My feeling is that after the '80s pop became controlled by soloists (including boy bands and girl bands) and not so much by bands, though the '90s had a few decent pop bands like the Gin Blossoms, The Rembrandts, Hootie+Blowfish and others. But since the '90s I don't think there has been much good pop music at all. I think the better music is found among the "indie bands".
I think '80s was the best decade for pop music, though I think where you had so many different bands aiming at the radio back then, music was going to lose something that it had in '70s with all the album oriented songs, the longer, heavier stuff. The '60s was ok, but I really think a lot of that stuff seems pretty dated now. The British beat-pop, surf-pop or RnB pop. I do like some of the pop songs that came out of the late '60s psychedelia, like Arthur Brown's "Fire" which I believe was a #1 hit. |
