90s grunge and alt rock. Legit the shittest fucking material I've ever heard that this board gobbles up as good. Would rather listen to fucking meme trap than this garbage.

2000s radio rock

Sup Forumscore

this era is only bad if you have no friends to enjoy these schlocky hits with. listen to jukebox hero in a room full of your friends while you are all getting ready to go out and you'll understand the vibe it was meant to represent.

this is the most reddit sounding post ive read today and i was literally on reddit today jacking off to hotwife porn

based

so you have no friends?

Foreigner is the only band on there that's any good.

Replace Foreigner with Boston, I would be in lock step agreement with you.

I want you......to want......me

Late 70s-early 80s soft rock, yacht rock, and bluesy southern buttrock.
Early 90s dance britpop one hit wonders. Emf, Jesus Jones, right said Fred.
Early 90s new psychedelic pop rock. 4 non blondes, spin doctors, Dave Matthews band.
Second wave 90s grunge. Candlebox, Seven Mary Three, Goo Goo Dolls.
90s skapunk. No Doubt, Bosstones.
90s ska influenced stoner rock. 311, Sublime.
90s-00s numetal, 3rd wave grunge, buttrock hybrids. Creed, Nickleback, Stains.

No self respecting person under the age of 30 would ever sing "Juke Box Hero"

It's a horrible song and it's tacky/tasteless as fuck

t. listens to clairo, gus dapperton and other fagcore

nice digits senpai. its a shame you have never listened to music for the sake of the mutual enjoyment/entertainment of a group of peers.

Just because you got trips doesn't mean you're right.

Juke Box Hero is a fun, silly song that is meant to be sung at the top of your lungs, either by yourself at a karaoke bar, or with a bunch of your drunken friends at a party.

You need to lighten up, trips or no trips.

I don't listen to kiddie shit, pleb.

the song that single handily brought rock back after the disco dark age


youtube.com/watch?v=BR2JtsVumFA

hey fuck you, I love Goo Goo Dolls and Mighty Mighty Bosstones

That's too bad about your shit taste.

It's too bad that you're so jaded that you can't enjoy fun, lighthearted music like the bosstones.

This song is unironically great.

No I just like the good version of it like Rocket From The Crypt.

late 90s-early 00's radio rock.

>Rocket From The Crypt
wow, that's spectacularly bad

Foreigner [Atlantic, 1977]

You've heard of Beatlemania? I propose xenophobia. C

Double Vision [Atlantic, 1978]

I love rock and roll so much that I find myself getting off on "Hot Blooded", a typical piece of nookie-hating cockrock based around a riff-verse-chord change that's (gah) second-generation Bad Company. Other than that, there's nothing here to threaten their status as world's dullest band. Inspirational verse--"She backhanded me 'cross my face." C-

Head Games [Atlantic, 1979]

Not as sodden as you'd expect--these guys are pros and they adapt to the times by speeding the music up. I actually enjoy a couple of these songs until I come into contact with the dumb woman haters doing the singing. I mean, these guys think punks are cynical and anti-life as they complain how the world is all madness and lies and then proceed to rhyme "science" and "appliance" without intending a joke. C-

The Doobie Brothers are good though. Modern country and country (white boy) rap is definitely some of the worse

All of Foreigner's hits are tasteless and contrived as fuck.

Besides, it's not like most people under 30 have ever used a jukebox anyway.

>all the shitty rap rock bands
god it was terrible.

Where would county fairs be without these bands?

Journey are fucking great. And Doobie Brothers don't belong on that list.

80s hard rock is fucking worse

>Journey are fucking great

Not sure if intended ironically or...

I liked The Goo Goo Dolls when they first started and were a punk band, but lost me after they changed direction.

Bosstones are cool, especially Devil's Night Out, and stuff from that era.

