I was born in '71, and didn't really get into popular music until college [all I had was a clock radio until my senior year of HS], and I agree with the old fogeys' opinion that '67-'79 is the unequivocal apex of American RnR.
The year the GnR, Nirvana and PJ were all on the charts, '91 or '92, might beat a single year in that era, but that's it.
