MUSIC is EVERYTHING - Edition 29

FEATURED SONG:

The Drop - "Centerfield" (cover of the John Fogerty song - from It Wasn’t Me !)

This week I take a trip through time and through all the major genres of music. I proclaim with all my infallible authority & knowledge when each genre was at its peak – i.e. in which decade of the 20thor 21st century was each genre at its overall best. I use the “three Cs” criteria, from which I take an aggregate measure: CREATIVITY – the breadth & depth of exploration; CHARM – how well-loved the music was & how much it connected to the culture’s imagination & zeitgeist; and COMMERCE – how much money did it make for artists & record companies.

These are the genres I’ll be tackling:

Ambient

Asian & African Pop Music

Blues

Classical

Country

Easy Listening

EDM

Electro Pop

Euro Pop

Film Music

Folk

Funk

Hip Hop

Indie/Alt Rock

Jazz

Latin

Metal

Musical Theater

Pop

Power Pop / Emo

Progressive Rock

Punk & Post-Punk

Reggae

R&B/Soul

Rock

Swing

Techno/House/Trance/Dubstep/Drum & Bass

This doesn’t mean that music wasn’t popular (or even more popular) in other decades. It doesn’t mean it was the ONLY decade when artists were creatively fruitful (or even at a peak). And it doesn’t mean that genre didn’t make lots of (or even more) money in another decade. It’s about the music’s overall impact on the culture, and especially on the world of music in general. Oh and I don’t go into most sub- or ANY sub-sub-genres.

Which decades are your favorites for these genres? Are there other decades you think were even better? Discuss dammit!

*intro music: REC - "In Your Dreams Tonight" (cover of the Agent Orange song - from Syzygy for the Weird)
