And that's half the problem these days. Classic rock bands still release new material, it's just getting more difficult to hear it amongst the diversity out there. Most classic rock stations I listen to merely play the same old classic stuff from the 70s/80s and seldom debut any newer material.

I usually resort to YouTube to learn about newer releases and try to find a few gold nuggets amongst the junk.

I'd say 91-01, but mainly due to preference (I like alternative and that covers just about all the best years of my favorite rock bands). I'd say a more true answer would probably be mid 60s to early-mid 70s.

1983-1992

Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, early black metal, thrash etc...metal never really had another banner year after 1992.

the fucker who coined the phrazes "rock ballad" and "hair bands" should be stoned to death. This is when the corporations finally killed rock music. There has been a lot of good bands and good shit come out after this, but the pure amount of good music was traded for gimmicks and MTV.

Speaking of which I saw a documentary of The Band a few weeks back that made me very nostalgic for that period of music. Anyone else catch that, was fantastic.
