More great music was made between 1965–1972 than 1973–Present. Give me one good reason we weren't born in the wrong generation.

Because if you were born in 1965-1972, you wouldn't know about 95% of that "great music". Because you were born in the modern age, it's all available at your fingertips.

I thought 1966 was the birth of prog rock. Pet Sounds and Revolver came out that year.
Is Pink Floyd prog rock? how influential were they in the genre?
>>72627717
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale is where prog really began. The psychedelic rockers and acid rockers were leaning in that direction, but they made the jump to prog.

wut?

No internet.
When did you realize the beatles predicted prog rock and heavy metal?
>>72628655
1 year earlier.
>>72628635
Yet people still found good music you fucktard
>>72628717
I never claimed they didn't.

Yeah? 95% is not 100%. If you were to compare a prog fan in 1972 to a prog fan in 2017, the prog fan in 2017 knows a metric fuck-ton more artists that were around in 1972 than the one in 1972 does.

>95% is not 100%
And that's OK. It's only 5% Who cares?
>If you were to compare a prog fan in 1972 to a prog fan in 2017, the prog fan in 2017 knows a metric fuck-ton more artists that were around in 1972 than the one in 1972 does.
The 1972 will also appreciate the music more because the 2017 fan doesn't put for real effort to find the music, nor has assigned any value to it.

It's 95%.
>The 1972 will also appreciate the music more because the 2017 fan doesn't put for real effort to find the music, nor has assigned any value to it.
Oh fuck off. Romanticizing lack of information is retarded.
>>72628986
>It's 95%.
I repeat: people still found good music. Do you think King Crimson played to empty theaters?
>Romanticizing lack of information is retarded.
So is romanticizing the wealth of it (when you don't know how to use it)
>>72629025
I repeat: I know people found good music, you drooling moron. I'm saying we have the means to find a lot more of it.
