I can think of hundreds of great tracks from that period. I've managed to discover perhaps an equal number from after, but I had to dig really hard to find them. The "popular" stuff these days is chrome-plated garbage.

I remember reading somewhere that people prefer music they first heard around ages 13 - 21.

Just curious, what age were you when you first heard those tracks?

That's true for me. Unfortunately, I'm an outlier in the sense that I heard virtually zero music before 13 (as if I were living on an Amish farm or something).

Moreover 1960s to 1990s is a larger time frame than from 2000 to 2019

I'd put the golden age at 1969-1984 or so, but that's just me.
