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.

I am a Gen X’er born in ‘72.  
I wish I could have lived in London from about ‘65-‘72. Floyd, Stones, Beatles, Who, Zeppelin. Sounds good to me.

Gen X'er here.....I believe (of course I wasn't there) that a lot of the music from the last 60s thru early 70s were partially (mostly??) inspired by the social changes going on at the time. A large change in society translated into great music.

That said, I am a little disappointed with the music of today with what is going on in the world and society. I would think that it would inspire better music like what happened in the late 60s and early 70s.

Hope that makes sense.
