Favorite era of music

[JKKDARK]

In my opinion, it was the 80's. Fantastic Hard Rock and Glam Rock bands since late 70's appeared on the mainstream, and influenced a lot of Hard Rock and Glam Metal bands. Most of these rock songs which appeared on the top charts, contained strong guitar solos.
The Pop music was also excellent. Bands and artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna (I only like her 80's songs, she just followed the next trends which I don't like) and A-Ha made really big hits.
Hip Hop music was better, in my opinion. (and I think this era of Hip Hop is called the Golden Age Of Hip Hop, or something). Run DMC did Walk This Way with the Hard Rock band Aerosmith and it was amazing.
Also the music videos were born, with the launch of MTV. Many old people can tell you MTV showed really music until mid 90's (then they later went with $#@! reality shows, Pop Punk and this new Hip Hop). Programs for everyone: Do you wanted a program for Alternative Rock? You had 120 Minutes; You wanted a program for Heavy Metal? You had Headbanger's Ball (Yes the old one, not the actual program): and there was also a Hip Hop program but I don't remember the name. And the other hours full of mainstream videos.

Gotta love 80's music.

Also, the 90's brought some good metal.

I have to say, 00's hasn't brought anything special.

[Shrygue]

70's and 80 music were quite good in my opinion, 90's only just ok and now here in 2000's, not so great at all...

I added a poll with some of the mainstream bands

[Triv1um]

Metallica is 80's not 90's.

Metallica is 80's not 90's.

I'm talking about bands in their best era. Obviously Metallica started in the 80's, but they weren't really popular until the 90's, when they did a change in their sound and made music videos for MTV.

1990 to present long live dnb

The 60's brought almost all the good Rock into existence.There is nobody who is more influential to Hip-Hop than James Brown so the 60's is the root of all Rock and Hip-Hop. Before that the 50's was all racially divided music until elvis closed the gap creating mainstream rock. 60's brought metal with iron butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida",steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild", and the formation of Black Sabbath in 68.

Ah, I see.

After the self titled album (black album) it was crap, and the black album was 1990 I think.

Then it was load and reload (blah) than ST.ANGER! (biggest load of crap ever to hit a cd)

still 80's were the bollox.
