96+

The worst music was in the Nirvana era.

Nirvana was great, but everything else were Nirvana Carbon
Copies. The butthole surfers were cool though : )
And of course sonic youth.

Music now is amazing. There are some many good 'local' bands
on the net its retarded.

1989:
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
Erasure - Wild!
the Cure - Disintegration
Front 242 - Front by Front

not to mention All Dogs go to Heaven, the Sega Genesis, the
Gameboy.. but that's another story :)

I didnt like 94 too much. Was really boring.
1996 was insane good. When Manson popped up it was really
different and new (for my generation at least).
Before that it was all guys in flannel singing songs about
their dead pets.
Big Muff Pedals ran wild.

1996 brought a lot of great new releases.

I hate it when good music is on TV. It's like eating 5 boxes
of your favorite cereal in one sitting.

I liked 1994. Amber came out and I started listening to
Autechre. 1991-92 was a nice music time for me also. KLF and
The Orb. I was probably the first one to listen to The Orb
in Sweden. Ok, maybe not, but I was in the top10 (I don't
think you can find 11 Orb fans here).

Hmm
I was about to list Violater but I had it stuck in my head
that it was released in '90 or '91. But I guess I stand
corrected, according to Paco. At least it makes another
great addition to my '89 list! :D

1991.

Sure there really wasn't much electronic music, but there
was:

Nirvana - Nevermind
Slint - Spiderland
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Pearl Jam - Ten
Metallica - Black Album (flame me)

And I know that there's others that I'm forgetting.

I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite year... I'd say mid
90's were real good... and I've love 80's music, the whole
80's decade was awesome... :)

shrug, the 70's were good too...

'69 is def. my favourite year for music.

'96 my second just because of rdj album and lunatic harness.

For electronic purposes, I think 2001 was as good as it ever
got. And I'd put that year in my top 5 of all time overall,
period. Awesome year.

Definetly '93 for me...

Mostly 'cos of the acid techno scene, rave/hardcore, US
house, and Nirvana, Tool, best US hiphop, Tribe Called
Quest...

Songs like Domino - Ghetto Jam (summed up early 90's hiphop
for me - west coast stylee!)
Sonz of a Loop da Loop era
Shades of Rhythm
Prodigy Experience
Nevermind
FSOL - Lifeforms
Criminal Minds (from my small home town)

LOADS of great Trance techno about back then...

The main thing, for me, was how fresh the electronic scene
felt - These days it often feels kind of claustrophobic and
stale to me - At least compaired to back then, when most
"normal" people found repetetive music offensive, or assumed
it was just made for taking LSD and ecstacy to...

Back when I was 14, going to a rave was like being at the
cutting edge of a whole new scene - All the lasers and video
projectors - There wasn't as much drug taking going on back
then either - No matter what people tell you! Nothing
compaired to these days!
