Who else agrees that the Best music was from the 80s to the 2000s.

The hit songs from then are the ones that endured. Of course there were shit songs as well, but the difference between then and now is that today’s hit songs are trash. The non-hit songs are even more trash.

Even my old ass parents who were teenagers in the 60’s and saw that decade, the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s etc said the 80’s had the best music. The hit songs from the 2000’s are also the ones that endure, but more of them are trash than the 80’s had. The Real Slim Shady is fucking iconic, but it’s still a trash song, I don’t care what anyone says. It’s a song for dumbass wiggers from the suburbs

Keep in mind, I don’t listen to top 40, pop, billboard, mainstream music

and a lot of the shit from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s that is still popular Today, wasn’t really that popular back in their time.

Like for fucks sake, Metallica has sold like 50 more times the album Master Of Puppets in the last 20 years than it sold during the 80’s and 90’s

Simple.
In the 80’s to 2000’s music was made to please.
Now it’s made to sell.

I think past the 70’s is always been made to sell.

Difference I think is that in the past it was more like “how can I sell this?” vs now which is “what from all this I can sell easier?”

Today most record labels will not sign any unestablished artist, so they invest the least. Back then they will hunt and recruit artists with potential to be developed. Which included not only talent, but also charisma and image.

Depends on how popular the music is - you can bet your ass that if you’ve ever heard of them before, they’re gonna be shit. The good stuff takes a lot of finding. I would reccomend Blues Saraceno, Poor Man’s Poison, Kongos, and Saint Motel - that stuff’s good.

Agree. All the things I love besides metal music, are 80’s early 90’s variety… Pearl Jam, U2, The Outfield, Green Day, The Cranberries, Van Halen etc etc.
