Rabble is right. there's plenty of great modern music, you just have to go to it now, it won't ever come to you. "Popular" music is a wasteland of garbage.

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations Judas Priest - British Steel Motörhead - Ace of Spades Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz All 5 released in 1980. There are several more but those are my top 5. |

The great thing about the evolution of the music business is that it's easier than ever to find music that suits one's taste but it can take a little digging, unless you're willing to search out forums or threads like these that can uncover all kinds of gems. |
Will always be today due to the catalog and inspirations artists have to draw from
There's definitely genre dips along the way but its rare that I purchase anything that's been released in years prior unless its super special to me If we're going off nostalgia, then yeah, mid 80s metal and early 90s death metal for me |

That all changed once I heard Heaven & Hell, Blizzard of Ozz, The Scorpions Animal Magnetism, Pat Traver's Smokin'Whisky & Drinking Cocaine and Van Halen's Women and Children First. All of the sudden, all was right with the world. |
The correct answer is the entirety of the 80's. Show me another decade that spawned so many styles and had so many different types all simultaneously popular at the same time.

It's just that you have to go search according to your tastes because there's so much of it, it would never find it's way to mass distribution. |

And Pat Travers is crazy good. I love that tune. |

I can't name an exact best year, but something from the "classic rock" era which is maybe late 60s to late 70s. |

I was 14 years old at that the time and had heard every great guitarist, from jazz to blues to rock, but that guitar tone and solo just blew me away. It was so honest and melodic while having so much attitude that it really affected my playing style from that moment forward. Van Halen's Fair Warning was the same. I'd always enjoyed Van Halen and Eddie's guitar riffs (I can't spell out r.i.f.f.a.g.e.) but it wasn't until I heard Dirty Movies, Sinner's Swing! and Hear About It Later that I really got into them because there was just so much anger and attitude in those songs and solos, something I didn't hear in 50's, 60's and 70's guitar driven music, whether it was pop, rock or jazz. That year really changed my life. |

Love Drive, Animal Magnetism, Blackout and Love At First Sting were just an awesome mix of great production, killer guitar tones and songwriting. They just hit it out of the park during that era for me. |
