Correct. I know the lines often get blurred between what is "metal" and what is "hard rock" but their style definitely went through a noticeable change starting with the "black" album in 1991.

Of course Ozzie had a lot of great songs in the 80's. I absolutely love the bass in "No More Tears".

Fine. Let's forget the crap (although subjective) and compare the best of the...

All history now, and history will decide. Personally, I think when comparing the very best (quality and quantity), it's all been a downhill run. But then I'm 52.

Age most definitely influences our music tastes but I can't think of a single band or artist who started after the year 2000 who will have or has a lasting legacy on the same level as what some of the artists from the previous decades have had.
The Beatles, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Police, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Rush, etc. I can't think of any band or artist today who comes close to any of those bands.

I agree 100% The music industry post 2000 is drastically different than previous generations. Pop Music, Rap, "New" Country have dominated. Rock is not big business anymore.

As albums, I guess that goes for tapes too. Which brings the below video and man (Mike the Mike) to mind...
Just learned about him today, and I think it´s worth a mention. We all listen to a bootleg one time or another didn´t we? Not that I was a fan of bootlegs but thanks to them, we can now remember some of those events/recordings.

I'd like to throw Steely Dan's "Aja" out for consideration, it's one I can put on and just mind meld with.
Sade "Promise" is also outstanding.
Earlier in the thread, "Blinded by the Light" was mentioned - I like the Manfred Mann version, but I really prefer the Bruce Springsteen original - it's a bit more raw and has a great feel to it.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein
