Which decade has the better music?

[5dfggf4f]

I think it's safe to say that the significant majority of posters here are under 30, and all but a small handful are under 40. People generally tend to favor the music that was produced and released while they were growing up. That's primarily what was pushed at them on the radio and in record stores, and of course on the internet for the last couple decades.

So it's not surprising that the 60's and 70's aren't doing that well. Which is meaningless, since everything is subjective and there is no "best" decade. Just because the 60's/70's get fewer votes here, doesn't mean the music was somehow "worse".

The 80's aren't my favorite, but I have to admit it was a decade of great change in music. Several completely new genres came on the scene in the 80s, and some genres that were born earlier evolved in the 80's.

Not the best, IMHO, but an interesting decade nonetheless.

Well, my favorite Muse album is Origin Of Symmetry.... And the only Radiohead album i don't like more than Origin is Pablo Honey.

But thats just because i'm a Headhead... And i prefer a few other britpop banRAB to Muse... Like Super Furry Animals, Primal Scream, Manic Street Preachers, Blur, Oasis, Pulp and Stereolab.

Hell, do Gorillaz qualify as britpop?... I find myself enjoying their s/t debut more than i do Origin. :

Hey, I didn't notice the little paragraph at the end. And I was pointing out that some of those banRAB weren't mainstream.

Never said it was. But we're talking about the genre of prog rock.

These lyrics are killer! A 12 year old could write them... totally boring.

And when I saw the Blood Brothers they were totally off key and the lead singer kept trying to kiss men in the audience... hardly a good show. Sorry try again.

So??... What excuse is that?... What possible involvement is there between progressive rock music and a hardcore punk influenced grunge band?... Seriously.

But i remeraber it clearly... You were criticizing me for being a elitist proghead who discriminates against less technical forms of music, which of course if that were true, it would contradict the whole me defending Nirvana thing... Wouldn't it?
