Oops, that's 6 years. OK to get it to 5 I've got to chop off 1968 which hurts but 1973 is too strong to be cut.

What an incredible period for music. Much more going on than just those albums listed.

That's usually pretty good. I went earlier. Just by a little. Love that span of my life BTW

maybe 90-94... not just the music (debatable), but I probably went to more live shows during that time than any other...

Minus 3 years in my case but point taken. Music had started to slide a bit starting roughly in 1974 when Journey signed their first contract. And then came Disco shortly after. Music has never recovered fully from that.

I consider it a priviledge to be 15 to 20 years old during this time period. We all heard (for the first time)

Jimi Hendrix
Led Zepplin
Black Sabbath
Grand Funk Railroad
Deep Purple
The Doors
Uriah Heep
Jethro Tull
Steppenwolf
Cream
All of the psychedelic bands (Electric Prunes, Amboy Dukes, etc.)
A number of good pop bands (Animals, CCR, Box Tops, Young Rascals)

for the first time. This was the era when music listening demanded that you adjust your volume button up. Maybe that is why I now require two hearing aids because of a high end hearing loss. I will say this.....like fine wine, music from that era seems to sound better and better the older I get. I suppose I will be listening to "When The Levee Breaks" at volume 10 when I am 75 years old.

It's just when most people are most connected to music. It's an identifier at that point in your life. It defines who you are more than it will later in your life.

It's pretty cool, honestly.

I definitely agree with your sentiment, but my personal pick was a range about 10-15 years before I was born. I didn't grow up listening to those bands live, but that era of music was the first music that I really got hooked on and made me want to listen to music.
