Ah yes the 90s a time when kid cartoons were really inapropriate, but we were to young to realize that. Just go watch Rockos Modern Life and Ren and Stimpy and see the madness they are. It was also a decade where for me music got worse and worse every year and it hasn't really improved.

Blashphemy!!!! You obviously werent around for the early to mid 90's music scene then or listened to anything that came out of it (1990-1997) I mean first of all it blew away everything from the previous decade (the 80's was terrible) and second of all how can you say that when the 90's produced artists like Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Radio Head, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden,Tupac,  Stone Temple Pilots, Nine Inch Nails (when they got big) Red Hot Chili Peppers (when they hit their musical peak imo), Tool, Silverchair, Bush X, Korn, Wu Tang Clan, Notorious B.I.G, Blind Melon, Oasis, Live, ect. I mean sure music has gone to shit over the last 10 years but dont drag the 90's into it :P

I prefer music from the 80's and 70's, but I do agree that music from the past decade is even worse than the 90's which did have some bright spots. I am a huge old school hard rock and metal fan and the 90s was really the beginning of the end for those genres. Todays metal bands are no where near as good as it once was, though some of the old bands are still releasing classic albums ie. Metallica's Death Magnetic and Iron Maiden's Brave New World. System of a Down, Disturbed, Poets of the Fall, and Linkin Park are the only bands of the past decade I was ever able to get into.

For me the 90s started out great with Metallica's Black Album, Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark and Guns N Roses Use Your Illusion, but for me it went downhill after that. I couldn't get into grunge but I did respect them for what they did and I can't stand rap/hip hop. The only bands that started in the 90s I was ever able to get into were Rammstein which I still listen to, Korn who haven't been good in 10 years, Iced Earth, and a few others I can' think of right now.

My favorite bands are from the 80's and 70's. Metallica, Iron Maiden, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, The Who, Dio, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Guns N Roses, Meat Loaf, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Judas Priest, etc.

I guess to each his own then. At the same time "real " metal bands were few and far between in the 80's in a sense because the majority of it in the latter years of the 80's was that hair metal crap (thank god Nirvana came when they did). The actual good metal bands still managed to have careeers through the 90's though (minus the break ups).

Most of the bands you listed are pretty good ( not fond of Springsteen, Dio and Fleetwood Mac though)

I still have faith for "heavy rock", even though its a remix of an unreleased song (with new vocals) check out Soundgarden's new single "Black Rain" for their upcoming greatest hits album. The song keeps getting taken off youtube but I found one with a small number of views.
