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?

"What you mean is you wish they would remove everything you disagree with."

No, what he means is that this is a forum for audio related comments/ questions - NOT politics.

@unreceiveddogma  Yes, I believe he's thinking, incorrectly, of Samuel Butler's "Erewhon".

No I do not agree. There's been loads of great rock and pop music produced in every decade. You might not LIKE all of it, but that's a different story; one person's 'great' is another person's 'crap'. It's all good as long as you enjoy it.

There's some really good blues out there right now.  Recent artists I'm spinning include Joe Bonamassa (one of the best live performances I've seen,  Fox Theatre, Atlanta, 2020), Beth Hart, Samantha Fish, Albert Cummings, Walter Trout, even Poppa Chuby... yes, the blues are alive and well in 2021.
