Nothing even approaches the same galaxy as the 1990s. In a distant second is the early 1970s (pre-disco).

Music exploded into dozen of directions in the 70s.
Especially after punk...at CBGBs.

The 1700s and 1800s of course ... when music was at its peak.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

I say the 90's. I have a love of 80's too. Truth is can find good songs from quite a few decades but 90's music is my favorite.

I'd say now, you have more music than ever. Whatever was available back then is also available now + more.
If you mean what's being played in the radio, then that's a different question is it not?

Depends on the music. But i find video game music superior to the most generic crap they trow out now.

I'd say now? Unless you're just talking the quality of the top 40 pop songs or whatever.
We have all the music that came before, cheaply and easily available to find and listen too. We have more variety than ever. Underground scenes are more accessible than ever. No genre is truly dead, you can find artists still making pretty much anything you want to listen to. You've also got decades worth of foreign music at your fingertips.

We have amazing music nowadays but it comes mostly from videogames and movie OSTs, Two Steps From Hell, Hans Zimmer, etc.
But other than that, 70s and early 2000s had some great stuff but nothing beats the 80s and 90s.

It's hard to say anything but right now. It's just that the good music gets buried by mainstream nowdays. I'd say popular genres as a whole were best during 80s and early 90s. But again don't listen to mainstream and you are far better off.

Current music is just bland, especially the weird mish-mash of rap and techno that is rampant nowadays. You just talk in a microphone and then post-production does its magic, sometimes there are not even rhymes. My mind cannot register it as music, no matter how hard I try.
Nowwww the early 2000, or until 2010+ even, I love to bits. The club songs are so fucking powerful and motivating. They remind me of crazy times where you just wanted to have fun. I might be biased because it's the music of my generation, but there's that.
Also I appreciate some of the songs released today, too. My list from best to worst would be
2000/2010 >> today > > > > > > pre-2000

I would say today. Over time we have development more and more genres and different sounds while rarely having things disappear completely. Almost always someone who plays whatever genre you enjoy, might be difficult to find at times however. There is music basically for everyone and as time goes on even more music styles will develop which broadens the amount even more.

Agreed. I'm mostly into OST myself. Pop music was never my thing. Originally Posted by Xlightning
