When Did YOUR Kind Of Music Peak?

[Fat_Sunny]

Fat Was Selecting Some Fresh CD's To Put In His Pimp-Mobile Tonight And Something Struck Him As He Looked Through His Collection That Had Never Struck Him Before: About 75% Of His Very, Very Favorites Were From The 12-Month Period Between June 1969 And June 1970.

Fat Is A Fan Of What You'd Call Classic Rock, And Here Are Just A Few That Were In The Charts During That Period:

Led Zep 1
Led Zep 2
Led Zep 3
Abbey Road
Tommy
Blind Faith
In The Court Of The Crimson King (King Crimson)
The Allman Brothers Band
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (N. Young)
Goodbye (Cream)
After The Gold Rush (N. Young)
Elephant Mountain (Youngbloods)
Crosby, Stills, And Nash
Deja Vu (C, S, N & Y)
Workingman's Dead (Grateful Dead)
The Band

Not To Mention That WOODSTOCK Also Was In That Same Year.

So, For F_S, His Music PEAKED Mid-1969 To Mid-1970. After That, It Was All Downhill.

What Is Your Favorite "Type" Of Music, And When Did It Peak?

[TheMojoPin]

It hasn't.

I'm too all about hearing new music in general as opposed to any one "type" to see myself giving it up.

F_S Hears Ya. There Was Still Alot Of Stuff After That He Liked, Especially In The 80's. But When He Picks His Very Favorites, They All Have A Certain Sound And Evoke A Certain Feel, And Whatever That Was Peaked In That Time.

I have what could possibly be the absolute worst taste in music.

I mainly listen to broadway soundtracks of shows I am doing or have done... or intend to do.

But the music I grew up with..... COCK ROCK.
Skid Row, Poison, Motley Crue, Winger, LA Guns, Queensryche, GNR, Pantera, Tesla.... these were the bands that shaped my youth and I still love them today. Admittedly!
I do still keep my CULT cd in my player .... some of my favorite tunes.
And Warrior Soul holds a place near to my heart.

Other than that... its Motown, Elvis, and 70s funk for me!

"The Bands That Shaped My Youth"...Yeah, That Seems To Get To The Heart Of The Matter.

Fat Takes It That You Are A Singer?? Do You/Have You Sung In Broadway/Off Broadway Shows??

Nothing ON or OFF.... just regional and semi pro in NY and NJ.

I get yelled at often for not doing more professionally.... but I assure you, if someone would pay for my insurance and bills whilst I audition... I would gladly make the career shift! lol

[Fat_Sunny]

Fat's Only Regret In Life Is That He Has No Musical Talent And He Admires Those That Do.

What Kind Of Venues Do You Sing At, And How Often?

[Devo37]

mid 80's - early 90's (92.7 WDRE)

/also love typical 80's music

[Acne_Americana]

1983-1986. Unbeatable years for metal.

[weezcase]

weezer - pinkerton

after that album other music seemed so bleh to me, even weezer's subsequent offerings

[DonInNC]

I was a teenager during the 80's, but I really have no interest in 80's music anymore except for maybe some of the alternative stuff. I find myself listening to a disproportianate amount of 90's rock, although I didn't particulary care for it at the time. The alt country scene was also at its height in the mid-90's, so I have to consider that. On the other hand, I also like a lot of Woodstock era stuff and what followed immediately thereafter. For the sake of symmetry, I'll put my peaks at 69 and 96.

[moochcassidy]

interesting given your last music thread.

the music i most identify with is the late 80's early 90's 'baggy' period or the 'second summer of love (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Summer_of_Love)'- Happy Mondays, Stone Roses and New Order. (anyone whos seen 24 Hour Party People will get the idea)

from Joy Divison and the Smiths into the indie/dance crossover of stuff like 'Fool's Gold' and 'shoegazing' bands like Jesus and Mary Chain, the Charlatans, Inspiral Carpets, 808 State into early Prodigy and Oasis.

i love new and old music too, but i think Fats is getting at the type of music that you sort of claim as your own..i guess it comes from the type of music you were into when you discover that life-long love for music. i love new music but i find myself drawn to bands like black rebel motorcycle club and the arctic monkeys that have the same influences.

from this shakey start i went on my own journey back to the first summer of love..60's...dylan..and found my true love- the blues.

i don't think bobo and sleeves have peaked yet.

Rock achieved perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact.

Nothing achieved anything in the 70's. That's the law.

That's Pretty Close To True!

interesting given your last music thread.

The Music In 1967 Was Amazing, But It Was On A Bell Curve That Peaked in 69-70. '67 Was More "Pop" And Music Was Still "Singles" Oriented. You'd Drive Around In Your Car Singing Along To Top 40 Radio. By 69, Music Was "Album" Oriented, And You'd Sit In Your Smokey Room For Hours At A Stretch, Just Listening And Groovin'!

[mikeyboy]

No idea. The stuff I listen to is pretty eclectic and I don't tend to gravitate to one particular era.

[Death Metal Moe]

Death Metal peaked in the 90's and was kinda on it's way out by 2000. Very sad, great genre of music.

[ChimneyFish]

I really try not to corner my self in to one genre(ever since early high school at least), so I don't really see music as something that can "peak".
As an art form, there really can be no "peak" or "death". Just your personal opinion.
You can go by "the death" of genres, but that's still really only your opinion.



And I am a quotation using ass.:happy:

Well, Of Course In Matters Of "Taste" There Are No Right Or Wrong Answers. However, If One's Favorite Type Of Music Is Classical Music, It Is Perfectly Valid To Say "I Think Classical Music Peaked In 1817".

F_S Wasn't Saying That Music In General Has "Peaked"; Who Knows What The Future Brings. But Certainly Many Types Of Music Have Peaked. It Is Just The Natural Cycle Of Things.

[WhistlePig]

I'd have to say between 1977-79. That is when most of the punk rock and new wave bands that I love put their best albums out--many of them their first. (Devo, B52s, the Damned, Dead Boys, XTC, Talking Heads, the Cramps). Of course there were plenty of great bands before (Eno, the Stooges, David Bowie, New York Dolls) and since (PiL, Jane's Addiction, the Pixies etc..) but it seemed that small period of time had the biggest concentration of really great music coming out all at once.

[Recyclerz]

With all the usual disclaimers, ("yeah, yeah, I listen to all the XM music channels") I'm pretty close to WP's position here but for precision's sake I'm throwing in a time & a place:

Time: late May to early June 1981
Place: Bond's, Times Square, NYC, Planet Earth

[PooPooFinger]

FRIDAY.

Ironically, mine destroyed the livelihood of most of yours. Early 90s grunge. Nirvana being the big one of course.

Skip a decade and next is late 90s early 00s. At the Drive-in, Bright Eyes, Mars Volta, Sunny Day Real estate.

Hip Hop. Wu Tang.

I like all music.
