Glory days of music

so just when were the glory days of music? what era or what generation would you have liked to grow up in just to experience the music?...

i'd like to go back to the 70's and experience what i think was the era for unrivaled rock music. I also think that bands and artists like wolfmother, jet, lenny kravitz, or black summer crush (which is a relatively new band but they are sure starting to make a name for themselves.... www.myspace.com/theblacksummercrush â?¦thatâ??s their websiteâ?¦check it out if youâ??re a fan of rock music) are paving the way for retro rock to make a come back. because we rock fans all know that somewhere in our ipod we have led zep albums stored for when we get sick of some of this new junk out here today. i think that these bands bring a fresh new look on something that sounds familiar without risking their own originality.... any thoughts?

I'd like to be 18 in 1967, when everything for music came together.

But I disagree with your point on retro rock making a comeback. It's a style that should stick around and be expanded upon, but I don't want it to see a comeback, original sounding music should be continued to be churned out. Especially bands like a great example, The Darkness. It just sounds so unoriginal, like they're trying so hard to be Led Zeppelin, but not be. In the end, it sounds stale. A band I really like that has this sort of flattery by intimidation: Mars Volta. Yea, I should say they're original in some forms, but they serve as a gateway to the psychedelic music of the 70s.

Lenny Kravitz......don't get me started with this pseudo-jimmy manchild sellout. This man is exactly what's wrong with music today. Musically he's wrote a few catchy songs you can hum to, but with the talent this guy has, he wastes a lot of it on his image. His music is just so......unoriginal.

I think great music has been produced in all eras, but never has there been a greater concentration than the 60s & 70s, music that has been produced that influenced seperate genres of music. In time they'll be another record like The Velvet Underground & Nico that as Brian Eno once said "while only a few thousand people bought a Velvet Underground record upon their initial release, almost every single one of them was inspired to start a band."

Id love to be 18 in the 1970's. I'm black so if i go to far back well lets just say it wouldn't end to well. I do love the 60's but I'm also in the south so i wouldn't be to happy. ;)
