I'd rather not be born 50 years ago since all of the music I like was made either in the 80's, 90's, or 00's.

And to all the people that dream about going back in time so you can listen to the music from the 60's in your teens - twenties think twice. In your younger years you are going to have to grow up with music from the 50's. Do you really want that?

Jazz and blues-wise, yes. But I'm happy with the decade I was born in.

Bebop, hard bop, free jazz, calypso, mento, rockabilly, zydeco, R&B, rock 'n roll, bluegrass, space age pop, lounge music? Sure, sounds nice to me.

How did you have in mind for "space age pop" Joe Meeks or Delia Derbyshire?

Django Reinhardt, Davis, Coltrane, some Brubeck. I wouldn't mind.
And what about the creation of Ska.

I really don't know that I'd agree with that. There's definitely a lot of stuff in the mainstream that lacks in substance, but if you really know where to look, there's absolutely amazing music happening right now.

...and there always has been.

End of debate, as far as I'm concerned.
