I haven't posted here in a while, but, um, hello. My favourite era of music is probably the 80's (which I'm going to define as 1976 - 1992, as that's when the "sound" of the 1980's began, and ended). However, I too think it's wrong to list only the popular bands of today, and only the good ones of yesterday. No, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, The Ramones, The Cure, The Smiths, The Pixies, and Depeche Mode were not popular! They all had relative pop hits, and dedicated cult followings, but they were never "popular" (and the same could be said for a lot of other bands you might not think of as "mainstream", like, for instance, At The Drive-In, or more recently, the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs). As for the 1960's - 1990's bands you listed, there were also artists of equal quality (or lack of quality) to Britney Spears, and The Backstreet Boys, and today there are relatively popular bands of equal quality to New-Order, and Nirvana (perhaps a little band known as Radiohead might ring a bell?). Moreover, you ignored the 1950s, 1940s, 1930s, and 1920s. Ignoring the years before that makes some sense to me, but music as we now it today really began in the 1920s and 1930's, and more directly, in the 1940s and 1950s. Yet, those years are completely missing, which I feel is just, well, stupid. Anywho, I'm bitching again, so I'll stop now. Sorry. And, um, yeah, bye. 1980's forever! Or something. |

I'd have to go with 80's thrash (Metallica, Megadeth), and the more recent stuff that isn't necessarily on the list (Dashboard, Coldplay, etc.) _________________ I think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will give a new perspective. |

I'd have to go with both the 70s and 1990-1997 UK _________________ An apt and true reply was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized.

baroque chamber music... its divine. this poll kinda annoys me because music has a history that is 1000s of years old, but we were only allowed to vote for a handful of movements from the 20th century. lovealways, kyle _________________ "Daddy please hear this song that I sing In your heart there's a spark that just screams For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep And love all you have left like your boy used to be Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet" --neutral milk hotel |

Well, it doesn't mean the vote options are every music movement...it's just the ones that the author of the poll chose...maybe because they are the most contemporanous ones... _________________ An apt and true reply was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized.

i think the best times for American radio were the 60's and then the 90's grunge era........it's still hard for me to believe that the same station that played Madonna and Boyz II Men would play Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Stone Temple Pilots........that's just insane to think about anything remotely like that happening now ( and no i don't mean those bands in particular, but those 'types' of bands) _________________ I am Torgo.
