There's a ton of great music that's come out in the past few years even, you just won't hear it on the radio.

Who listens to 30s music? Even most 2179s music, no one listens to it

Classic music sucks major balls and modern sucks major balls

I love 5 seconds of summer and one direction and Jacob Sartorius they're [b][u][i]SO[/i][/u][/b] much better than crappy 60s-90s[spoiler]the sarcasm is real scrbz[/spoiler]

60-90 69 I see wut u did there

The thing is when you turn on a classic radio station your getting the best music of that era but if you turn on songs that are popular right now you get the best songs of that month

I personally believe that the 80's and 90's were the most important decades of music in history. But I feel we're on the cusp of the next great musical explosion. The past 16 years has been stagnated mostly by the mainstream music industry. The business model has become so fine-tuned that music is being released to the public based on market projections and profit margins. Fewer and fewer chances are being taken. They've found what works.. what sells.. and they've crammed it down our throats in as many forms as they can convince us to purchase. But that's just as much the fault of the consumers who flock to iTunes to scoop up the newest Beyonce album the moment it drops. If the consumer base really wanted creativity and originality, the music industry would be forced to seek that out. It's not like all the creativity left music completely, there's loads of top-notch musicians out there. You're just never going to hear them unless you do some digging yourself. But now we enter the internet age. We're already seeing the influence Soundcloud and Youtube is having on the industry. One of the biggest names in Hip-hop right now was a self-promoted Soundcloud success. People don't need record labels the way they once did to get their names out there. And people have easier access to a wider variety of music than ever before. So I feel that within the next decade, how we find and purchase music is going to drastically change. As record labels begin to have less and less control over the market, I think we as consumers will once again begin to see the really great musical artists come to the limelight and become the influences they once were. And I for one, am pretty excited about that.

How old are you?

Seems like you need to broaden your horizons.

And here we see an exhibit of the Internet scene kid outside his natural habitat of Pink Floyd/Nirvana YouTube comments. The legends told of a time when 14 year olds didn't have a dissonance towards modern music based solely on the controversy of 3 bad songs. It's a pretty tough call for me, but based off the strength of the Australian music scene alone in the past 4 years, let alone the last 16 worldwide, I'd take the modern era.

80's Pop music... Phenomenal. Guns n' Roses and Metallica, even better.

60s-70s only for me. 80s-90s is just as bad as all the modern crap.
