90s was pretty bad. The pop was often awful or cheap, the rock could be just dirge-like.
But to say the 70s was without soul or emotion makes no sense. Disco came from soul music and had some great grooves during the 70s. Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder did stuff. And in another area like the singer-songwriter there was direct and affecting emotion. Many of the best ballads are from the 70s.

Mainstream rock yes, underground rock no. Also Nirvana released their best album in 1989.

I'd take The Replacements and R.E.M over Nirvana or Soundgarden any day.

Though I will make an exception for "MTV Unplugged in New York".

Unplugged was great. Don't get me wrong I like Nirvana. Soundgarden I could care less about.

The 90s were only bad in some genres maybe but as far as R&B, Hip Hop and grunge it was pretty damn good imo.

i was lucky to live in DC in the early 90s cause there was a great station called WHFS that played alot of stuff nobody else would like the judybats, swervedriver, the boo radleys, the posies, frente, the connells, the milltown brothers, the soup dragons etc.
the early 90s was a golden age

Milltown Brothers are ok. Golden age I think is going a bit far, but it was probably better than the rest of the 90s. The 80s was stronger as at least the whole first half was decent.
