eno: When I was a teen I used to think my generation's music was the best and everything else sucked. Eno: But now that I'm older and more mature... Eno: I'm certain that my generation's music is the best and everything else sucks.
The difference is, the 1960’s was the last time “what’s good” significantly overlapped “what’s popular.” There’s good music in every era, but most of the time you have to seek it out; you’ll rarely hear it on America’s Top 40.
PS: The music of MY generation would be primarily the early 1980’s, so if I’m biased at least it’s a different bias…
The music of my generation was fractured & lame. There was country out of Bakersfield, Ca., (shudder) or disco from the pits of hell. I listened to old blues.
I can’t stand my own generation’s music. I love songs like “Carry on my Wayward Son” and “Don’t Stop Believing” way more than anything else I’ve heard nowadays.
What I wouldn’t give to feel that teenage passion again, but then I remember the mood swings, the growing pains, the terrifying proposition of soon having to find my place in a world of inequities, and the juxtaposition of childhood and maturity. Good times…nonetheless.
I was mainly interested in screaming guitars and loud, heavy rock. I still like my generations music best (60’s and 70’s), but now I like the Beatles, blues, and lots of groups and little songs that I completely overlooked, or ignored, back then. But there are always exeptions to the rule, like Stevie Ray Vaughan.

This is one of the few things I tend to agree with Eno on.

A 24 carat solid gold nugget of truth.
I was mainly interested in screaming guitars and loud, heavy rock.
