The Lone Magician Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 When do you guys think music was best? I'm going with the '80s or '90s. Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Late 80's early 90's. Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Don't make a poll or anything. Link to comment
The Lone Magician Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Don't make a poll or anything. If I made a poll, there'd be too many choices. Link to comment
Alundra Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Mid 90's; when STP was amazing, Dream Theater was producing their greatest albums, Spock's Beard was getting good, and Rage was still together. Link to comment
Anime Gee Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 It's always amazing. You just have to say no to the corporate fucks & look for the underground. You'll be amazed at what you find! ( ^o^) <3 As far as mainstream goes, it's hard to pin it, but I'll say late '60s, 70's, & some of the '80s. Link to comment

The Lone Magician Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hey, this is the 404th topic, apparently. Link to comment
Crube Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 '60s Fun because I've been listening to Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, and so forth. But, I really don't have a favorite era. I just listen what I like to listen. Link to comment
Samurai Drifter Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Every era has its great points and its low points, in terms of music. But I think rock really thrived in the 70's and 80's. Link to comment
Kreutz Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I'm voting for the 90's, as it includes everything from Nevermind to The Fragile, from grunge to pop-punk to...post-grunge, I guess. Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 this is kinda like saying... When was art the best. Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 this is kinda like saying... When was art the best. Well I think he means what period did we enjoy the most. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 In the early nineteenth century, that's when it was best. Or the seventies. But seriously, there are great bands from all eras. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Never. Yeah, music pretty much sucks. Link to comment
Belial Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Music is always going to be the greatest tomorrow. I can't wait for the next big thing to break. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Late 60's all the way. Now, the late 80's early 90's had a lot of great stuff, but it just can't compare to what was going on back then. Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Everything before 1980. Link to comment
FaultyClockwork Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 90s to present. I say that mainly because Black Metal and Neofolk began flourishing then and has continued into the present time, ever expanding. Link to comment
Elitist Indie Hipster Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Elvis , Dylan. They influenced the bands of yesterday. Nirvana, Soundgarden, U2 etc. They influeced the bands of today. So the theoretically everything is the best , cause your hear influence from everything throughout time. Link to comment
Federal Network Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 as other have said music was never the best because something always comes along and tops it for someone out there. The era most enjoyed for me is the 90's to present. Most bands i listen too are from that era. And the amount of bands is vast as is the genres. Today is a good time for music IMO. there may be alot of shite*there always was* but there are more quality bands than there ever were Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I agree that the current era is great for music, if only because of the proliferation of self-recording and self-publishing technologies. It means that a lot of bands that don't have any mainstream appeal whatsoever (say, drone metal bands) can still publish tons of albums. It's probable that there were tons of interesting bands historically that could never get a record deal, and so we've never heard their music -- though, if they had been around today, they could have just recorded an album themselves.

darkon Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Late 60's and late 80's/early 90's. Generic thing to say I know. Link to comment
Elitist Indie Hipster Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Whenever the Shaggs were around, because according to Frank Zappa, they were better than the Beatles. If you dont know who they are, i suggest you listen to their extremely influencial music. Link to comment
