When it comes to music, we live in a very different world than everyone did in the 1960s and 1970s.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The '60s were a time of great change in American music.
I think It's a bit of a disappointment that a lot of people's Golden Age of music is still the '60s.
The whole world has changed much since the '80's. In the united States, rap music and country music dominate radio and that certainly wasn't the case in the early '80's.
The '60s weren't my cup of tea. I never bought that philosophy that, you know, we're all brothers and that'll solve everything. And I never believed that music dictated the times. I always thought it reflected them.
Music was such an important part of everyone's life in the '60s and '70s, but everywhere you played, the music was dreadful.
When I was a kid growing up in the '60s, music was an outlet for enlightenment, frustration, rebellion. It was more about individualism. Today it's just like a big business.
When I listen to music from different eras, I sense different things. The 1940s music, there's so much optimism and romance, maybe because they just solved the biggest problem on Earth at that time - World War II. In the 1960s, there was so much creativity and innovation in sound.
I think the '70s was a much healthier period for music because people were more innovative and creative.
I thought the '60s was the most exciting time and the most vital music, and we were really together as one mind then. Then afterwards, the songs and the bad drugs, that took its toll.
That's the great thing about music. You can find some '60s pop record and feel completely invigorated by it, even though it's so old.
