Country music went from " I'm A Honkytonk Man" to " What She's Doing Now"
What kind of trade do yall think that was?

Why not make the comparison using Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin?

You're comparing Southern Rock to Thrash Metal, for some reason.

mid-80's to Nirvana was a pretty radical change less than a decade.

Venom released Welcome To Hell in 1981... so... it's much more gradual than that.

Right. I would say the jump between mid 80s to mid 90s, at least in metal, was much bigger. 1975 had Judas Priest playing at least some of the template of what Metallica did, and then a couple of years later Motorhead. But the jump to extreme metal - black & death metal with completely different vocal approaches - by the early 90s, was bigger IMO. Most of my friends who like metal still have a "hard pass" attitude on any of that stuff, 30 years on.

But in terms of "pop music", i.e. music commonly played on radio and enjoyed by the public, mid 50s to mid 60s is also a bigger jump than from 75 to 85.

And you had Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath the whole time from the late 60s putting out imagery and darker tones.

Plus with the imagery that the music reflected, even The Misfits from 1977, who finally put out walk among us in 1982. Thrm and bands like black flag had a huge inspiration imo on what became thrash.

I’ll take this 10 year period from my youth and compare to any 10 year period if the criteria is “radical change”............ 1962 to 1972

The dividing line was 1964 with the arrival of the Beatles. Prior to that, pop music, girls groups, Dion and the Belmonts, et. al. The Beach Boys and the Wall of Sound added orchestration unlike anything we had heard but the Beatles were a musical and cultural phenominon. Add The Rolling Stones, the Doors in the middle of this 10 year period. Throw in the first time any of us had ever heard reverberation, fuzz, hell mono to stereo and then end this period with damn Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Zepplin and Deep Purple.

The jump from “My Boy Lollipop” to “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” gave me emotional whiplash.

Well my only thing to say is that certain groups who used to ROCK in the mid 70’s changed how they played in the 80’s. Aerosmith is a perfect example... they went from straight hard core guitar rock & roll to horns and keyboards.....

Metal did not exist. Not in 75. Sure Sabbath was there but nobody know what the hell they were doing at that point. People had to circle back to Black Sabbath.
