That is a matter of opinion.  I personally don't think that they were that great or that innovative.  Rock N Roll entered a dark age the day Buddy Holly died and didn't emerge until the Remones came on the scene.

Quote:BTW, the greatest year in jazz is considered to be 1959, when Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, John Colerain, Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Charlie Mingus and Duke Ellington (among others) released great albums that defined new directions in jazz -- most unique to themselves at the time, but copied by many later.

I'd agree.  I'd also point out that by and large their music wasn't geared toward Boomers either.

Unlike Boomers other generations are not enamored with the odor of their own flatulence.  A great deal of the Boomers I know love the Beatles because at first they pissed off their parents for being noise.  These days they mostly use them to piss off their children.
