Rock Action Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 OK, heeeeeere I go! 90's- Alice In Chains- Dirt, Facelift, Sap, Jar Of Flies, self titled. ALL are excellent. Pearl Jam- Ten Temple Of The Dog Soundgarden- Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Down On The Upside Mother Love Bone Screaming Trees- all of them Mark Lanegan- The Winding Sheet, Whiskey For The Holy Ghost, Scraps At Midnight Jerry Cantrell- Boggy Depot, Degradation Trip 1&2 Page/Plant- No Quarter, Walking Into Clarksdale. Live- Throwing Copper Stone Temple Pilots- Core, Purple, Tiny Music The Cult- Ceremony U2- Achtung Baby Rolling Stones- Voodoo Lounge (the only post-1976 Stones album worth a shit in my opinion) The Black Crowes- Sho' 'Nuff (box set with their first 4 studio albums plus a live EP) Robert Plant- Fate Of Nations '00's- Led Zeppelin- How The West Was Won Mark Lanegan Band- Bubblegum Pearl Jam (self titled) The Stooges- The Weirdness Robert Plant- Mighty Rearranger The Cult- Born Into This So far, this decade isn't what the 90's were by any stretch. But there's still time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 There is much more crap in the 90s than the 70s and there is plenty more genius in the 70s than in the 90s. So I am going to write off the 90s and not blink in doing so. The 90's suck as far as music writing compared to the 70s. Hear that Jahfin!!! come on-bring on the insults. Im ready for my next verbal spanking. ps the 90s do not exist. there was no music ever released in this decade. All of the real music was made from the 50s to the 80s. Oh, sorry Beethoven, I must include the Reainessance (sorry if I mis-spelled it but you Im not kidding-it was great stuff and deserves recognition, unlike the 90s I don't recall bringing on any insults, what I have done is offer up my own opinion (huge difference). Like I've said, I don't think of any one decade as being musically superior to another, every one has had it's outstanding works as well as stuff well worth passing over. To write off an entire decade of music strikes me more as ignorance than anything else. I'm just glad I don't share those views and am much more open minded about music. Everything doesn't have to be a retread of the 60s and 70s for me to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattmc1973 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Do you like these or not? I like the Erik Carmen song All By Myself. I also like Alone again Naturally by Gilbert O Sullivan. how did you put this list together so fast? Googled "worst songs of the 70's" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Personally, most of the bands I like are from the 80s and 90s. I really do not see what is so superior about the 60s and 70s. Do people think some magical wizard waved his wand and music started to suck? That's the most ridiculous bullshit I've heard in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcrock Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Jimmy Put down his violin bow and it started to suck. I didnt mention the 80s, just the 90s. And I never said the 60s were great except the Beatles and Stones happened to start then. Actually so did Zepp but I would consider them 70s. I do believe the 70s were exceptional and will stand behind my statement that the 70s put the 90s to shame. go ahead and stand behind it, you're entitled..i disagree strongly personally I think the 70's sucked with the exception of our beloved Zeppelin and a handful of some other really good music this was the age of disco afterall, and the only reason that crap had any traction whatsoever is because the music scene was pretty stagnant (relatively speaking of course...I mean you can always pick out a few bands out of the period that were great) but that's just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I know I'm gonna catch flak for this, but.. The 70's were the shittiest decade for music ever. Look at the above list. Not to mention all the "classic rock" pretenders, has-beens and never-will-be's. Every time someone turns on a "classic rock" station I wanna puke. There was only a handful of good bands then. And most of them started in the 60's. Zep (1968), Stones (1962!), Free (1968)....well, you get it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Jahfin Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm as burnt out on Classic Rock radio as anyone else but that's not because of the aritsts themselves but by the heavy rotation of the same songs by the same artists over and over again. Thankfully channels like Deep Tracks on XM help remedy that. As I've mentioned countless times by now I've found many great artists in each decade, the following is just a small sampling of favorites off the top of my head: Pre-50s Howlin' Wolf Robert Johnson Elmore James Lightnin' Hopkins "Old Time" music that served as the precursor to bluegrass, country, rockabilly, folks, blues, etc. Big Band music (not a lot of it but definitely some of it, a lot of early rock n' roll can be traced directly back to the Big Band sound, just ask drummers like Neil Peart) 50s Elvis Johnny Cash Carl Perkins Roy Orbison Patsy Cline Jerry Lee Lewis 60s Grateful Dead Beatles Desmond Dekker and the Aces The Who Led Zeppelin Toots and the Maytals Rolling Stones Yardbirds The Allman Brothers Band Bob Marley 70s Foghat Gram Parsons/Flying Burrito Brothers Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen Alice Cooper Peter Tosh Mother's Finest Jimmy Buffett Mighty Diamonds John Prine The Itals Guy Clark Townes Van Zandt Lynyrd Skynyrd Steve Goodman Leon Russell Little Feat 80s U2 Steve Earle R.E.M. Lone Justice The Replacements The Cure 10,000 Maniacs Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble 90s Nada Surf Pearl Jam Todd Snider The Gourds Uncle Tupelo Drive-By Truckers Slobberbone Backsliders Whiskeytown Old 97s Frog Holler Trailer Bride Minus Five 00s Tres Chicas Ryan Adams and the Cardinals Tift Merritt Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit Kasey Chambers Patty Hurst Shifter Kathleen Edwards Chatham County Line The Tripwires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Six of one, half dozen of the other. Both crap. Can't say I was ever much on disco but I'm not so quick to dismiss rap. I'm not a fan of it either but I consider it a perfectly valid form of music (a topic of discussion that's been well gone over many, many times on this board in the past).

I'm not a fan of it either but I consider it a perfectly valid form of music (a topic of discussion that's been well gone over many, many times on this board in the past). Well, the reason different kinds of music exist is simply because we all hear and appreciate things differently. Otherwise there would be simply Zep and nothing else.. What cracks me up is watching people get into fights, cuss each other out and so on, about MUSIC. Which is a completely subjective subject! It makes no sense. When I say "disco sucks", obviously I'm simply stating my opinion, how it sounds to MY ears. Which in that case, is like shit. With that said, I spent YEARS listening to precious little else besides Zep and Stones. Now I try to keep an open mind, which has expanded my CD collection and shrank my wallet all in one motion. For instance, I'm listening to Mark Lanegan right now. Tasty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that may simply be because you're a bit younger than I, or were simply exposed to that era more. Or both. But in any case, we're all entitled to our personal tastes without unfair criticism. 80's bands that I like? Here's some. U2 The Cult (and their predecessors, Southern Death Cult (1981-1982) and Death Cult (1983) The Alarm Aw crap...see, told ya! I'm sure there's more though.

Rock Action Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 What the hell is Doll Meat ? But seriously, you don't know any of the bands I listed ? Most are easily recognizable...I think...only a couple are even 'semi-obscure'.... That only touches on the ones I could recall instantly btw....I have to dig up the 2000s..but for me, it's not as extensive as my 90s was...not yet anyway... For me..I do have a favorite decade 60s rule !!! Ahh..someone who can appreciate the 60's AND 90's. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hmmmm. Dont know these bands and dont see Avril Lavigne. Prefer Doll Meat to 90s "music". the 70's rule!!!!!

Emmylou Harris was also quite a hottie back in the day, as well as talented. Not my musical genre, but I appreciate genuine talent (and hottie-ness) regardless.
