TheSpaceMan 07.09.16	"65 to 75, does that count ?" [2] otherwise 70s = 90s I couldnt decide, though I lean towards 90s cause I grew up in the 90s

oltnabrick 07.09.16	whever on
wham49 07.09.16	you changed my mind 65-75 maybe 65-78 surprised by the 90's the 2000's, come on guys, live a little 90's were very diverse as well, 60's and 80's dominated too much by one genre maybe it depends on the genre 60's pop and psych and folk of course 70's prog and metal(doom) 80's metal (not Hair), stadium rock 90's hard rock includes everything 2000's no idea, prog metal maybe punk throughout
hal1ax 07.09.16	90z
zakalwe 07.09.16	Anyone who lived shit knows that 2000 onwards was shite.
wham49 07.09.16	thank you zak, well put, that is why it was not an option, only really 4 great music decades
Avagantamos 07.09.16	90s prob. really like 00s as well, especially early 00s
BallsDeep 07.09.16	@wham49. Is that a joke?
Ocean of Noise 07.09.16	The 90s are fairly easily my favourite decade.
Itwasthatwas 07.09.16	90s by a mile
wham49 07.09.16	balls, what are you refering to, the 2000's thing by far the worst decade of music, music was over by the late 90's. Sorry but everything was done before that, most things were retreads of thing done before, that and way too much playing to a specific sub genre, that is boring, bands were like( we are a ___________ band, we only write music for that) nobody was taking chances. this is ofcourse MO, anybody agree
Rik VII 07.09.16	"music was over by the late 90's." what
wham49 07.09.16	Rik, I guess there was no more mystery, you knew exactly what you were getting, and like I said most things were played out by then, everything was pinned down, everybody was looking for shock value, or the opposite way indie music went which wasn't good either, very bland
someguest 07.09.16	80s, no contest even pop music was good that decade
Artuma 07.09.16	"Sorry but everything was done before that" have you heard like five albums from the decade or what
LotusFlower 07.09.16	80s pop is atrocious
adr 07.09.16	you're atrocious
MrSirLordGentleman 07.09.16	70's Sayin that there are no great post 90's bands is pretty ignorant tho
wham49 07.09.16	never said that, but there isn't anyone that can hang with the big boys of the 70's, for very long at least
someguest 07.09.16	"80s pop is atrocious" found the daily idiot
wham49 07.09.16	people please prove me wrong, give me some of the best( your best ) albums from the 2000's => any genre. Besides for some metal bands I havent heard anything worst hearing over a hundred or so 70's bands
Valkyrion 07.09.16	listen to more than 597 albums before making generalizations about decades tbh, try again when you reach 5970 for me 60s and 00s
MrSirLordGentleman 07.09.16	Dude, I don't even listen to that much of modern music and I can think of many great modern, original albums that rule hard
BallsDeep 07.09.16	@wham49 nah that's the stupidest thing I've ever read man One could argue that music had been stagnating this decade but definitely not the 2000's - a lot of sub genres particularly of metal weren't fully refined until the 2000's. Obviously me choosing this time period this reflects my preference for metal but saying that music was over by the late 90's is a ridiculous statement.
Pon 07.09.16	Guy who listens to literally nothing but guitar music from the 90s and back beating his gums about how modern music sucks wow i'm staggered
Egarran 07.09.16	90s. Black Metal saved the music industry.
wham49 07.09.16	have listened to thousands of albums, just have rated that many, have bettter things to do than rate every single album I have heard, especially since most are not even on this site, so I would have to create to rate plus you guys blast me but cant give me any recs from the decade you are so passionate about, give me some killer recs and, maybe you guys should do the same and go back, there was a whole world before nirvana guys they were not the creators
wham49 07.09.16	balls, maybe that is why I havent gotten into newer music, refined subgenres are not my thing, I like the term "music" not a five word description of a subgenre within a subgenre, hang up for me, bands box themselves in too much
Pon 07.09.16	The problem is you're so obviously closed minded that giving you any recs that can "hang with the big boys of the 70's" (lol) would be a waste of time.
MrSirLordGentleman 07.09.16	Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun Gorillaz - Demon Days Agalloch - The Mantle Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandora's Piñata Casualties of Cool - Casualties of Cool David Bowie - Blackstar (70's artist but there's nothing old on the album's sound) Porcupine Tree - In Absentia Radiohead - In Rainbows The Reign of Kindo - Rhytm, Chord & Melody Tame Impala - Currents Todd Terje - It's Album Time Are some of the albums I can think of and it's not like any of them is some dark, underground piece of music
Pon 07.09.16	Where even are ur Autechre ratings u fuckin pleb
Valkyrion 07.09.16	autechre are good but do they even compare with THE WALL ????????????????
