BlueAngel Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm gonna go on a limb and say 1997.

Batman Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 wow, this is an old thread. I'm gonna guess that Batman's favourite year for music is no longer 1967. Yeah it's kinda weird looking back at my older posts. But then, it's not that weird I guess. What 14 year old white male isn't obsessed with classic rock for at least a year?

MindCrime Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 What 14 year old white male isn't obsessed with classic rock for at least a year? I wasn't, but I guess the music I listened to back then could now be classified as "Classic Rock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hot Topic?! This is no hot topic! The answer is 1971! 1971! Nineteen.......Seventy......One!! There is NO ROOM for debate! Now, if you wanna debate "What is the SECOND best year in music?", then, that I would understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) What about the worst year in music? I'd pick 1999 Boy-band pop got all the attention and rock was very dismal, with Creed, Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock being the most popular acts. That year also marked a significant change in commercialized mainstream Edited August 10, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
