I mainly grew up in the 2ooo's but I still think the 9o's made the best music does anyone else?

Question

also i was born in 92 so not really all in the 2000's but you know

i really like the 60's and when i first started to listen to music thats what i listened to that and the 70's never really to the 80's and at first really not the 90's except for the stuff at the end but now that i've started to listen to the likes of oasis, spacehog,cracker,nirvana,the black crowes,Ash, Beck,U2,there is so much and the fact that hiphop took off doesnt really make me mad i just dont listen.

Answer 1

i agree fully.
bring back the nineties!

Answer 2

Heck no. Nothing can compare to the music revolution that took place in the 60s when music took a 180 from 'bubblegum' pop music to the likes of The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, (the whole British invasion) Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Crosby STills, Nash & Young, Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Eric Clapton & Cream, Steve Winwood w/ Traffic, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker, Simon & Garfunkel, and my list could go on and on. And I can't leave out Motown and the BLues of BB King, Otis Redding and Bobby BLue Bland etc. The music you are listening to now is because of the influence the above and more. Not only was the music superb, but the lyrics had a social conscience and poetry to them that has yet to be surpassed. It was a profound time in history when politics, society, culture and spirituralism converged and manifested itself with the music of it's time.
But it's cool that you like the music of 2000...you really should listen to some of this other stuff though and expand your horizons...stretch yourself.

Answer 3

I grew up in the 90's and I think that the 60's and 70's made the best music by far. To me, nothing can ever come close to the Stones, Janis Joplin, The Velvet Underground, and all that good stuff. It seems that a lot of people are not musically fitted to the generation they were born in. Oh well. That's why people record music.

Answer 4

A resounding NO. Why? I'll tell you....

60s: Beatles, "British Invasion", socially & politically aware songs, peace, love, the upbeat Motown songs, etc.. The 60s are a HARD act to follow in terms of idealism & overall innovation.

70s: rock fragments into many diff' sub-genres. Disco, 60s idealism is dead. It's all about escapism w/ disco, soft rock (James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, et al) or hard rock (eg: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath etc)

80s: MTV changes everything. For the worst to some. The scene more than ever before is all about image over substance. More & more producer-driven music. "hair metal" dominates airwaves. Hip hop gains mainstream popularity. By end of decade, making a video to get exposed is a must.

90s: After grunge, rock takes a back seat to hip hop, rap & pop. (Spice Girls, boy bands etc) Short shelf life pop tunes dominate.

Now: It's all about producer-driven music more than before. (w/ a HANDful of genuine singer songwriters) Just look at American Idol. Few are making groundbreaking music anymore, so we have to vote for our new music heros on tv.


So which is best? Heh, well by MY standards, I'll take the 60s & 70s, thank you...

Answer 5

No. I lived through the 60's. 70's 80's 90's and the 2000's.

I likes the late 60's, part of the 70's until that disco crap started. The 80's got things going pretty good then break-dancing, rap and hip-hop became entrenched pretty bad almost all through the 90's. Finally in the last 6-7 years rock music has returned and it is Really Great.

Answer 6

Every generation thinks its music is the best. It's natural and definitely biased. The true test of music is will people still be listening to it in 20 years, or 100 years, or 500 years. I can remember when I was a teen and my aunt was comparing the Beatles (who were slightly before my time) to Bach and Beethoven. Suddenly, an instrumental version of a Beatles song came up on her "Easy Listening" station, and I pointed that out to her. The test of time will tell.

Answer 7

IMHO, the golden age of rock was from about 1963 through about 1975. Basically, the British invasion +++. Beatles, Stones, Who, Doors, Led Zep, ELP, Clapton et al, Genesis, Yes, Stewart, Bowie, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Zappa, Deep Purple -- you get the idea.

Answer 8

There has not been any really good music since the early seventies, I do like what you kids call emo, good charlotte, all american rejects and the such. But great music.....its still not returned. close the lights and the door put on pink floyds dark side of the moon and get back to me on music of the 90's

Answer 9

I think alot of the 90s is ok but i was old enuff to realize now that lik ethe 80s it was lame and cheesy. I wonder if the same will be said about 2days music in 10 or 15 yrs?

Answer 10

I can assure you the 90s did not produce the best music. Actually now that I think about it, it is much better than the 2000s.

Try 70s.

Answer 11

You'll find that every decade. A lot of people born late 70's early 80's stilll claim 80's made the best music.
