Was the music of the 90s as good as now?

I only know the music by decades NOW because I'm old enough. But when I was living through them, these songs were just the soundtrack of my life. You'll hear a song and go “Oh! That came out in the 80s??” I wasn't paying attention to the year when it came out. I just liked the song or the music! I can narrow down certain songs that came out during the 60s. Because that was when I used to buy records. After that time period, somebody has to tell me what decade for a particular song. From the 70s forward, all the years roll together.

i bought a 90's cd from mc mario, i love it, the music makes me think of the good old days..

The rock music of the 90s was good. Also, the American Country Music of the 90s was real good.

The music changed as almost everything. It depends a lot of the likes a person may have particulary and there are some good songs actually. But, generally I rather prefer the music from the 80th and 90th.

As being born in the early 90's, I have no idea about the music of 90's. However, when I try to listen to the songs from that decade, I like them more than the music of the ongoing decades.

I think it's a matter of taste. After all, there was still terrible music being put out in those eras. I think we just have a tendency to exaggerate how good music was back then. In my opinion, music is just as good these days as it was back then. These days artists have much more potential and in an environment where certain topics aren't as taboo (e.g rapping about being gay, making a song where the lyrics heavily criticize religion, politics, etc). Nonetheless, some of my favorite tunes were released in those decades. But it is all just a matter of taste. :)
