Was the 80s-90s the best era musically for us?

[Knowledge]

Such variety, such soul






You can go on and on but those two decades we're the business for sure. When you think about it, we was on top of our game with everything else in this time period as well with movies, comedy, sitcoms, etc. GOAT to be growing up

70's was dope too.

70s was great with Hendrix, bootsy, and other but I still this the era I selected is GOAT. Maybe it's nostalgia

It's different for different genres. For me at least

Funk bands and the soul music was like no other in the 70's.

Stevie Wonder was that nikka and so was Marvin.

Earth Wind And Fire, Stylistics, Delfonics, Spinners, Ohio Players....What?

The Ojays, Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes, Jackson 5.

Then you have Rock with The Eagles, Pink Floyd and Van Halen.

Even The Carpenters had bangers..

And I dont care what @Art Barr says......I was born in 78 so all my first memories of music were disco heavy.

1972 was an amazing year.

In 1972,120,000 of us crowded the L.A. Coliseum for Wattstax with The Staples Singers, Rufus Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, The Bar-Kays and Isaac Hayes.

The same year, Jesse Jackson held the Save The Children concert in Chicago where almost everyone major in black music performed: Cannonball Adderley, Jerry Butler, Sammy Davis Jr., Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Jackson 5, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Ramsey Lewis, Curtis Mayfield, Wilson Pickett, The Temptations, Bill Withers.
