Answer these two questions and perhaps I'll be able to enlighten you. What kind of stuff gave you chills when you first heard it? What still gives you that, 'holy-garbage-this-is-awesome' feeling? |

Not to mention legendary acts like The Beatles,The Stones, The Who,Cream, and The Beach Boys were all putting out their most influential music at that time.
Even short-lived acts like The Buckinghams,Buffalo Springfield,The Youngbloods,Blue Cheer,Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Turtles, and Quicksilver Messenger Service made an indelible imprint on the music scene. |

For most music lovers of this and others of this time, it's impossible for fans who were not around for it to understand just how friggin cool it was to be able to get fresh new music on the turn table SO OFTEN! Include the above with the southern rock scene,all kinds of old and new blues players,Mowtown etc.Guess ya just had to be there, huh? lol |

Tell me what you like and then I'll incorporate my own 'musical genome project' to find something modern that you may want to dig your fingers into. For instance, what do you listen to regularly or on purpose... Beatles?, Stones?, Hendrix?, Bread?, Enya?, Name 5 of your favorites, that's what I'm looking for. |

#19 Posted: 3/3/2011 3:09:03 PM The answer is much like what is beautiful - it's in the eye of the beholder.
Most people prefer the music of their generation, particularly when they were very young and impressionable. I am 43 and I would agree that late 60's through the 70's was great... and I include the disco era.
I hated the 80's music at the time, but now I really appreciate most of it, esp hair bands.
90's had some great stuff with the Seattle influence...

i was born toward late 70's but I have nothing 2 do with nostalgia, 60's was legendary from stax and motown sounds to rock and hard rock to jazz scene, even the blues entered a revial/golden era at this time... any age that give me velvet underground, coltrane (his prime), and james brown (prime?) is alright with me, right on!

Quite frankly, I don't really like anything before or after that.

I am so close to debate whether or not the 70's produced music which I deem inferior to the 60's, 80's, 90's and beyond.

#25 Posted: 3/9/2011 8:25:27 PM It all depends on your taste of music.
The late 60's and through the 70's had tons of classic rock that people still enjoy. That type of music isn't my bag - but I understand it's popular to many people.
For me personally the best music has def. come out of the 80's and the early 90's.
The music I liked then - and still enjoy today; most of it came out in the early to mid 80's.
Here's just a tip of the iceberg.
The Smiths
Morrissey
The Cure
Depeche Mode
Joy Division
New Order
Bauhaus
Echo and the Bunnymen
U2
REM
The Pixies
The Stone Roses
etc....... I could go on - so many great artist's made incredible music in the 80's - but it's always subjective to opinion.
I love A Flock of Seagulls, but you may think they were complete garbage. You might be in love with Aerosmith ( or another classic rock group ) and I could care less about them.
It's harder to find better music today but it's out there.
