13138257, which two Music eras overall were like night and day to you and why?
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Sat Mar-25-17 11:06 PM
for me the 80's and 90's are vastly different from any two eras that i can think off and yet both very versatile
and I ain't just talking because Rap hit a prime and peak in the 90's it was really different sonically as well.
13138259, I think you could say that about the 80s and any other era.

It was such a different and kinda weird time for music, and other things too.
13138260, 80's in part to me felt like the 60's

having been in the era it was unique from 80-84 and then in 85-87 it was bland,beiege and watered down until New Jack Swing saved it.

13138285, With jazz, the 60s & the 70s

The overall move from 6/8 to 4/4 is very noticeable.
13138371, 70s Jazz as in Fusion?

because even though a lot of it is reviled by old heads, a LOT of heat came out in the 70's.

13138377, Jazz fusion, funk, and all of the other hybrids

I'm into both, tho I get why the older heads probably weren't feeling the newer sound. 6/8 rhythms are pretty dope, but aren't as pop-friendly as 4/4.
13138370, bad shit from the 90's gets a pass, but not bad shit from the 80's

I'm probably not the best guy to ask, but the 90's is pretty much were I quit listening to R&B for the most part. However, most of my contemporaries LOVE that shit. A LOT of overproduced music from the 90's get run on some 'old school' shit, but bad music from the 80's is universally clowned ( rightfully so).

Aside from a really small sample size, I can't STAND 90's R&B. Not to say that the 80's is much better, but there's a VAST difference in terms of what I can stand from those two decades.
