What you are calling R&B from pre-70s was pretty much just Soul imo.

90s rhythm and Blues was awesome?

The 60s-70s were golden era, how old are you?

The 90s were terrible for music what are you taking?The 80s were the last great era if you ask me

It was those people who broke that traditional boundary and set off a creative revolution who really opened up that artistic freedom for music ever since. How can anyone deny that artists like The Velvet Underground, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors and Led Zeppelin, just to name a few, didnt change things? They certainly did, and their music remains very unique and creative to this day. They continue to inspire and they always will. I dont think many bands will ever be able to match the influence that bands like that had on music.

My parents lived through the sixties as well, and they think that the music was highly revolutionary. The sixties were a wild time and that had its affect on the music.

You weren't even alive in the 60s, stop talking about this revolutionary nonsense as if you lived it

Quit making multiple redundant posts in a row, it's spammy and annoying.

I think it is safe to say the 1950s-1980s were the golden ages of music, is way too obvious at this point now. Most music genre had its heyday that happened before the 90s.

50s-60s Jazz was at its peak and so was country.
60s - early 80s rhythm and blues/soul was at its peak
60s-80s pop music was at its peak.
70s reggae and funk peaked
60s - 70s rock music peaked

The talent pool between the 50s-80s was stacked across many genres.

Music started to decline badly throughout the 1990s and it hasn't recovered since, I feel sad for the youngster's who were born in the 1980s and later because they missed out on the best time for music.

True, there's way more good music these days.

Do you agree or disagree with this?
