The 70's thru the 2000's Was Possibly The best decades for music lovers.

From the Let Us Talk Music blog, greetings. I am your jovial and optimistic blogger, Lisa Owens, your metal momma. Well, let's get right to it.  Having been born in 1967, I am a proud member of Generation X and will turn 57 on December 1st, 2024. According to Google searches, Gen X refers to people who were born between 1965 and 1980, though some people also include people who were born in the later 1980s.  Generation X is a class all by itself. We were Latch Key Kids, or whatever you want to call us, little adults of eleven or twelve years old, with lots of free time and no supervision. As much as I cherish my childhood memories, I also acknowledge that, when I was younger, I could never have predicted that I would look back on them and think of them as amazing experiences. This is why I brought up Generation X—the music. I was exposed to some amazing music when I was growing up. At the age of twelve or so, I was first allowed to use my father's amazing eight-track recorder, turntable, and reel-to-reel player. The 1980s saw the advent of the CD and cassette eras. Compact discs had a very high-quality sound compared to albums.  I was so amazed at how clear the music was and the quality of the voices. The musicians we were enjoying were hugely successful. There was an abundance of talent in the world, regardless of genre: pop, rock, metal, or country. For me, it was a huge blessing to be able to purchase my favorite music. It was great having a weekly trip to the local record store; not only did we buy new music, but we also bought music magazines, posters, and stereo accessories as well. I think that growing up in the 1970s was great. We had rockin 70s groups and solo artists as well. Disco, pop, and country were also hot.  Not to mention, still very popular and enjoyed were country artists like Buck Owens, Mel Tillis, Merle Haggard, and Conway Twitty. I am more of a rock and metal enthusiast, but I do enjoy all genres of music. I still purchase albums and CDs, but I really enjoy my streaming service. Endless music and no clutter in your car. I don't think that there are many days that I don't listen to music for at least several hours. My playlists feature a wide range of musical genres, such as pop, rap, metal, disco, bluegrass, and classical.
