Could be good material for a thread?

Here's a playlist of 80s RnB compiled from Andy Kellman's magisterial RnB year-by-year playlists that is well magisterial

house was pretty good in the 80s although it comes right at the tail end. jungle and hardcore right up there with garage in the 90s.

Very minority. I've listened to a few albums of that stuff, gets tedious quite quickly. Handful of great tracks?

Garage best dance music of the 90s. RnB and Rap 00s.

90's goes to decisively to jungle.

For the 00's I'd probably go for dancehall, though honourable mentions go to grime and bassline.

2010's goes to footwork, though competition's thin on the ground.

I recognise jungle dominated the 90s in terms of ardcore dance music but if I had to preserve one of the two genres for future generations to dance to, I'd roll jungle up in a carpet and throw it in a canal.

Might be a wise decision, Garage seems to have more staying power.

That being said, for me Jungle is still the vanguard; no music has surpassed it either emotionally or musically. Some music is as good, but no music is better. I personally wouldn't say the same of Garage.

It's all subjective and that's the way it should be.

In spite of my Strong Man exterior, I'm really a fan of melody above all else. Melody and a sort of sentimentality. I listen to classical music more than any other music, and more Mozart, Chopin and Beethoven than any other composers.

For me garage and 80s soul fuse sweet aching melody with snappy sinuous rhythms in a similar way (same goes for RNB of course).

Perhaps jungle doesn't figure so heavily for me anymore because I don't go out raving. I don't value the sheer visceral power of jungle anymore, where once that was THE thing. (Same time I was into dubstep,)

90s goes to Jungle, Gabba, early 90s German/Belgium banging Techno/Acid

00's goes to the better End of BreakCore, Grime and the neglected Jungle/DnB End

2010's .... there's a void where should be xtasy
