Favorite/Least Era of Music?

---

This feels like it needs to be broken down more.

Like the best era for R&B might coincide with the worst for Metal. So if you’re a fan of one you’ll say it was a great era and if you’re a fan of another you’ll say it sucked.

Also, streaming services altered the landscape. It used to be the only way you knew of a band was either by radio play or if you frequented the music scene. This meant cherry picked music for most people.

The further back you go, the more cherry picked the music gets. If you look at #1 songs back in the 50s on any given week you might see two to three songs that still get played. The most popular songs aren’t always the ones that end up on the “Classic Hits” we associate with those eras but is what the people of the time were listening to the most.
