Metal - Has to be the 80s, doesn't it?
Rock - Everyone knows rock achieved perfection in 1974. It's a scientifically proven fact.

Country most would say late 50s to late 60s.
Personally I think it was the 70s and the Outlaw movement. It's been all downhill since then but the last 20 years or so have been particularly jarring.

High water marks for rock are mid 70's and early-mid 90's.

1966-1970 is the greatest five year span in music history.

Hard rock peaked in 73-75
Alternate rock peaked in 91-94
Pop peaked in the mid 80s
Rap peaked in early to mid 90s

I think your definition of hard rock vastly differs from mine.

Hard rock came into its prime in the 90s and 2000s.

First, I realized I put 73, but I meant 71-75.

Second, hard rock is a pretty giant genre that includes other smaller genres. Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Who, Bowie and Queen can all be considered hard rock, they all peaked during that time, and in no way is the 90s and 2000s a greater hard rock era.

I don't consider a single one of those bands "hard" , that is just traditional rock music.

Zeppelin isn't hard rock? You may be the only person on the planet that thinks that.

No way. Dio/Rainbow, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Sabbath, AC/DC, etc etc etc.
The 70s were pretty much the best decade for any genre outside of rap.
Best decade for music of the 20th century. Easily.

Is Tool considered Hard Rock? Chevelle?

I would call Tool progressive metal, but Chevelle for sure is hard rock, most of which was commonly referred to back in the 2000s as "nu-metal." The 2000s we're definitely the hey day for heavy rock music.

Deftones, Sevendust, Chevelle, Mudvayne, Disturbed, Korn, Papa Roach, System of a Down, Godsmack, Staind, Puddle of Mud, Audioslave, Seether, P.O.D., Drowning Pool, Stone Sour, Breaking Benjamin, Flyleaf, Nonpoint, Linkin Park, Static-X. And even if you want to venture out into the more progressive stuff, there was Tool, Porcupine Tree, Karnivool, Oceansize, Opeth, Meshuggah, etc. There are a hundred more bands I could list.

That is all stuck in my brain because I was in high school from 2002-2006 when all of these bands were at their peak or starting to hit their stride, and everyone at school was listening to this kind of stuff because that's what was on the radio.

Some of these bands are obviously still active and there are still good rock bands out there, but I feel like around the time I graduated from A&M in 2010, the traditional idea of the "rock band" started to go by the wayside with advent of so many ways of making music digitally and inexpensively.

So we're not even gonna include Entombed's 1993 "Wolverine Blues" album? Cancel culture strikes again.

no that's death n roll. I should have properly labeled it as melodic death metal.. as many other bands hail from sweden.

Entombed not even in the same ball park.. not even the same league. Really it's not even the same sport.

Those top 3 are the absolute peak of the genre, and it was a whopping 3 month span from Nov 1995 to Feb 1996. Add in Dark Tranquility - The Gallery, also nov. of 1995.

Opeth and entombed are stockholm. Gothenburg was the home of melodic d.m.

Old man ripping on (then) newfangled rock music to follow.
Nu-Metal was just terrible for the majority of folks I know who grew up on classic rock & even Grunge. I love(d) a guitar solo and the tuned down music with guys rapping, screaming or using Creed type vocals was bad.
Plus the dudes wore pants like this:

I wouldn't count Audioslave in that group.

For rock, it depends. Do you like weed rock? Then definitely the 70s.

Acid Rock? the 60s
Cocaine Rock? The 80s
Heroine Rock? The 90s
Pill Rock? The 2000s

I love old school country but I would agree that the '90s were the peak in terms of creativity and approachability.

Peak Entertainment Board music response here. I'm not even mad (never was) but as soon as I saw "Swedish Death metal" I thought Entombed, however erroneous that may be.

A million years ago (ok roughly 2006ish?) there was a 4 part documentary on VH1 called "Heavy: the story of metal" and they had this awesome little infographic about the various genres in metal. Wish I'd kept a screenshot or something.

Sorry, I'd have to smack myself stupid before I realize he meant the drug heroin & not a female hero and then extrapolate that to the Seattle scene like decades of rock stars before weren't also junkies.

Film scores from '93-'03.

Jurassic Park, Apollo 13, Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Braveheart, Titanic.

Some real gems from that era.

I'm not being too serious in my response lol.

But, I mean you can't call queensryche or heart grunge just because they hail from Seattle.

I honestly only know Wolverine blues, and that is so far from those 3-4 melodic death metal albums from 95/96, it doesn't even cross my mind when the genre comes up.

I've seen the 10 metal evolution with Sam Dunn. He has the big chart, and it's all under Swedish extreme metal lol. That doesn't really tell you much. Lots of variety in there.
