I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
Us Baby boomers were grateful to have experienced the best era for rock/soul/pop/jazz/funk from 1964 thru 1974. We were there at the right age. Motown, Stax, Atlantic, Hi Records and then look at the talent we had. The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, James Brown, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, Wes Montgomery, T Rex etc. Such an amazing creative explosion in music, nothing can beat that era.
I feel bad for the younger crowd Generation X and Millennials who missed it and parents playing their records for you it isn't the same experience, seeing these artists live years after their prime also isn't the same.
I feel bad for people who look down their noses at other generations. And I think it's pretty awesome that technology allows GenX, Xennial, Millenial, GenY, etc., to access just about every kind of music ever made at the push of a button... something generations of the past never had. Short sighted post, dude. Get off your horse. |
Hey never feel bad for the next gen......my kids and my grandkids found their music. I even like some of it ;-) I found some myself. If you go through the chaff to glean the grain, try J-Rock or J-Metal. My favorite is Band-Maid. They just did in '22 their American tour. They came back from playing in NYC and LA for the opening band The Last Rock Stars this month. They are coming back for a US Tour in May. I have my VIP ticket for the Rockville concert in Daytona Beach. They are not an Idol Japanese Band, but a true rock band. They all play their instruments, about as good as it gets. They write their own songs, all of them since 2016. I have not gone as far as some of the nuts but I did buy 7CDs and 3 Blue-Rays. The mixing and sound is superb particularly with Sennheiser 820s. Live they sound even better...... Ohhhhh.......I forgot they are an all female band....... |
@dabel You noticed that? I think the silence is very telling. 😁 |
