The members of The Beatles, Paul, John, George and Ringo began to put out their solo work in the 70s although George had a couple of albums before the Beatles split.

Yep, to me music mostly died when the trend went to Disco around 1976. The late 1960's were probably the most creative time for music and the early 70's the best. To me the Golden Age = 1966 to 1976.

I hear ya but there was still some great stuff during that era. For me, music died when Video killed the Radio Star.

Black Oak Arkansas.

They didn't last long but they were outselling many bands while touring in the 70s.
