We have....we are blessed...born in the 20th century when music is so much part of our lives
Imagine being born before 1955
All that Elvis and Bop A Bopping about..no New Order or the 80's
How life would have been for us then..
I appreciate my mum and dad now so much for making me in 1968
I'm just glad I wasn't born in 1879 instead of 1979...though to be fair, I probably could have avoided being drafted for the Spanish-American War by revealing my distrust of the McKinley administration...
Oh, and the music back then sucked

In 1904, you would have been rocking out...to Scott Joplin. 
1905 kept the good times rollin'. :p
1914 was a bad year for music..."The Trenchfoot Shuffle" was top of the charts, the boy band Austria-Hungary was storming the charts with their hit "Baby I Want Your Serbian Rolls", and Kaiser Bill and the Wacky War Cabinet were mixing the mad beats in Berlin for David Bowie. Not a good year at all 
I just feel blessed is all!! I dint have to put up with..or grow up with .. all that swing shite...
Liberation for post 1955 ers...
cd players..internet...communication...Barney on stage doing his thing...Some really upper most bands going now..
WE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD
What's so bad about swing music? It's the secret weapon we used against Hitler. Didn't you ever see Swing Kids? 
Hairy muff..but thats not wot in my head. how good we av it!! If we was born post 1955 or in 2050 how would we be with none of the sounds we have now??...NO 80's...no old skool, no rave, no beat, no guitar, no lyrics and no vocals???
We got it made!!!
Except for the whole "massive and messed-up war over terrorism all over the world" thing...I'd agree with ya.
Yeah, thank god I was born in the time of rock music

How different we must be.
We're only thankful we're here now BECAUSE we're here now. In 2040, people will look at music from the 80s the way we look at music from the 40s. People in 1905 would have been horrified to hear New Order. I'd reckon EVERY generation thinks theirs is the best.
through an influnce by my brother of sabbath,floyd,bowie.i found my 'own thing' in punk john peel then found others to tempt me.i.e.order,bunnymen,gene great to have been around but my daughter would say now is-with mc/dance stuff of course
Thanks God I didn't born in... ehr... what was that time people cut the balls off Mel Gibson fighting for Scotland or something? Yeah, that was a bad time...

That was in 1995, back when "Lorena Bobbit-fever" was sweeping the nation (much like Pac-Man fever in the early Eighties)
I'm so old I remember when R&B artists settled their disputes peacefully and did not shoot guns at each other.
I often wish I was born in the early '70s, instead of the mid '80s, for although I caught the tail end of grunge (Nirvana had a few good songs and Smashing pumpkins were awesome), the music of my adolescence (that I tried so hard to avoid) was the "Macarena", the "Train", the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, bad ganster rap (Busta Rhymes and Wu Tang up to Nelly and 50 Cent), and laughable pop-punk/emo. Most of my musis is at least 15 years old or ayn new albums I buy are from bands that formed in the late '70s and '80s. However, I don't regret never enjoying the music of my generation because now I can look back and, instead of thinking, "Man, I had such bad taste in 1997. I can't believe I thought Wu Tang were the epitome of cool," I just realize that my taste in music had more substance.
