Greatest Years in Rock and Roll

[The Sushi Bandit]

Music Trivia!!

My research shows that truly great music that is produced by multiple artists comes biennially.

What years do you feel had produced the very best in music? It cant be just a few great songs or bands when everyone else sucked! It must be across the board - outstanding.

Have fun, and JUSTIFY your opinion.

2. I have to say that 1975/76...77/78 are missing on your poll...

Kinda by the end of 1979 it was waning....

I'm not talking about the mainstream, though....I'm talking about the other music.
