I don't know. Going by your handle I'm assuming you grew up in the seventies, like me (I was born late in 1961). For me, the band that got me into music appreciation was the Beatles, this was around 1970, the year they broke up. I was too young to have seen the excitement of Beatlemania circa 1964 and yet, I can feel the same excitement. I think certain artists like the Beatles and Rolling Stones as well as Led Zeppelin, who I did see, will always have an impact on generations to come.
By the way, you need an avatar, Sly
