What was the most diverse time period for music?

I think it could of easily been the late 60's / early 70's. You had bands like Led Zepplin & Ozzie but others such as Temptations and the Four Tops and you cant forget about the beetles and Elvis. This was an amazing time period.

But I got to thinking about the mid 90's and the emergance of Rap and Hip-Hop to mainstream all the while Hair bands and Grunge were still rocking.

What are your thoughts?

I would honestly say right now. There are so many sub-genres of sub-genres of music that I can't even begin say. The main genres might be Oldies, Rock, Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Techno, Electronica, Classic, Metal.......and there are so many sub-genres and so forth. Today, there are so many different sounds within each genre that some people don't even recognize that what they are hearing is music. In the early 60's and 70's, people might acknowledge that what they are hearing is a certain type of music and they don't like it, but today, you could hear a piece of music and not even be able to identify it.
