1992: Greatest year of music, ever?

[jman3000]

same album:


"Cause I like to get on
magic mushroom potions"

[Spurminator]

I didn't get into the Beatles because of my parents. I got into them because of the Radio. The Beatles have probably close to 50 songs that get regular radio airplay. In 30 years, NIN and Rage may have a total of 3 combined.

I mean, who judges cool music based on their parents?

[Extra Stout]

The Beatles innovated much of the sound that has made up popular music in the past 40 years.

[Quadzilla99]

Is that a question ? My answer is no.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

CBF how old are you?

I was asking because you seem to like the 90's too much.

[DirkAB]

that 1967 list is vastly overrated. Bands and songs become overrated through time, not unlike inflation of currency.

Think about it. So many people over beatles and the like now, but if you take an imaginary popularity level of all those 1967 bands TODAY, then take all those 1992 bands and check their popularity 39 years later in 2031, do you think Nirvana, Dr Dre, Rage, NIN, won't be insanely overrated too?

Besides, us young folk weren't alive through that black n white

Anybody that compares Dr. Dre, Nirvana, Rage, and NIN in terms of popularity, talent, or greatness to the Beatles has credibility issues. Has to be one of the more ridiculous things I've read in a long time.

But '92 was good for a number of classic albums, that I will give you. Blind Melon might be my favorite one, without a doubt one of my favorite bands ever, what a shame.

[pache100]

but still those albums did not receive the praise they are getting now 10 years ago, 20, 30, etc

How do you know? You just said yourself you weren't here. You don't have a clue what the music scene was like back in the late 60s-early 70s. Stick to what you know.

That's why you don't see me comment much on current pop; I don't know anything about it. And don't necessarily want to. I listen to it some, but mostly to country. And I stick to commenting on what I know.

its cuz all the cholos listenin to that music told their kids about it and it spread

I don't have any kids. Do you have any idea what the statistics are on people my age who don't have kids? There are a ton of us. As I said, stick to what you know.

it's his opinion, who cares. some people don't like the beatles.

[SpursWoman]

I don't like the Beatles.

The popularity level and influence that the Beatles had in the world isn't a matter of opinion, it's fact. You can absolutey hate their music, but you can't ignore the fact that they are by far the most popular band in history, period.

Influence isn't always a good thing. I hold them 100% responsible for the emergence of Boy Bands.

And I don't like Boy Bands, either.

Good point.

But I prefer to blame fanatical preteen girls.

My kids do.

My #1 song the day I was born was, Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen


What's yours?

I Got You Babe - Sonny and Cher.
Help - The Beatles

[Spurminator]

My kids do.

Your kids are an obvious exception, as my kids will be.

[FromWayDowntown]

I don't like the Beatles.

I'm not singling you out, SW; but I think your post makes a point.

Whether someone likes the Beatles or not isn't the point, I don't think. Whether the Beatles are one of the most influential bands of all-time (if not the most influential band of all-time) is a question that is independent of anyone's tastes. Someone may dislike that the Beatles have had such influence, but there can be no doubt that the Beatles are among the handful of most important bands in history. I agree that it's a travesty to suggest that the here-today-and-gone-tomorrow nature of today's pop world would allow too many current or recent bands to have the same sort of staying power that the Beatles have had -- though I think bands like U2 and Metallica, for example, are likely to be fairly popular with the next generation.

I didn't dispute that they had influence.

But that I don't like them was my point.

[FromWayDowntown]

I didn't dispute that they had influence.

I agree; I don't think I ever implied that you thought differently and if I did, it's my bad.

My point was to note that popularity and influence are very different things. Your post provided a means to try to make that point.

But that I don't like them was my point.

Understood.
