I'm a huge fan of oldies. I lived the 50s since I assume you mean the cultural 50s (meaning that Del Shannon's "Runaway" is not what you think of when you think of 60s music). I like all eras before and after, though, up through about the early 00s. However I do have some good news, I think music IS getting better slowly, but it's under the surface. Phillip Phillips and Gabrielle Aplin could be signs of what's to come (I SURE HOPE SO) and we may be putting the era of songs on the radio that make our ears bleed behind us.
Music is becoming like a science now. It still has a vast personalised intuition but like any other accumulated knowledge base and the ease and inexepense of recording today creative minds are melding at an accelerated rate.
Metal in the 10s is a an interesting sound scape to be in.
I am sorry dude but I really don't think glam metal is real metal for expamle I think bands like Bad English and Danger (Pantera is 10 times better them in my opinion) are more pop rock also with you pure brutality as suggest you listen to bands like slayer pantera exodus and seputulra
any sound artificially produced, reproduced from a recording, etc., to create a theatrical effect, such as the bringing together of two halves of a hollow coconut shell to simulate a horse's gallop; used in plays, films, etc.
