Worst decade for Music

[Aquarius1234]

What do you think was the worst decade if you had to choose ...
It's hard I'll go 90s bit mainly early 90s

@toocooltobeafool but that's the same for every generation. I was a teen in the 90s and had friends who only listened to music from the 70s who didn't like the current music of the day.

@toocooltobeafool obviously when I say 'the teens of today' I meant the majority who enjoy the music of today, like all generations there will be outliers.

I get this from my daughter, she's a budding musician and really wishes sometimes she'd been born in the early 80s - both for the music and the general freedoms kids had.

The last decade has been crap.
My own teenager complains about the shite music on commercial radio and loves 80s electronic and 90s grunge.

I'd say the 10's but I think the 20s has been amazing for pop (TS, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, Charli XcX) !Loved 80's 90's and 00s for so many different reasons!

I wonder if it's more so now, though. When I was a teen, i loved the music that my DM played at home (60s). But at the same time there were more limited places to hear music so if you listened to the radio at all or watched TOTP / the Word etc you'd get exposed to the latest stuff be it pop / grunge / Britpop etc. Nowadays there are so many different platforms to find and listen to music. My DCs hardly ever listen to the radio. They have access to thousands upon thousands of tracks on Spotify but nothing really like a "top 40" that we had.
My DS will openly say that his music tastes stem from what me and his DF like so what he used to listen to on long journeys in the car, what we play at home.
I'm not sure if I'm making sense but I know what I mean!

depends whether you mean what is in the charts, or general music.

the EDM scene is brilliant at the moment, far better than it ever used to be. Hardly any of it makes the charts though

The last 15 years, apart from Taylor Swift - 1989

1950s for me.

Radio 2 have always played older music, so when I was little in the 70s they played 20 year old tracks which were bloody awful and twee.

20 year old music from the 80s onwards seemed to have (and still has) a more enduring appeal.

Not keen on the 50s or 90s. Before anyone criticises me for saying the 90s, it's a matter of personal taste and none of the bands who were big in the 90s were my taste in music.

But 90s rap, R&B, and rock were iconic - you're just thinking pop surely (as that was kind of bad)?

I think music has gone downhill as it seems to be a game of quantity over quality with artists constantly releasing music so they don't become irrelevant (in this new era of short-lived trends and attention spans)

Sorry but I hate rap and all the Oasis type stuff did nothing for me.

"Singers" nowadays seem to just churn out a conveyor belt of hits. No substance to any of it. Even my kids prefer music from the past to current stuff

Now

80s hands down. Also every generation since then enjoy the music from that decade.
One of my happiest most memorable days with my adult children was going to Stanmer Park in Brighton and watching Nile Rodgers and Chic live . Absolute talent ,and such a fabulous time with my kids .

My current fave is Jack in the Box, by Grisly Habit. It's on Spotify.

We saw them at Rochester Castle.

Is there no one Nile hasn't collaborated with?

He dropped more names than Sir Tom.

DS17 who has an uncanny ear for lyrics can do Gangsters Rap in entirety!

He sings 80's in the shower.

I’m sorry, WHAT???

I’ve always said, what the 80s did to fashion, they made up for in music!

90s definitely
Awful stuff.

Try NGHFB! Amazing!

Fortunately Pulp are back to improve this decade’s music ( album coming out in June)