Pon 07.09.16	Joanna Newsom? Never heard of her but I doubt she compares to 70's big boys like Aerosmith.
BallsDeep 07.09.16	Opposeite to boxing themselves in man you have bands like Opeth, Ulver, Isis, Agalloch, Neurosis, Deftones, Blut Aus Nord etc deviating from their 90's sound and experimenting with other subgenres and soundscapes. And they're just a few examples in the metal real off the top of the dome but eitherway the 2000's were an intersting time in music. And fuck i'm just answering your initial question (which should include 2000s as an option).
Artuma 07.09.16	"you guys blast me but cant give me any recs from the decade you are so passionate about" like, where should we even start? idk, check out choirs of the eye for example for some very unique 00s master class music
wham49 07.09.16	radiohead, porcupine tree, Bowie, are great agreed, lost me with the Gorillas, not really even a band, always a whole different group, and jac, looking at your ratings, looks like your trying to hard to be cool, the smiths at a five great call, of the 2000 something rating that makes into the 5's and I hate the wall, you guys have no idea, that shit from the 70's is not what I am into
Snide 07.09.16	1. 2000s 2. 1950s 3. Early 1960s (before all the hippie bullshit) 4. 1990s 5. 1980s
MrSirLordGentleman 07.09.16	I can't see how is that a valid critic to Gorillaz's sound
Gwyn. 07.09.16	70's
Artuma 07.09.16	@gentleman uhhhh, about half of your recs aren't 00s
Keyblade 07.09.16	music died in 96 let's not sugarcoat things fellas
MrSirLordGentleman 07.09.16	@Artuma he said music went shit after the 90's which means he thinks both 00's and 2010's music is bad
Pon 07.09.16	Not having cookie cutter dad rawk taste is trying too hard I guess. The funny thing is this dude champions these four decades while overlooking so many developments that peaked in them, then has the gall to say "music was over by the late 90's" Can't make this shit up.
BallsDeep 07.09.16	yeah I was going to say haha m'gentlesir your recs span about 3 decades
tacos n stuff 07.09.16	Every decade had its fair share of good stuff and total wank, but I guess either 00s or 70s if i had to pick
BallsDeep 07.09.16	I thought music died in 1959
MrSirLordGentleman 07.09.16	Failed at Sigur Ros which is '99 forgot about that one, sorry I don't think it makes a big difference tho
Valkyrion 07.09.16	music died in 1931
adr 07.09.16	music died with Bach Beethoven was a scam
wham49 07.09.16	isnt absentia and the gorrillas and sugar rios and in rainbows in the late 90's, or my mistake early 00's, and guys I never said their was not good music being made, just not at the grand scale as the other four decades and Jac maybe my rating show some pattern of classic rock tendencies, but that is only due to raring laziness like I said, not sure if the Zappa, Genesis, Yes, Larry Coryell, Roky Erickson, or any of that JAzz stuff I rated you would know enough of to know it is not dad rock, which is a term I hate, because it is basically the indie music of now with good production
MrSirLordGentleman 07.09.16	"just not at the grand scale as the other four decades" I can agree with you in that, partially. But I think the main reason is that today's mainstream music sucks while it didn't back then but mainstream music being bad doesn't mean there are less good bands, just that they aren't a comercial success
adr 07.09.16	not sure if the Zappa, Genesis, Yes, Larry Coryell, Roky Erickson, or any of that JAzz stuff I rated you would know enough
wham49 07.10.16	fair enough Sir, problem is how do you know until you know, people always bring up Opeth, which I cant stand, and the indie shit many of my students bring up, I am bored by them, probably me but, I think"would these guys be relevant in earlier decades", and the answer is usually no, they would have been lost in the hundreds of other bands
ZippaThaRippa 07.10.16	My favorite decade is this one because it's the one that I'm currently alive in and I like a lot of things about being alive
BallsDeep 07.10.16	well you asked which decade was our favorite not which one spawned the most genres and we gave you our answers. Also Opeth wouldn't have been around in the earlier decades because the style of music they play wasn't realized until the 90's but if they were then I'm sure they would be deemed as visionary and revolutionary in not just metal but music in general
L4titudes 07.10.16	90s probably
p4p 07.10.16	30s
Koris 07.10.16	90s
teamster 07.10.16	I like '80s movies the best
KingdomOfTyrant 07.10.16	90s and 00s
Egarran 07.10.16	80s were fantastic, especially for metal, but the decade also had so much shit it can't be best.
