So many choices!

I like music from the 1930s to the present plus classical. I've seen so many comments on YouTube about how a certain generation's music was the best, but there are some really excellent artists out there today as well, at least I think so. It actually gets to the point where I wind up not listening to anything because I don't know what I feel like. At other times, I wear a song out. Also, as I get older, there are some songs I hear again, and I am like "What was I thinking!" I am of the opinion that good music stays good, but I guess things do change with age.
On a bit of a side note, I found it very interesting that Robert Plant says this is one of the best songs ever recorded[media=https://youtu.be/4uJ90GgUrxQ]
(it's an old favorite of mine). Uh, I did read that online though...so if it seems far-fetched, well.

I love Mario Lanza ! I used to listen to my parents’ albums as a child.

I enjoy artists from just about every genre but my favorites are Classical and Jazz.

@bijouxbroussard I listen to Mario Lanza's Christmas album every Christmas. I particularly fond of "Guardian Angels" by Harpo Marx and lyricist Gerda Beilenson

Remember, most of the great composers in past generations who went on to be considered the best were ignored, condemned as too avant-garde or dissonant in their life time.

It's good to be open to other genres, even when your first choice is something else.

Most of the claims of "the best" genres / artistes / eras boil down to the fan's own tastes, not any sort of objective judge of quality.

They might enjoy something that might be popular but is either artistically empty and lacking in originality and ability, or on the highest technical, creative and emotional levels.

There will always be excellent composers and performers, but there will also be many who are poor and soon vanish back into ordinary life, and this has always been so.

Good music is good music no matter genre or time period, from Palestrina to Bad Bunny .
