No, but more than just a few of those are horrible.

I just don't see a decade as good or bad bands, but as movements. Through out the 60s, 70s and the 80s ... you had the movements, the evolution. In the 90s and 00s, they were more of static years.

*That's in my opinion, i know there were a lot of genres, sub-genres in these 2 decades. But I just can't see the evolution as big as the 3 decades mentioned at the beginning.

Yeah... I think I might be the only person on here that likes Beck. And I'm not a big fan of all of them (Smashing Pumpkins, Cake, Radiohead, and Built To Spill) but I like the rest so screw you :P I was just pointing out that calling an entire decade of music corny is ridiculous. If anything I would expect it to be the 80s, because a lot of people associate the 80s with corny hair metal and Flock of Seagulls type bands. Not at all what it was, but that's what seemed to be most popular.

the only person who likes Beck? Really?

I think we've figured out whats going on around here. You don't know the posters here.

Yeah man there are more than a few Beck fans here. Sweet_nothing has him has his avatar, come on now.

But back on topic, the 00's are ironically one of the decades I own the most music from, but one of the decades I least like. But they've still had some great stuff.

Which of these were radio hits again? I mean, lets be fair if we are going to label radio hits from the 90's. (ACTUAL radio hits, not alternative radio hits)
Backstreet Boys, Michael Bolton, Boyzone, Cher, Late Phil Collins, Celine fucking Dion, HANSON, Jewel, Madonna, RICKY FUCKING MARTIN, George Michael, Shania Twain, Paula Abdul, Aqua, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, NSYNC, Spice Girls, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Blink 182, Bon Jovi, Counting Crows, Def Leppard, Foo Fighters, late Genesis, Hootie & the Blowfish, Lenny Kravitz, Matchbox 20, Meat Loaf, Offspring, Tom Petty etc etc etc. All of a sudden looks like a pretty lousy decade to me.

PS - Not having a go at you, just using your post to demonstrate my point.

I mean, doesn't this happen every decade? Disco was the popular music of the 70's, and its hardly looked on favourably. Sure, there were a lot of bands that we're mainstream hits, but in the same regard its not like these bands were actually all popular in their day. 80's, embarrassing synth-pop stuff that is only listened to nowadays for laughs and glam metal. 90's, contemporary RnB that didn't deserve to be called RnB, the mainstreaming of Hip Hop/Rap, a lot of which was uninspiring, Nu-Metal (The less said the better). The 2000s have the same sort of crap with the occasional album that games mainstream popularity that eventually comes to define a decade (Sometimes for better sometimes for worse).

A lot of revisionist history comes about when it comes to music. Unless you've lived it, chances are you have no idea what it was actually like.

For what its worth, this decade has most definitely been my favourite. I personally have only been into music for maybe 2 years, yet I harbour no false ideas about what previous decades were like. They have their great bands, they have their **** bands, they have their good movements, and they have their bad ones.

Funny time for the thread to pop up though, given I planned to start a thread devoted to the 2000's this evening.
