I was scowering reddit and there was a post that changed some words to "Losing my religion" and instead of the top comment being like a play on the next lines of the song, it was 12 top comments of taking the words seriously as if nobody there ever heard the song.
Literally there is so much wealth of music from the 60s to the 90s that there is no way to even introduce it all to newer generations anymore.
The fact that you limited your proposal to just those decades shows that you know nothing about music. I'm fucking old, and I've spent a lifetime learning about different types and styles of music over the last seven hundred years just in the west. I'm not even counting the weird sounds cultures that don't use our method of harmony and rhythms. In the last century, so many kinds of music developed that it would surprise most people to know about them.
There is an enormous amount of good, pleasant, well crafted music from about 1900 to 1959, and your arbitrary limitation would exclude that. There was an great stylistic change in music in the 60s, and it definitely was not for the good. Music got simpler, harsher, and stupider, and that trend never stopped. As a result, music today is unrecognizable as music. That period of time you mention had a paucity of good music, and most of it was crap.
Music is a written language in itself, started in high-school with brass and woodwind, I gave my tenor sax to a family member a few years ago and never got it back, piss me off, but our music teacher/conductor always said that music expands the mind and improves comprehension levels, a good musician can easily adapt to a foreign language in quick time...just a point of interest, myself and 2 other brass members did a rendition of "Smoke on the Water" and a former band member who was visiting and assessing us and who toured with Loverboy, Streetheart and Survivor, (first name Jeff) was very impressed, fuck, I remember a concert we were in and at the end the 3 of us went rogue and did the tune and the audience was dazed and impressed but the main attraction of the concert was Robert Sheldon's Edifice. But I think music should be a part of the educational curriculum...it's also discipline, something that is sorely lacking today
I tried to learn like 3 languages before learning how to play an instrument. Now that I can play an instrument I am certain I could go back and learn a language with ease.
Learning an instrument simply strengthens an area of your mind for learning to hear sound. I feel like I can HEAR things and not be just exposed to them.
Idiot me as a kid asked "what if everyone didn't vote" and I was forced to listen to Freewill and got a whole lecture. Then having to listen to the whole Rush 2112 album because "it's a story you should know".
Getting into an argument with a friend was what prompted the "animals" by pink floyd lesson.
One needs to filter out any music involving niggers, communists or jews. That would squelch nigger mumble rap, jew pop and dogshit such as the Beatles and Pink Floyd (not to bash Gilmour though, he's too good with a guitar to be wasted on performing trash written by Waters).
If that filter doesn't leave much, good - hopefully it makes room for picking more musical pieces typical of more times than just the 1960s onwards. Include Bing Crosby performing with the Andrews Sisters, some wartime stuff, Horst-Wessel-Lied, ragtime from the 1910s, and go back until you reach those Beethoven moments which inspire modern symphonic metal.
The trouble is that the advent of searching good music on the internet now means that one can get good music only by searching on the internet. TV, movies and radio will never play anything with based subtext such as modern Accept. I'm also impressed by Powerwolf at times, try the opening to Venom of Venus to hear how awesome power metal can be when it's sung in Latin.
Most music, especially what they call classic rock is pure propaganda. Now if you want to teach math and science,lyrics and music works. That's why they use it for propaganda.

No it’s all garbage. Everything in the past 100 years can be erased and nothing of value would be lost.
I think you’re actually infatuated with the sound design aspect of it all and how everything is mixed and made to sound “just right.”
