album for example. I can name numerous artists.from all decades(and centuries) that are great. So pitting one era vs another is not worth bothering with. Now, we have people putting out You tube videos, more than ever to sort through. And lots of good stuff. Now that I have a nice sytem, it's like listening to it all for the first time. And retired time to do it. |
schubert7,162 posts08-07-2021 2:51pmMissed out what? Music that ensures a man 60 year old has the brain That's a nice start. They missed out on seeing ELVIS up close for 12 bucks. The music of our youth is the music that changed the world. I can't say the change was for the better, but there'll never be another generation come down the pike that includes an Elvis and The Beatles and Sinatra and Miles Davis, John Coltrane, David Bowie. These young twits have 'Ok Boomer' and 'Netflix & Chill', which I can't say I'm not a little jealous of. |
Oh sweet child, 60s and 70s? Give me a break! I feel sorry for you boomers that missed out on the real music of the 30s and 40s. You post war generation that had everything handed to you on a silver platter will never understand the golden years of swing and big band, the birth of stars like Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. There will never be another period in music that's as influential as those decades were. Anyone with an iota of taste know for a fact that 30s and 40s were indisputably the best time to be a music fan. |
