What era had the best music?

60s-80s.

well it sure as hell aint today

hell na, todays music sucks donkey balls, then it takes a smoke break then sucks monkey balls.

50's to 90's

very well put it hurts to go to any school dance because the Dj's play all that bilge like Miley cyrus and the jonas brothers it makes me sad to think what humanity is becoming

i would totally have to agree.

I agree with EMB. Haha rhyme-age, sweet.

only thing about late 80s i reaally like (new stuff) was gnr. they were behind ther time.

Hippies time for me. 90s was awesome, and today's has some interesting and innovative stuff, so i chose 3: 60s-70s, 90s, and Today... Aside from the typical pop stuff. Though it has it's uses.

well to choose a single decade ill pick the 80's. metallica, megadeth,iron maiden, black sabbath, alice cooper.. 80's has got it all!

errr...black sabbath was 70s....

Ozzy was in the 80's if that helps [RANDY!!!!!!!!!]

nobody likes the 30's-50's? none of that big band swing? No frank sinatra? no blues, or jazz?

well they still played in the 80's

black sabbath? just reunions. ozzy was the man with randy and jake. i like randy personally.

Black Sabbath has lots of albums from the 80's

personally i prefer Dio to Ozzy

really?? wow, to me...after ozzy left there was no black sabbath.

yeah. i just think with Dio's voice it gives them more freedom with what they play. because Dio has a larger range in what he can sing

true. but ozzy's is sooo unique, i like dio better with dio. lol.

yeah, i dont like ozzy much after randy. randy was underrated and zakk is overrated

so true. to me ozzy ws only good with randy, sure batm was good, and the ultimate sin and no more tears, but as albums, it sucked. every song on boo and doam were amazing.

WHO voted for today today's music is HORRIBLE

God i know! i only put it there cause i had to be fair.

Yeah, I'm into all styles of music; Classical, Jazz, Swing, Bebop, Blues, Soul, Funk, Metal, Fusion and so on.

I voted for today's music. A shame you don't understand why.

Some of it has REALLY good rhythm. Not lyrics though, some do though. Mainstream pop definetly doesn't. Mainstream has AWSOME rhythms though. Its over-production to a tee, but hey its catchy. One I like, but have been afraid to admit [Cos' I'm prolly one of the forum's known metalheads] is Kate Perry's "Hot N' Cold". Let the critisism begin....

Im discussed this with many musicians and music lovers...answer is always same. 70's is best decade music ever had and ever will be.

cheers
Empirism

I haven't even heard of the song. I tend to like pop stuff, but i'm not saying it's musically impressive, merely satisfies what they're trying to achieve.

I have my reasons for liking every style, I'll explain why someday.

i guess your right, i can respect that.

who voted todaay???

Again, I did.

explain...now.

Jeez, how many times has this argument come up?! The mainstream music of today is pretty poor, but there is loads of awesome stuff out there though.

Agreed.

I'm gonna say 80's cause everything has been done up to that point. Nothing new since new wave. And don't say "what about alternative?" Alternative is just rock from Seattle!

Just because you dón't care for anything outside of your comfort zone, right now there are amazing jazz/fusion musicians.

I say 80's cuz thats when they had satch and eddie. but i think 60's to 70's is a close second.

Saying that contemporary music sucks is in the same vein as saying rock n roll/heavy metal is the devil. You see what you choose to see, or in this case, hear what you choose to hear.

I voted eighties because by then all the crazy experimental stuff was not that cool anymore.

Plus I think Heavy Metal's Golden age was in the 80's

Although the big band era produced some sweet tunes.

I agree with Jazzmav. I've learned to like all kinds of music but not ALL music, some of it is disgraceful.

i don't know why people are hating on todays music. You obviously aren't looking in the right places. All of the mainstream artists today suck! But todays indie,alternative, and underground bands are amazing. They are just as creative as anyone else. For example bands like MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, The Killers, Coldplay, Muse, Grizzly Bear, Beach Fossils, Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon (not their new album), Neon Indian, Phoenix, Spoon, Weezer, The White Stripes, and many many more

amazing how my opinion changed now. i would say the 60s then the 70s then the 80s. hippie generation had it all
