Interesting topic. I think, in the end, it's a bell-shaped curve of quality, regardless of what time period you're looking at. A small number of classics, a large number of ordinary/average/typical releases, and then a gutter at the bottom with all of the crap. I think this is true regardless of genre and time period.

HOWEVER, it then boils down to a question of which sort of ordinary/average/typical releases you prefer, which of those curves' middle sections you can dig. Some people even like the crap from a given curve.

Well,P.B.,allow me to disagree on that.I think that,regardless one's taste in music,every gerne has it's prime time.For example "hair metal's" prime time was L.A. in the 80ies,no one can doub t that.

Same way i think that Heavy Metal's prime time where the 80ies.The "tricky"prat is what one means typical/ordinary.To me,regardless of the Great bands that had a unique sound/style,stuff like Witchkiller's Day Of The Saxons or Ostrogoth's Fool Moon's Eyes is all but typical.

I give set those two releases as an example just to point out bands that had not a unique sound,yet they compsosed some really GREAT songs

But the topic posed a question of time, not genre.

That's excactly what i'm sayin'.

I also think that the question was gerne-based as well(meaning which decade was better for Heavy Metal between 90ies-00s)
