Are there any eras that you dont regard as having good music or you dont recall any good music coming from those periods of time?

I tend to skip over the 1970s entirely. I think the best time periods for music were the late 60s / early 80s / early to mid 90s. The decade that we are in has been pretty hit and miss since it started.

the 70s? really?

bowie? dylan? zeppelin? joy division? nick drake? the who? velvet underground? the beatles? pink floyd? talking heads? marvin gayes? elvis costello? JUST TO NAME A FEW!

complete insanity!

I like The Talking Heads 80s output (Remain In Light, Speaking In Tongues ). I dont really care much for their 70s material.

I probably spend too much time in the 70s

don't have much from the mid-to-late-80s though

Wow you really need to learn what years music was released.

nah, pitchfork told me.

nah, pitchfork told me.

The Beatles and VU both broke up in 1970, and how anyone would classify Dylan as a 70's artist is beyond me.

blood on the tracks duhhhhhhh WOW are you ignorant WOW you really got some splainin to do WOW

Let It Be is the final original album released by The Beatles. It was released on 8 May 1970 by the band's own Apple Records label, shortly after the group's announced breakup

The Velvet Underground
Loaded (1970)

Bob Dylan
Blood on the Tracks (1975)

Wow yep your right The Beatles totally were a part of the 70's era.

I highly recommend you stop digging your hole right now.

ok.

I love the 90's band The Beatles because they recorded 2 songs and slapped some Lennon vocals on them, man what an awesome 90's band.

wow Rider is pretty dumb in this thread, huh?

If by dumb you mean schooling waltermcphilp, then yes.

But on the other hand, he was sniping in the first place, so yeah, you're right. I tend to think of bowie, zeppelin, nick drake, the who, pink floyd, and marvin gaye, a large portion of the list, as artists of the 70s, meaning their most familiar, popular, and/or highest quality work was released during that decade.

skipping an era is kind of bullshit imho, every era has it's good stuff.

I think i don't have too much 80ies records, but then again, Sonic Youth, Dino jr, lots of c86 stuff, some pink floyd, metallica etc etc.

^^ lol this guy likes post-the wall pink floyd stuff

i'm afraid that my opinion on the final cut is that it is enjoyable.... everything after that sucks though.

There is good stuff from any era or genre. The fun is trying to find it. Limiting yourself like that is retarded.

i like skipping over all of them at least once.

i have barely any 60s stuff besides dylan/beatles/doors/jefferson airplane..i think..
i've concentrated on late 70s-early 90s probably too much, but it's just what i seem to relate to the most.

i hitch my wagon to this star.

Edit: excluding country/western music from every decade.

im going to skip the current era, starting right now.

country music > zeitgeist.

im not a big fan of the 80s, but im sure there was quality music made there that i just havent listened to.

theres always good music being made

country music > zeitgeist.

you have severe mental retardation if you actually believe that. any rock is better than country...even fucking blink 182.


hopefully you're just a douche and trying to get a rise out of me, otherwise i'm ready to donate money so you can get brain surgery.

i have very little 60's. some beatles, kinks, van morrison, vu, pretty things, simon & garfunkle, nick drake... someone recommend me some, please.

frank zappa - freak out.

cool

I dont have a lot of 60s either. Mostly just Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and the Doors. I gave the Beatles a try and didnt really like what I heard.

Lies.

Johnny Cash

Lies.

Johnny Cash

fuck Johnny Cash.

fuck Johnny Cash.

i will hit you.

i see Cash more as rockabilly....but i suppose you can make the country argument too. this is why i hate categories/labels....because i'm sure ppl can put the dreaded country label on elvis or dylan too. fuck that.




but you know what, Ween makes a damn good country album...so maybe there is hope for that genre for me. :D

i don't think anyone will ever classify elvis or dylan as country

i don't really skip any eras (well, pre-60s), but i do tend to have certain "genre"s i prefer and some i avoid. i listen to only a little electronica and even less hip-hop (altho when in the mood i will listen to it and even some pop/rnb). robert christgau would be upset.

nashville skyline comes pretty damn close

i skip over music from the 1600's. as far as Cash goes his early stuff was pretty rockin' but he put out way more country albums in the mid-to-late 60s and 70s.

damn, forgot VU.
i also forgot that for the fact that i'm living in them right now i've pretty much skipped this decade. either there's nothing i really like going on or i'm just missing it. i've dl'd most of the stuff uploaded/mentioned on this board and others, the vast maj. of it just does little for me.

i don't understand ppl who hate country outright, though i have neglected it too much myself. my mom listened to country radio incessantly in the 90s so that's part of the reason. but there definitely are good songs/artists in the genre. i'd say i probably like country about as much as i like blues

oh and since someone mentioned him..christgau is a twat

I skip over most of the 80's and most of the current decade, if we're talking about a "what era of radio stations do you have programmed" idea

pbe always speaks the truth

First half of the 70's (except for some prog rock), second half of the 80's mostly for it's stadium rock stuff and for which many many good bands degenerated into, but I still listen a lot to the output of my favorite bands on that era. Now more recently, the second half of the 90's when rock gone dumb again, and still waiting for something back to my tastes.
I'm more of a post-punk kind of guy, for red lorry, chameleons, etc, and the recent new york rock interpol, editors, colder, she wants revenge and alikes just didn't do it for me for the moment they started being a parody of themselves forcing every cliché from the older bands.

50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's.

i hardly listen to anything before the 20th century, the decades before the 60s only very sporadically

from there it's pretty even, with a bit of emphasis on 80s and 00s i guess

i have a gap in my extensive zydeco collection from about 1981 to 1987.

This ranks as one of the most absurd things I have read on this board.

I skip over most 10,000BC to the 1950's stuff.. although anything before those dates is pretty old skool.

most of 80's hair metal rock and all of today's any-kind-of-rock suck ass through a straw.

With a few exceptions, I posted a few in another thread but I can't be assed because they go without saying and I'm tired.
