(37,648 posts)There is music in that decade that I like, too.
Just post some of the sales for the 20 years after the songs were issued, to see if sales are still strong 20 years later, and comparable to Dylan or Beatles or Presley songs 20 years after their hit songs were released.
Ask some music afficionados. They'll tell you. The 1960s was the heyday of creative genius in music in our country and produced scads of music and talent that have become part of our history and will stay relevant for decades to come.
Bear in mind that there are more people now than in the 60s, so just to be equal, sales for 80s music would have to be more than those for 60s.
You really think most people know who The Smiths are or head their music? Really?
Because someone points out a reality does not mean it's a personal insult. It's just a reality. This is objective, and not subjective.
