    Off-Topic Best singing voice of your generation

    Off-Topic Best singing voice of your generation

    You are absolutely correct. I got carried away. I thought of it as people I've heard in my life, ergo, my generation. However, what exactly is meant by "my generation"? I'm Gen X so that means I only get from the late 60's to 1980 or something? Is that the essential ask?
