What would Stevie Wonder be classified as? 70s? I know it's probably a shock to most that I'm saying I like some of his music. I really don't fit into the Stevie Wonder crowd politically.

Probably '70s.  And "Superstition" is an awesome song.

I agree Stevie used to be awesome.  It is all kind of downhill since I just called to say I love you.

I also have to disagree a bit with Nation re: college radio. I agree that Top 40 radio is pretty damn bad but college radio Can be worse.  They can often play a bunch of pretentious crap not worth listening.  Stuff you have never heard of but for good reason.  It can be good though.

Hah, oh trust me, I know. I've probably played some of it. But more than once I've been able to tune into Buffalo State's station during a show that I usually listen to, and find an awesome song by an artist I've never heard.

Unfortunatley, there is a lot of 20-minute techno/strange vocals/gobbledygook that isn't worth listening to. But it's the only kind of radio I can tolerate, heh.

'60s; while modern music can be good, most of the time it's not.  You would think that America is 90% black if you just take a sampling of the radio.

Great, now somebody's going to start complaining that we ought to have quotas for White performers.

You know, one of the many reasons I perfer living in 90%+ African American neighborhood is so that when I crank up Donna Summer, Prince, Aleysha Keyes, or Destiny's Child, I don't have to put up with comments about "Black Music."

I'm talking about the rappers who have exactly three topics: how many hoes they pimp, how awesome they are, or how many times they were shot.  I cannot understand how these people get so popular.

I don't get it either. Maybe the listeners want to live through the rappers? I have no clue, but I want to find out.

Tough call.
1990s had some great music, 1970s too, 1960s too, 1950s too, 1930s too, 1920s too...come to think of it the same is true of the 1980s and the 1940s. Smiley
