The question is, in relation to your birth year what was the best "era" in popular music? I'm not talking about any specific artists but rather the time when most new artists were good.
My hypothesis is that most people like whatever was popular when they were teens.
This post is inspired by a youtube comment which said that "at least Fred Durst is a proper musican unlike Justin Bieber"

Born in the '80s, love '60s through '80s music equally, it all goes downhill from about 1992.

I'm a '90's kid, and I love '90's music.

Was born in my favorite era of music; early 90s House-influenced music.

In terms of popular music? 20 years prior to 1987 puts me in the 60s/70s. My favorite album of all-time is Pink Floyd's "Animals", which came out in '77.

90s to mid-2000s
Boybands, pop-punk, R&B, and weird subgenres of hip-hop like G-funk, crunk, snap, hyphy, etc. I love hip hop "super producers" with distinguishable "signature" sounds to their beats like Timbaland, The Neptunes, Mannie Fresh, Lil Jon, and Swizz Beatz.

Country Music from the mid 50s to early 70s is my favorite but I also love oldies and 80s music.
I've always been drawn to the old stuff, even when I was a kid. Modern music has never really appealed to me.

Born in 1977 and while I loved Beastie Boys and Run DMC in the 80's,I'm mainly a 90's alternative guy. I voted 16-20 years later but the time frame really runs from about 1990-1998.

Always thought the 70's were the greatest decade for music. (and '77 was the bet year)

So mine is around 60 years before I was born... maybe a shade under 40 as well. Swing and Cool jazz is where it's at for me.

Seriously, it just doesn't get any better than that. I will listen to everyone of those bands religiously until the day I die.

I voted 20+ years before. My favorite era would be like 51-61. You have old school R&B, classic country, rock and roll, etc.
1967 is the year the most eccentrically good albums came out though and deserves special recognition.

0 to 5 years after I was born... the mid to late 80s, with the rise of college radio alternative rock (R.E.M.), great post hardcore punk (Big Black), and the period of great EBM and electro industrial (Skinny Puppy, Nitzer Ebb), also the rise of acid house (808 State), and the birth of modern IDM/glitch (Aphex Twin).

Looks I was kinda wrong then. But hey. Nobody likes the new music once they've reached 20 I think it's just this generation, previous generations did not live in a world where every radio station was owned by the same company with DJs who were told exactly what to play because that's what the station was paid to play by the record labels. There are great musicians out there and there always will be, but as far as I'm concerned, unless it changes in a big way in the coming years the record business as we know it is over. It's being run by people who don't know or care about music, it's all the kids of the people who did give a s*** who have now inherited those jobs from their parents and they just see it as a crunch-the-numbers cut quality while raising revenue business like anything else. Long story short, it's not just that every generation hates the pop music of their time; in fact, I don't know that ANY previous generation predominately hated their own pop music. The idea that there's always been an equal good to bad ratio is a common, convenient myth but it doesn't fit the facts. The industry is being badly mismanaged. |

Born in 1974, the new wave was just about to bloom.
