i'm pretty sure this conversation happened the same way in previous decades. people would moan and wheedle about music not being nearly as good as it once was and how the newest generation was just a commercial shitfest. look at the garbage that sold well during the seventies -- Bee Gees, Bette Midler, Billy Joel...for fuck's sake, it's always sucked.

personally i feel in ten years time, cult favorites will emerge from the underground, in much the same way as the early indie artists did following Nirvana's blowup. and then people will be bitching and whining about how terrible the '10s are.

Anyways, pop or not, I'll take the 70s list over the 00 one any day I don't agree that pop was always ****. I think much of it has been rather brilliant. For example there was a time when even the classic prog bands like Yes and Genesis brushed mainstream fame.

Yeah, pretty much agreed.
I like rock like Led Zepp, Pink Floyd, Rush, Queen, early U2, Hendirx, etc and not a big fan of today's electronica. I tried Radiohead and Muse and didn't like them much. I will check out that thread though, thanks.

that's exactly what i'm saying. the quality of popular music bears little relevance to how a decade actually performs, and it takes a few years for the truly influential artists to emerge from the barrel.

hell, look what my favorite decade had to offer:

Quote:
Human - Human League
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
Patti LaBelle with Michael McDonald
What's Love Got To Do With It - Tina Turner
Every Breath You Take - Police
The Rose - Bette Midler
Maneater - Hall & Oates
Theme from Endless Love - Lionel Richie & Diana Ross
Kiss On My List - Hall & Oates
I Can't Tell You Why - Eagles

I got laid for the first time in the 00's (if thats what we're calling them) so I'm going to remember them like a mother****er, but thats just me.

Edit: I disagreee with Tore's assesment based on the cahrts he posted. Sorry brother but the 70's looks god awful.