Only No Doubt I like is Tragic Kingdom. They could've been a good ska-punk band if they didn't go mainstream. (Of course The Pretenders could've been a good punk band if their debut album had been produced/mixed/engineered differently, and the mainstream hadn't promoted the shit out of it. They could've given X a good run for their money)

the always based Christgau

But that's what makes them so great.
It's BECAUSE they're tasteless and contrived they are a great band!

his reviews are still shit

unlike scaruffi he was at least funny

Modern pop and hip hop

Hi Infidelity [Epic, 1980]

I'm not saying they deserve the biggest selling album of their crummy era, but these boys have always known a thing or two about the hook and the readymade. Best song--"Tough Guys", which will never make the radio because it features this inspirational verse--"They think they're full of fire/She thinks they're full of shit". B-

Distinctions Not Cost-Effective [1970s]: Once the banality reached a certain level of density, I figured that rotational velocity no longer mattered. Then they started scoring hit ballads.

Distinctions Not Cost-Effective [1980s]: Pioneers of AM schlock rock/schlock pop, let history record that they got better--by the time of "Hi Infidelity", they were honoring the Doobie Brothers and Fleetwood Mac. Let history also record that they got worse.

>The Doobie Brothers are good though
Nah, dude, nah.

'10s Soundcloud rap

Pop country

Most buttcountry like Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, et al was directly made possible by REO Speedwagon and friends.

2010's radio pop

I used to think so...funny how a bunch of turds with face tattoos can sway one's opinion.

This guy knows

Spoiler that pic, OP. This is a SFW board.

For your information all those bands are awesome.

>For your information all those bands are awesome
Even by /r/music standards you have no taste.

All of indie rock.

this is the correct answer

>top 40 music since ca 2003

Hasn't Top 40 always been vapid garbage since the dawn of time?

Funny that, but I found in a thrift store last week a compilation album of Mildred Bailey (singer from the 1930s-40s) which was (c) 1979 and the liner notes included some commentary and background from her brother and finished with the comment that "It is a pity my sister was taken from us too soon (she died at 49 of complications from obesity) but I have a feeling that were she alive to see the top 40 of today, she would be glad the Lord called her home when he did."

There was a time when top 40 artist wrote their own music, believe it or not.

based

trap, modern pop

yes, millenials that don't get real music

no, 60's - 90's it was legit

fpbp, nirvana ruined the 90s. Hair metal should've stayed popular desu

Easy. Hair metal and nu-metal. Also maybe harsh noise but that has some merit

Is there anything better?

Didn't David & Bacharach write about 80% of those tunes in the 60s?

T. Soyboy

Hmmmm...

This stuff was the ultra-lazy bottom-feeder sludge for people who couldn't be bothered to actually listen to New Wave or any of the other actually interesting musical movements at the time.

The Billboard Top 30 for 1979 included such deep, intellectually stimulating songs as YMCA and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, so...

hairmetal of the mid/late 80s was far worse

While those bands are bad, they have a few catchy songs. When hair metal turned to power ballads from 1987 to 1991 it was the worst era imo and by the end bands literally designed for moms like Nelson came in. Honestly, most mainstream music from 1987 to 1991 is pretty exceptionally hideous in general - only dance redeems it
The shitend of britpop (1996-1998), landfill indie (2004-2008) and the whole ringtone rap era were all really bad too

It seriously gets old. 95% of any "classic rock" radio station's catalog consists of this stuff. ACDC, Led Zepplin, Guns & Roses, etc.

2010s radio anything

mfwtbhfam

That's millennial revisionism.

This. Journey, Foreigner, Night Ranger, they may not be the best thing around. But at least they aren't pretentious faggots

When did bands stop having logos? I never see that anymore

everything that followed

this
fuck alternative shit
long live real rock n roll

yeah, current radio hip hop pop stuff. Never has top 40 pop radio been even close to as bad as it has been the last 10 years

Styx is actually a good band. Foreigner has a couple good songs.

Fuck the rest of that trash though.

lol wtf is "real rock n roll"

led zeppelin, boston, whitesnake, journey

You need to seriously kill yourself right now user. I'm not saying this to be a dick or edgy. I'm genuinely concerned about you and I feel this is the best course of action.

How are any of those qualitatively different than the rock of the early 90s?
