Best year for music in your lifetime? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 09-30-2003, 02:49 AM

I was born in 1981, and the best year of music between then and now for me was 1992. That year was full of great R&B acts like: SWV, Mary J Blige, Toni toni toni, Jodeci, Snow, Arrested Development, etc. You also had what was the beginning of mainstream grunge, with groups like: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden among others. Even pop music in 1992 was great with people like: the Spin Doctors, John Secada, Annie Lennox, Celine Dion, Elton John, and on and on and on. 1992 was a very special year for me, and in my opinion, the best year in the last 20 years for music. What year in your lifetime do you consider to be the best in music?

I was born in 1985 so um... none.

Penny Lane · 09-30-2003, 09:46 AM

I would have to say 1965.

mcgwirefan · 10-02-2003, 02:02 PM

I know this dates me, but I was only 10-12 then. Like a lot of pre-teens then, I wanted to be older and fit in with older friends.
I liked 1961 in Rick Nelson's career best. I liked Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers too.

Krystal Lake · 10-02-2003, 02:31 PM

In my lifetime, probably around 1992 or 1993. The days of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, before Kurt commited suicide and before Pearl Jam sold out to the lowest common denominator.

But the best days of music were before I was born in 1982.

dandelion wine · 10-02-2003, 02:41 PM

I was born in '74.. guess I'll go with 1976, though the early to mid 80s had some great music, too.

Steve M. · 01-10-2004, 09:48 PM

I was born in 1965, so even though I'm too young to remember it, I'll go for 1968.

Dean Winchester · 01-10-2004, 10:01 PM

I was born in 79, but I think 3 years come to mind (well, 4 since 2 of them connected). 1984, 1987 and the last half of 1991-all of 1992

Kay Scarpetta · 01-10-2004, 10:58 PM

Hmm... I like all of the 80's. Can't pick just one year. Early 90's were great, too. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc.

Fleet · 01-10-2004, 11:08 PM

In my lifetime, I would pick 1961 (because I like the '50s and early '60s best). My all-time favorite year for music is 1958, with 1959 very close behind.

If it's music I remember, I would pick 1978 because I liked a lot of songs from that year- except disco (maybe because it was my last full year in High School).
A lot of hits from late 1977-1978...
"Hotel California"
"Dust In The Wind"
"Just The Way You Are"
"Hot Blooded"
"Reminiscing"
"Sweet Talking Woman"
"Two Tickets To Paradise"
"Well Never Have To Say Goodbye"
"Baby Come Back"
"I Go Crazy"
"Running On Empty"
"I Just Want To Stop"

factsoflife · 01-10-2004, 11:14 PM

i'm 22 so for me i'd have to say 1997 becuase TLC was at the top of their game w/ the "Fanmail" album, Mariah Carey was still clothed and could still belt out amazing # 1 hit after # 1 hit and Whitney wasn't a druggie yet. Also Spice Girls were EVERYWHERE and Teen-Pop rocked...

Also, 1999 because Christina Aguilera came out and stole the thunder from Britney at the Grammies by winning Best New Artist.

Pitooey · 01-11-2004, 10:30 AM

I just loved the 60's.....

The Beatles, Supremes, Temptations, The Monkees, 4 tops, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, The 4 Seasons, Mama and the Papas, Herman Hermits, Dave Clark 5, Turtles, Paul Revere and the Raiders.......... Woooooooooo. "I LOVE THE 60'S"...

AKA · 01-11-2004, 01:32 PM

1980, 1991, 1993, or 1994.

Mijada · 01-11-2004, 01:37 PM

1976 or 77

Faith · 01-12-2004, 04:34 PM

1991,1992,1997
