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

I don’t feel I missed out at all, I grew up listening to all of that music and continue to discover music from that era, as well as music from my generation and the new music. I actually look forward to hearing music for the first time old and new.
 I wish we had the technology that we do now when I was a kid to discover new music. I could not handle listening to the same thing over and over again. The music from the 60’s and 70’s is great but to judge music based on your most influential years just may cause you to discriminate. The music of the 60’s was influenced by the music that came before it and the music that came after the 60’s was influenced by the 60’s plus what came before. I go to see a lot of live music these days now that I live in a place that supports it and I am always amazed of the level of talent that is out there.
Music evolves and so should we pick up some new music and give it a try, you might like it.

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

Maybe it's more wise to not dwell on things we cannot change, especially if creating a negative emotion like anger, sadness, etc.  Perhaps it's better to relish in your good fortune to know of and be able to enjoy your favorite music genres - live in gratitude.  The audio gear is much better nowadays.  Compassion is an honorable trait that should be used wisely but not unconditionally - guard your mind and heart

@winnardt,

Go listen to Stevie Wonder Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingess’ First Finale, Songs in the Key of Life in order.

With the help of Marvin Gaye, those Stevie Wonder albums, changed the game.

And that doesn’t even mention the five greatest rock bands of all time in order (my opinion):
1. The Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin
3. The Who
4. Rolling Stones
5. Queen

How soon they forget. I will take, The Jimi Hendrix Experience any day, over the so called greatest rock (and roll) band or album of all time.

• Are You Experienced (1967)
  
• Axis: Bold as Love (1967)
• Electric Ladyland (1968)

Now I do love me some Beatles, and the Stones for that matter.

Took up drums in music class cause of Led Zep's drummer Bonham and James Brown's drummer's. 

The Who, whom has one of the baddest's bass players on the planet, ever.

Queen, I got an Earth Wind and Fire  

• Head to the Sky (1973) , Herbie Hancock,  Head Hunters (1973) 
• and a Queen, News of the World (1977) and some other albums in pristine condition at The Salvation Army one day.

tyray

Hendrix was absolutely amazing, but 3 studio albums is not enough quantity to put him above any of the others on my list. And of much, much less importance (maybe even zero significance to some, to me it matters), Hendrix never had a song go higher than 20 on Billboard. People weren't rushing out to buy his albums on the day they were released like they did with The Beatles and the Stones.
