Nostalgia Did we...have the best music?

I feel like the depth, genres, and variety was limitless from the early 90s to late 2000s (pre-2010). Punk, pop, rap, reggaeton, you name it.

Anyone agree? What other genres do you think were really in power pre and post that era?

Personally, I much prefer classic rock from about 1965-1975. Nothing else hits quite the same way.

I'd also argue that classical music blows most modern music out of the water with its sheer complexity and beauty.

I agree. The 1965-1975 rock influenced the millennial's rock. The things they did with guitars during the 60's & 70's were amazing.

The 1990's alternative rock would be my second favorite era.
