1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything | Apple TV+

I love a lot of music from that era(born in 70), but I'm really tired of all of the documentaries about self-absorbed boomers telling us how amazing they are.

David Crosby

Insufferable douche, his own former band members refuse to associate with him.

It's a miracle that POS is even alive today.

Yeah, that looks pretty good.

First thing that has tempted me to pay for Apple TV+

---

You should pay for it to see Ted Lasso and For All Mankind if you have not seen them.

Queen formed in '71. However, they very rarely got political in their music so they probably won't be included in this documentary. A pity since they're arguably the greatest rock band of all time. Top 5 for sure.

---

They might get a shout out for forming, but Queen didn't put an album out until '73. Why would they be the focus of a documentary on the music of '71?

I'll have to watch it and let you know. I was surprised by how much I liked Ted Lasso. It's probably the first series in a long time that I liked. The only reason we have Apple TV+ was that my wife got a phone this past year and we got a free year with it. I'm sure I will cancel once that year is up. The only thing worth it I have seen is Ted Lasso, and I think the 2ed season comes out in July so I will be done once the year is over.

Maybe I missed it in the trailer, but I'm pretty sure American Pie came out in 1971. It's probably the greatest song of that era

---

Vincent off the same album is as good if not better. It's amazing those 2 songs were written around the same time.

quote:

---

I suppose they were just standing up on stage in silence in '71?

---

You can't be serious. You think a documentary on the music of 1958 should showcase The Beatles?

quote:

---

As opposed to the features on post-Boomer bands where they demurely refuse any mention of their importance?

---

I have zero interest in even watching a documentary on a band from the 21st century. Been watching Boomers pat themselves on the back in movies and documentaries for 50 years and still can't figure out why they are so fond of themselves.

And now we get to do it all over again with the current 20 somethings.

That looks terrible.

When is this whole hating boomers shite going to stop being a thing on the internet? It's pretty lame (signed someone born in '82)

It moves forward with each generation. That sexist/racist Greatest Generation is about gone, the Silent Generation that slid in to selfishly benefit from the post-war growth and went on to homogenize America is too old to hate on, so the self-important sell-outs of the Baby Boomer Generation are the targets. We'll get to hating on the Generation Xers soon enough. Probably target them for their falling for the greed and commercialism of the 80's and 90's and allowing Punk to die and Rap to thrive. The younger generations will find something to blame on them.
