You don't think so?

Then find me a radio station that says "we are the station of the zeroes". Can't find one huh? You can find 80's, 70's, 90's but nobody creates a zeroes station. The 90's wrecked music for all time. That left the zeroes as a dystopia of cacophonous, tuneless wannabees and post hip hop.

I'd rather listen to Cliff Richard's Wired For Sound.
I don't quite follow you on this. You think the 2000's to the 2010's saw the biggest change in music? I share your distaste for regularly tried garbage bands like Florida-Georgia line, who have anything but a real and authentic sound, and Taylor Swift who creates songs that don't even have a melody, let alone good or real singing. But how is this different from the 2000's...?

1960s when Bob Dylan went electric changing the face of folk music and rock with "Like A Rolling Stone."

1965
In March 1965, Dylan released his fifth album,Bringing It All Back Home.

Side One featured Dylan backed by an electric band. Side Two featured Dylan accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. On July 20, 1965, Dylan released his single, "Like a Rolling Stone", featuring a rock sound. On July 25, 1965, Dylan performed with a rock band at the Newport Folk Festival. Dylan's poetic writing style also changed music and can be now traced to rap. A producer once relayed similarities between Dylan and Ice T in writing styles.

Hmm, I'm not sure. There's a lot of music that came out in the early 2000's that sounds similar to music coming out today, at least in the genres of R&B and Pop.

80s to 90s w/o question!!!!

In the early 80s digital crap started ruining GOOD pure analog sound (more and more as the 80s progressed) ..... (It was the bands fault for blindly believe the lies that it sounded better)


In my opinion it all happend @ RIGHT TIME though.... MUSIC STARTED GETTING WORSE IN THE 80s so who cares if they compromised thier music,it was crap anyway!!

ALL THE MUSIC FROM THE 70s AND EARLIER IS IN PURE ANALOGUE BEAUTY WHERE IT BELONGS!!

Except the speakers and sound systems of the 70's capture less of the actual sound of music than the speakers of today do. It may be digital today, but you're hearing it at better qualities with today's speakers compared to what existed in the 1970's and prior.

I think 50s to 60s. You went from jazzy and standard type music to rock and bubblegum pop. There was some rock n roll in the 50s, but it was much more mellow than the stuff that came later.

Rock changed a LOT From decade to decade. Of course the 60's had the likes of Jimmi Hendrix, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, CCR, and many many more, stuff the 1950's were so far away from. Then the 70's redefined almost everything you knew about the 60's with Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, etc. I think the 80's saw little change from the 70's, it was mostly an expansion of what was big in the 70's.

The 90's with the advent of Grunge, which effectively killed off all the metal hair bands of the 80's was a game changer as well. Then in the early 00's rock took a serious nose dive as pop and especially Rap and Hip Hop SURGED. And today bro country and POP country is dominating the air waves, so disgusting to my ears.

Dylan going electric was a big deal but it was a big deal in a much bigger big deal. Dylan going electric at Newport in 1965 was sandwiched in between the Beatles first American tour in 1965 and Hendrix play Monterey in 1967. But Chuck Berry 's was hitting the pop charts in 1956, the change was well on the way before the 60's.

And not a whole lot different from what was being played in the 60's. Despite the dubiously micro-genres assigned to post 70's Rock and Roll, outside of Disco and Hip Hop I haven't heard a thing that struck me as being game changing when comes to Rock & Roll.

Oh for god's sake! Using that argument all then music should be acoustic and only heard at live performances.

I'm surprised that 70's to 80's hasn't gotten more votes. I listen to a lot of 70's music and it sounds nothing like what was coming out in the 80's.

Even though I wasn't around for these years I feel like the late 70's to early 80's was virtually the same. Early 70's to mid 80's saw a big change though, especially with all the synthesizers they started using, but I think that started around 78 or 79? Styx was big into using synthesizers, and by the time the 80's came around that's all you heard anymore.
