What were the best years for music?

[Mellow]

the time period with the best pop, r&b , rap or just good artist.

Me personally I like pretty much all music from 2005/6-2012 with 2008-2010 being the best

Most 90s and 80s music isn't that good to me and its lame. With some exceptions.
And I'm young and I hate most these new rappers and bands. And some of the older guys just stopped making songs U_U

 

[SMX]

before you were born once you were born all good music left. lol jk

OT: idk

 

[Gerkak]

80's, 90's and 2000-2008 music were the best. With the exception of a few, most music now a days are just garbage IMO.

2006-2010.
2012 sucked really bad. (LMFAO)
Waiting to decide if 2014 was good

 

[The Necromancer]

That answer is completely subjective.

I could tell you the 1700's were the best years of music.

I kinda stopped listening to american music cause its the same shit but with different words.
***
Money
Drugs
Bashing how good their lives are
Lust.
I listen to spanish music, it has kept its essence almost intact and its just well rounded. Its lyrics are ecstasy.

[Meee]

1990 - 2003

 

[Hexuze]

Early 2000's, mainly because of nostalgia. 2010 was pretty good.

 

[Demonic.]

I have a friend that likes the oldies. I want to kill myself when I'm in a car with him and he's blasting that horrible crap. U_U

 

[SasukeTheEmo]

Easily the 80s to early 90s.
All the best metal, punk/hardcore and hip-hop from that timeframe.

 

[Netferarri]

Yeah, the 80s and 90s were good days for music. Especially metal/rock and hip hop. You're missing out OP.

 

[Xlad]

Lol at this guy.

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

I liked the 90's and late 60's-mid 70's.

 

[RicardoA]

I'd say the 80's and the 90's had the best music. It was a great combination of divas, rock bands and hip-hop artists.
The 00's were fine as well (mostly the first 3/4) but with very noticeable changes though. The 10's are by far the worst years the music industry has ever seen (as far as quality, decency and dignity goes of course).

 

[BlacLord™]

That answer is completely subjective.

I could tell you the 1700's were the best years of music.

Well, two of my favourite classical composers are from the 1700s so...

OT: There is no best time, music isn't bounded by time, genre or location. It's a universal art that transcends such things and as such, many artists and songs that have left a great impression are scattered throughout the ages, and the world.
