In this edition, I make the claim that no artist or genre actually has a heyday. The music’s quality, sales, and/or critical success all peak at some point, but not always at the same time. Often an artist’s or genre’s best work comes after the popularity has waned, and even after critics have stopped paying attention. How do YOU define heyday? Do you agree with my assessments? What artists do you think did (or are still doing) better work than when they were the most popular, or most beloved by critics? Are there artists/genres you think DID have a heyday, and everything after that doesn’t measure up? Discuss dammit!
