Not sure about new bands, but RHCP, Tool, Audioslave, Pearl Jam, and Army of Anyone have all put out solid albums..

Anything but right now. Um thats a toughie, probably go for the sixties. I mean like every month the stones would have a classic single out, the beatles, motown, bands like Love, the doors, captain beefhearts first album, you name it. Great decade for music.

the 80's rock until 91-93. after freddie mercury died rock seemed to fall slowly.

[mdttkk]

84-94 probably for me
you have your GNR, Bryan Adams, Grunge Bands and what not.  all good music stopped around 94-96.

60's and the 90's... easily.  Of course every era has great bands but these two decades have the most bands that I enjoy on a daily basis.

If I was feeling especially nerdy I'd probably do a spreadsheet and make some goold ol' pie charts to show where my collection is based!  But not for now.  I'd guess most of my music came out 1985-1995, that sort of era.  I only have one or two albums from the 60's, some good music in that decade but too soft/dated most of it for me.  The 70's I'm more into, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd headlining.  The 80's is where it gets interesting, with thrash metal being a major favourite genre of mine.  Maiden, GN'R, Megadeth and Metallica headline the 80's for me.  The 90's was very good, Pantera, Faith No more, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains coming in to headline.  00's?  Not a lot yet, Mastodon and Strapping Young Lad headlining the 00's so far.

In short, 1980-1996.

Mid 1960's through  the early 1970's.

IMO this period brought more new ideas and concepts to music than any other era in rock by far. Bands like Cream, The Doors, The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Ten Years After, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Greatful Dead, Santana, Jefferson Air Plane, Steppenwolf The Stooges, MC5, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Who, and so many more came out in this short period of time.

1966-1980.. beatles, the doors, pink floyd, emerson lake and palmer, led zeppelin..

In 1995 you got the Hly Bible what more can I say any Americans who are not familiar with this album should go and get the Box set 10yr anniversary well worth the money if you can find it.
