Would like to have seen more Beatles and Beach Boys, Brian was an is a genius, and more Motown, but this is your list, not mine, and most of those songs mean something to me too. Music has really defined our generation, from the jukebox and sock hops to Woodstock and beyond. Seriously, I could do this all day. We had and have the Best Music Ever. Thank you so much for this Alan. You know I dont even think you could do favorite group, band, singer of this age and limit it to 50, But is so great to do this.

Thanks much Allison. I could do a major revision from all the songs other Boomers have reminded be about. It was fun to do.

Girl and boy bands today have nothing over Our Generation! I was only 10 years old when Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison was released. But it is definitely my favorite song of all time! Righteous list, Alan. This is great, Gavin. Thanks for sharing. Thanks, Joe. Drives me nuts…. They played awful guitar music while they were stoned on acid and they still insist that horrible stinky bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd were somehow anything but terrible.

Chicago also a fave of mine. Saw them recently at Bethel Woods. As great as ever. Interesting idea, Bill. It would require some serious research, since I would venture that the vast majority of originals are hard to beat. Thanks for the picks, Alan. I agree with many of your selections! The Beatles recorded over songs and almost all are excellent. Both songs, pure genius. Thanks, John. Just spent the last hour going through all the lists and comments…. Picking only one song for each is the tough part for sure.

His lists from several sources would make you drool…. Suffice to say, the music never stops….. Thanks, Nair. It made me laugh every time I heard it. Sorry to say that I was not a big Bowie fan, Margaret. No doubt, though, that he was one of the greats.

Oh my.. Thanks … a lot. Superb list; like all the adds, too. Linda Ronstadt? More Eagles and Jackson Browne? Too many to name…. Loved all of the above and more, Diane, but I purposely limited the list to 50 songs, with only one from each artist or group.

If anything, they belong to Generation X. True, Jason. Hi Alan, thank you for taking the time to respond to me. On the one hand, I feel like music made from roughly has been largely forgotten, especially some of the underground music.

And on the other, some of it has been poached as belonging to other generations. I understand how you feel completely, Jason. When, of course, Baby Boomers invented it. And so, too, does some music. Thanks much for your feedback! A wonderful song with a profound message, Dave.

Dylan was born in and Lennon, in Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are much younger either, both being born in There really should be a sub-generation for those born around and during WW2 like there is with Xennials. Start our interactive quiz. Questions: Time Limit: Skip to main content.
