Curious, my dad and I both agree the music (most genres) from the 60s/70s/80s/early90s is better than the music of the late90s/00s....



What are your thoughts? Why?

it's automatic.

It depends on the music. Some music is timeless.

Generally speaking though, I tend to agree with you.

I dont listen to much music of the olden days, but anything is way better than whats on the radio today. The music from 99-02 blows it away.

Hows about this - the "mainstream, rock, pop, and folk music" is better than todays "mainstream, rock, pop, and folk music"...


I do agree that there is some music that is truly timeless, but going beyond that, music from years past is better than what we get today.

Totally depends what you listen to. Technical metal didn't even exist in the 60's really, nor did anything but basic synths. Sure, there were people who "paved the way" so to speak but since then, it has been taken to a whole different level far and beyond the scope of back then. We can create sounds that are completely unreproducible on any sort of instrument.

Thats why I clarified... Mainstream, rock, pop, and folk did exist in the periods that I posted.

You over looked the big band era

It did exist though, just ion infancy and in different forms. Its really just comparing apples to oranges. Mainstream rock, pop, and folk have all spawned and intersected and done all sorts of things with funk, soul, synths, rap, you name it. Mainstream is and always has been "feel good" music for the most part.

All new Mercedes suck...

There is some pretty good music these days, e.g. "Alabama Shakes" is awesome. However, it's definitely a throw back.

Frankly, some of that baroque stuff is grating on the ear . . .

Still trying to figure how Neil Diamond got invited . . .

From the Wiki:

Neil Diamond was next, introducing his "Dry Your Eyes" by saying, "I'm only gonna do one song, but I'm gonna do it good." Robertson had also produced Diamond's album Beautiful Noise the same year and co-wrote "Dry Your Eyes," which during the concert he hailed as a "great song." In his autobiography, Levon Helm was critical of the inclusion of Diamond, not discerning any musical connection to The Band. Reportedly, when Diamond came off stage he remarked to Dylan, "Follow that," to which Dylan responded, "What do I have to do, go on stage and fall asleep?"

Ohh Bobby...
