I consider myself to be very fortunate and lucky to have been nable to see these bands at the height of their popularity.
I consider you very lucky aswell. Sure, we can listen to the Beatles music nowadays in probably much better quality than before, and there is a very high respect rate for them, but we will never be able to see them live anymore - back in there former glory. Theres Paul McCartney still touring, but its not the same.

I was born in the 90s too, and theres a fair share of good music from the 90s-00s, but then again, theres just as much crap music generated in these last two decades. While The Beatles were the height of popularity even then, the height of popularity for the average mainstream under-20 is Kanye West.

And I hate that.
