"It appears I'm about 15+ years older than you, based on you musical influences."

I'm in the generation BETWEEN yours and the OP. Your insight on the music scene(rock)
Is pretty much how I've felt. My generation didn't really produce a Clapton,Hendrix etc. By the mid 70's other stuff was developing. While musicianship was still there, visual "show antics"seemed to become important -Alice Cooper?Kiss(okay, they were part of my JHS years,drop kicked them by HS)
By late 70s rock REALLY branches off-punk,new wave etc. By the time I finished high school, I thought most bands that DIDNT come out of the 60s /70's were either ridiculous,or a lame ripoff.
Perhaps catching Aerosmith during their Rocks tour or Van Halen on their first arena tour or maybe AC/DC being the unknown opening band for Aerosmith is about as close to compare to what you've experienced. While I like the post 70's movements, it gets very dicey by the 80's.
I'm jealous hearing my older brothers experiences similar to yours.
Oh well, at least I can still buy just about any period record in great shape for cheap!