wham49 07.10.16	balls, If you mean death metal than ya for sure not till the 90's but most people think they are so much more than that, could not get through the 2 albums I have tried to hear, I cant stand death metal, I also asked for some reasoning behind the decade not the usual anything before 2002 is dad rock or anything after 89 blows, whatever, was surprised by the outcome, more 90's than I thought, but I guess it is the users, I was of age to make 90's my fave but think it is weaker than the 70's but better than the 80's in some respects, like I said earlier depends on what your into, early doom, or metal or jazz rock or prog or hybrid psych rock, whicjh is what I get into, ill take the 70's
p4p 07.10.16	read some of the comments and wow "80's dominated too much by one genre" "80's metal (not Hair), stadium rock" haha almost choked on my porridge, good one there. you're a bloody idiot mister wham49
Egarran 07.10.16	Don't be mean, he tries.
sputnik1 07.10.16	80's
MyNameIsPencil 07.10.16	probably 90's, but the 00's aren't too far behind. the last 20 years have been blessed with a lot more diversity I would say
benkim 07.11.16	90s and 00s.
wham49 07.11.16	p4p, what do you mean, first of all I may be an idiot but I am not stupid, and I know first hand how bad the 80's unfortunately got The good music was really really good, but the bad, IE hair metal, late 80's pop got really really bad. The 80's was really inventive in spots, but commercialism and money made everybody veer toward the middle eventually. I love the 80's thrash, early 80's pop, new wave, the new direction punk went were all great, bad keyboards and power ballads made it bad. not sure how that opinion makes me an idiot, but I have to remember that most of you were born after I graduated college, so I guess I get what I ask for being on this site
Keyblade 07.11.16	90's cuz hip hop is the correct answer
wham49 07.11.16	agree, late 80's early 90's were the pinnacle of that movement, I would say, but I am an idiot so I am probably wrong, my guess is most people here think it is the last couple years. LOL
BallsDeep 07.11.16	90s Hip Hop was fucking fantastic but in general metal>hip hop as I'm sure you will concur
wham49 07.11.16	ah ya, But I take 80's metal over 90's in most respects, though I do like Iced earth, and shit like that in the 90's
zakalwe 07.11.16	For the albums 70s. For the nostalgia 90s. Fuck it 90s
wham49 07.11.16	70's albums, cant get better, only reason 90's is in the running is nostalgia, many firsts came during 90's music
DrGonzo1937 07.11.16	"For the albums 70s. For the nostalgia 90s. Fuck it 90s" [2]
Pon 05.22.17	gr8 thread
Conmaniac 05.22.17	"2000's no idea, prog metal maybe" lol
CalculatingInfinity 05.22.17	The 10's tbh
Ryus 05.22.17	anyone who says that the 2000s and 2010s suck for music is actually stupid
Conmaniac 05.22.17	yeah even Zak loves the decades
Ryus 05.22.17	agree
butcherboy 05.22.17	77-87
TecumsehGargoyle 05.22.17	I'm partial to the anthems of the 2046-2054 Mega Cyber War era

Egarran 05.23.17	ctrl+f: I am an idiot
zakalwe 05.23.17	Living - The 90s The 'scene' - The 60s Albums+bands - The 70s
wham49 05.23.17	not into spandex and aquanet zak
Artuma 05.23.17	"2000's no idea, prog metal maybe" lmao good bump
guitarded_chuck 05.23.17	70s for music, 10's for living, 10's for music is close though it's just totally different its hard to even compare good music / live shows / the album were all more integral parts of society in the 70s though
zakalwe 05.23.17	I have to say the 80s were pretty bloody awful wham man unless you were metal.
Source 05.23.17	90's. Best music, best sports, best movies. Also my childhood.
Rik VII 05.23.17	Best movies goes to 00s because of Asian masterpieces all over the place. When it comes to American cinema, yeah probably the 90s
Sinternet 05.23.17	00's probably has most of my favourite albums, depending on the rest of it 10's might overtake though
wham49 05.24.17	pjorn, yes I agree, I must of been in a bad mood those couple of days, because looking back I was a jag most of the time
