When do you think music was at its best

There is good music in all time periods, you just have to turn off the radio and tv in order to find it. Shitty Justin Bieber type "manufactured" bands existed every decade, in the 70's they had The Sex Pistols cashing in on stupid people who thought they were the real deal. While you've got a great band like The Cows going bankrupt because the mainstream shithill fuckface bands are taking up the air time.

Most of my favourite stuff existed between decades 85-95.

There is good and bad music throughout all history.

Music is at its best when it makes you feel. Good music is timeless.

Viennese Classic period, say about 1770. Not much of our current music will still be listened to in 250 years time.

Between 40s and 80s.

It's impossible to choose and era. There was, and is, good and awful music in every era. It's unfair to judge to be honest.
This question has been asked soooo many times too.

February 1978.

My mother's heartbeat.

There's good music in every decade- only the good stuff gets remembered. I'm partial to sixties stuff, but music is timeless.

90's:)... No, actually it's more like the 17th century when Mozart and Beethoven are still around:D

I've never understood this debate. Why does it matter when music was created? Unless the music only makes sense in the light of a certain social context (which, I would argue, almost all good music doesn't) it doesn't matter. It's always an interesting discussion, but I've never understood the point of it.

I don't know my answer. It keeps changing, but I think it tends to move further into the past as I become more open-minded and I'm finding it more difficult to limit myself to one style of music.

All the time.

Led zeppelin beatles and pink floyd

Before 2000

Frankly, late 19th Century-early 20th for classical, 1930's-40's for Jazz.

70's for sure.

It gets better and better

Pop music has gotten worse and worse since The Beatles, but that's just because the music industry has grown a lot. If you dig deep you can find outstanding music even today. And nowadays music is more diverse.

80s and 90s were good but there were some excellent songs in the 60s and 70s as well! The music of today is awful.

when the beetles where still around. R.I.P. the beetles

Its hard for me to decide. But anything but now. I really like 60/70's music. But the 80's and 90's had some good music too. And I only like a handful of todays music.

Late 70s to mid 80s when there was the rise of the female punk and rock artists. I'm talking The runaways, Joan Jett, Bikini kill etc. Today's music sucks most of it anyway like for example One direction they are classified as a band, bands plays instruments they don't therefore they are a group. & what's up with shitty pop artists doing bad covers of epic songs that should remain untouched.

I meant after 1985-86.

1970s by far-Shit started going downhill BIG TIME,with the exception of DEVO.

QUEEN...that is all

Any decade except the 80's. When corporate music really took hold.

I think music just keeps getting better. But my favorite time period of music is like 95-2005. Eagle Eye Cherry, Sixpence None the Richer, Incubus, Green Day, Dave Matthews, Smashing Pumpkins, The Strokes, Oasis, Blur, Blink-182, Foo Fighters, Ben Folds Five, Collective Soul.

guys thanks for all the comments i love all music im the type of person that listen to rap in the morning rock/heavy metal in the evening R&B at noon and all other music at night. again thx 4 comments

Depends on the genre. But, to be honest, I don't really know.

Every era had good and bad music, but i would have to say 60s-70s because that was when rock was in its prime Led Zeppelin, Queen,Pink Floyd, Henderix... the list goes on

i have no idea man... cuz i dont listen to much old songs and im a buddy of present so love the way music is now .... may be it was good even before...
i think there is some kind of good ,everlasting music of all times...???

Maybe 5000 BC...
How would I know?

70's FUNKADELIC and 90!s real hip hop. Yes it's so true!

Somewhere between late 60s and mid 70s.

Between 30s and mid 50s

There's been good and bad music throughout the history of time but it was around the mid to late 2000's when it really started to go downhill. Now everything is auto-tuned and meaningless.

All you people saying 90's are probably just saying that for nostalgic reasons. How is "YotellyouwhatIwantwhatIreallyreallywant" over and over again as meaningful as John Lennon's Imagine?
