I was born in the 70s and I have to say that the music of the 50s is not even close to the best music. It also did not have the fastest or the best cars. Happy Days didn't come on the air until 1974.

And most importantly, what does this have to do with General RVing?

Don't fight it. Just let them feel important - it's all they have left. :)

Didn't say it made us feel "important", ..A lot of us grew up in the 50's and the 60's and reminisce about the times we grew up in....Just like you having memories of your growing up and what you remember..If you don't care for what Boomers opinions are...ignore us:)...we'll go away...eventually...

It maybe should have been posted in ATC, but if you were "put off" by this post...why did you even bother to read or post:R...All generations will be different..At almost 66 I've seen and lived it...By the way, after the 70's...There REALLY hasn't been much "good music", in my Baby Boomer opinion. I remember 50's, 60's and 70's music and liked all of those 3 decades. I got married in 70', My 3 children were born from 71 thru 79').. I was in the military and was in Viet Nam in the early 70's..so I remember the decade very well...has a lot of memories, just like the 50's and the 60's.:)

If you noticed the smiley face on my posts, you might have realized that I was just playing,

And OF COURSE you think the music of your era is the "best" - it's your music. But ask any generation what the best music is and they will say the best is the music of their generation. Most people connect most to the music that came out when the person was between 13 and 22 years old - it's the age that individual tastes developed.

Funny side note: look how many baby boomer artists made a comeback by making albums of pre-1944 music. Rogers & Hart, Irving Berlin, Hoagie Carmichael, and so on. Funny, they didn't make albums of the 1950s music...

Don't have a problem with anything you posted. I even stated some of the very things you did.
Actually growing up in the 50's and 60s,, didn't listen too much to the radio...was WAYYY too busy playing outside from daylight to dark or participating in sports...wasn't much more to do back then where I grew up, though I did build my first AM radio from a kit and remember listening to 8 tracks when I was allowed to drive the family car..Love music, listen to it loud...but never lost any sleep over it or argued about it...Have my likes and dislikes just like anyone else when it comes to the subject...

We grew up with the expansion of technology!

The Boeing 707, with which one of Boeing's test pilots, did a barrel roll over the Seattle Seafair Hyrdo plane races.

Kids getting rid of "Three on the Tree" for a Hurst floor shiftier.

Reverbs for the car radio, to make it sound like stereo.

Now days we have eight and 10 speed automatic transmissions, in the 60's GM had the Power Glide Two speed automatic!

Life before the Interstate Highway system!! You drove through every city and town on the way, took about six hours to drive 150 miles.

I still remember the STOP LIGHT, on the I90 detour in Wallace, ID before it was bypassed. There was also a stop light at the west end of I90 in downtown Seattle.
