I can think of so many truly brilliant albums released in 1977, let alone the 6 years that followed, hence my choice of answer

I'm shocked to see 1997-2003 leading the votes.

The romantic era, 1820-1910. The options really aren't "eras", just 5 or 6 years where people changed up their style of music a little bit. The romantic era had:

Beethoven
Schubert
Chopin
Mendelssohn
Brahms
Grieg
Bizet
Wagner
Tchaikovsky
Debussy

Really? It had a lot of excellent albums. The mainstream popular ones, like 'Soft Bulletin' and the other Flaming Lips mature albums, 'Ok Computer' and the other Radiohead albums, 'Aeroplane Over the Sea', 'Is This It', etc. Some are a bit overrated, but 97-03 had a lot of good music.

Not denying it had some good music but a lot of the other choices had way more classic albums, important albums, influential albums and more fun albums.

Alfred · 10-10-2008, 03:23 PM

I voted because it I don't listen to a lot of Classic Rock, and most of the albums I enjoy are from that era.

I have no clue what my second choice would have been. Probably would've been between 77-83, 83-89 and 2004-present.

Double X · 10-10-2008, 05:30 PM

Not to slam on the 80s but albums were really good in 83-89? I barely have any full albums from the 80s. I guess...Sonic Youth, The Smiths, Nick Cave? But I don't even listen to those guys too much.

To be quite honest, the 80s were some of the worst times culturally. Music, film, a lot of it all went by the wayside.
