My son is musically inclined and I asked him why he is listening to so much old 1960s and 1970s rock music. He says its because its good, and it's better than anything new he can find. I was alarmed to learn also that he is not alone by any means. It is absolutely normal for kids to listen to that era of music.
I thought kids were supposed to have their own music so they could alienate their parents.
For goodness sake, it's great that the likes of Jeff Beck are more popular today than they were in their hey day, but the idea of a 16 year old admiring a guy who is now about 65 seems a bit odd.
So my question is, who are the good musicians today? Not necessarily rock, but any genre of lively and energetic music. Are the kids missing something new?
