There's too much music, just pick a decade out of a hat & be done with the rest. Not enough time.

My joke was about how a lot of rock music didn't become brilliant until 1965-onward in terms of the second wave (The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, etc.) after it was transformed from blues and other genres in the 50s by people like Elvis, Chuck Berry, B.B. King, and others.

But yea white people did not exclusively invent rock at all, it was all a continuous group effort like with anything. It also involved lots of copying, especially by Zep, but doesn't detract from their brilliance.

Also: Lol at relinquished taking what I said seriously

Yea I'm still missing some classics, and I definitely don't exclusively listen to just rock and metal at all. Classical, jazz, folk, and blues all flourished the most during the 60s and before, which is part of the humor that someone who only listens to post-1965 music misses out on all of that.

Part of the great things about learning to play bass throughout teenage years is that you play and listen to tons of blues and jazz that only a student of music would get that kind of exposure to.

Classical seems to have petered out in the early 1900s in terms of masterpieces being made so consistently.

Like a music class I took didn't go into much made after The Rite of Spring, if anything we shifted focus to minimalism, avant-garde, and ambient being really developed by some of those techniques.

"Classical seems to have petered out in the early 1900s in terms of masterpieces being made so consistently."

This could not be a more wrong opinion, check the second viennese school

That's the most widely held opinion, like I'm talking about compared to when the most famous and regarded ones were made like the 1700s-early 1900s. I'm not saying there hasn't been any amazing classical music from after that time.

Has the world ever seen a musical genius of the same caliber as Corey Taylor?
