Love it.
I feel similarly about the quality (don't know what else to call it) of the many songs I listen to from that time, compared to similarly popular songs over the past decades.
Though for me they're also nostalgic in a way which clouds my judgement: I was introduced to vast amounts by my dad in the 90s.
I do think there's some selection bias when we sample tunes that already ran through the filter of their time and 50 to 60 more years of collective filtering.
One group I still didn't know much about and I think many people still don't (paradoxically so) was the Beatles.
When I was 18, a friend lent me every album from Revolver through Abbey Road.
If you haven't listed to those all the way through, you may be in for a treat.
Also, if you want to hear an incredible modern artist's own
version of a protest song, check out Sturgill Simpson's Sea Stories. Dude was in the navy and wrote it as part of a concept album dedicated to giving his first child life advice.
