The whole "music was bad from the 90s onward" argument makes it really difficult to engage. Because no matter what someone says, you're not here for it. So why bother? Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

In other words "Get off my lawn". Boring.
If you think all bands in the 90s sounded the same and there has not been great music since, you should get out more and actually listen. It's more the case of you not being interested in being exposed to something new and cling on to your old heroes and "back in the day everything was better". But whatever. No one cares. |

Well put. We all have our musical heroes, and it makes me wonder if the OP doesn't even like anything from Prince past Batman. If we're playing by his rules on the thread, then anything from Graffiti Bridge onward wouldn't count, because music died, the world stopped turning, the ice caps melted, we're living in Waterworld and nothing will ever be the same again in the history of mankind and the goddamn universe.
There was a huge shift in music in the 90s. There were clear changes. The late 80s saw a bigger reverby sound and a lot of male-female groups (Boy Meets Girl, etc) that seemed to be a direct reaction to 80s hair bands and 80s pop. Then rap started to be integrated into music, and hip-hop groups came to the forefront (eg: TLC). But as a backlash to all that pop appeal came grunge (which is the same way Punk and heavy metal was an assault on disco). As an answer to grunge, boy bands and pop princess-wannabes popped up at the end of the 90s into the aughts.
Music happens in ebbs and flows. For anyone to be that obtuse and not see that, and logically weight it against itself, rather than childishly cutting everything off at one particular point forever, is juvenile, at best. If I cared enough about the people who thought that way, I'd pity them. But alas, I do not.

Prince had some decent stuff after his prime. Diamond and Pearls and The rainbow children stand out but the rest are forgettable if you ask me. Especially albums this thread overrates a lot like Come.
Boy bands were happening way before the late 90s with the likes of Take That, East 17, Boyz II Men, Jodeci etc etc [Edited 12/17/20 10:46am] |
