12:27 - Roman Doez

The musical period I enjoy the least by far are the 80s but each decade has its fair share of bangers

12:23 - Roman Doez

If we take all of music into account I'd add 1966, 1974 and 1996 to the list

12:20 - Kirinyale

Even today I filtered by year on MS and found another band I've never heard of before (Autumn), which I can't say I love from today's perspective, but it still sounds way better than most sympho releases of 2026.

12:20 - Roman Doez

For metal specifically I'd say the best years are 1994, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2009 and 2012

12:19 - Kirinyale

I mean, who'd argue that Once and The Silent Force are genre classics? :) And these are just tip of the iceberg.

12:18 - Kirinyale

Yeah, nostalgia definitely has a part in it, but 2004 wasn't the year when I started (it was around 2-4 years before) and it still is like a "magic number" for so many of the albums and bands I loved at the time.

12:02 - Languedocian

For me it is 1995-2006 ... The bulk of my 9s and 10s come from this period. Maybe it was just being a teenager, but it seemed like pretty much every other week there was a genre classic being released.
