the first caveman who decided to bang rocks together and make a rhythm

Yeah, this geezer

The Beatles are far as rock/pop goes. No Sabbath without Helter Skelter and She's So Heavy.

I think Paul McCartney's shows have a pretty wide age range of people as well, it's not like, say, Styx where there's nothing but 50 year olds with graying mullets.

>>74386206
Yes, Paul has said he's surprised at the multi-generational crowds that come to his shows.

>>74385362
Punk/alternative bands from the 70s-80s have a more wide age range of fans because many of them have cult cred. Buttrock bands like REO Speedwagon however, the people into them are just >>74386206.

Bruce Springsteen has fans with a lunatic level of devotion...but they're all over 40, I've never seen a Millenial who gave a fuck about him.

>>74386462
Mac DeMarco. He literally ripped off a Springsteen album cover.

If Jimi Hendrix were still around, you'd probably see multiple generations of people at his shows.

>>74386552
yep.

Lyl I saw Styx at a casino once (I got free tickets). It was all drunken dudes in their 40s-50s like you said and they were singing along to the chorus of the songs. The band were playing a greatest hits setlist and seemed to be having a blast.

>>74386552
True, but he'd probably suck shit.

>>74385413
He's right you know

I'm not saying I'd be enthusiastic about a guy in his 70s singing Foxy Lady.

It'd be funny to see what that would've looked like if he ended up living long enough to do something tragic like a Christmas album or get fat and become a sit down guitarist.

Rolling Stones fans are all old, rich doctors and lawyers with ponytails.

He'd probably delve more into jazz, honestly, and we'd have psychodelic jazz - we do know he was planning on forming a group with Miles Davis and Tony Williams, so psych jazz might've been his style after all. Probably would do something like collaborate with Bob Dylan for an album of Dylan covers with that style that he developed over the years around his 50s, honestly.

Maybe Bob Dylan wouldn't have done something tragic like a Christmas album if he still had his cool friend around to do cool drugs and make cool folk blues rock collabs with.
