Post-1970 bands versus Post-1990 bands

Postby C » 06 May 2021, 12:48

A non-starter thread really.

Isn't it...?

Surely all post-90 bands are also post-1970 bands?
Or do you mean 1970-1989 bands versus 1990-2020 bands?

On the whole 70-89 is better than 90-20 but there was plenty of rubbish in the earlier era (as seen in the Prog Cup), and there is plenty of great stuff in the later era.

so we talking 80's vs 90's bands?
I'm most likely in the minority here.
I will have to look but I'm thinking I prefer more artists from the 90's over the 80's.
although there are some late 88-89 bands that I consider didn't get their epics in until the 90's. MBV would be one.

I can give you at least one favourite: The Decemberists.

They started in 2002.

The Decemberists and Elbow are the only post 00's bands that made my top 30.
I'm sure Elbow get lots of hate here but I love everything they have put out just like the Decemberists.

Post 70's?

That would be the wonderful years 1976-77.

Debuts from Graham Parker, Mink DeVille and Tom Petty.

Love them in that order.
