The music\u2019s quality, sales, and/or critical success all peak at some point, but not always at the same time. Often an artist\u2019s or genre\u2019s best work comes after the popularity has waned, and even after critics have stopped paying attention.\nHow 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\u2019t measure up? Discuss dammit!\nBONUS MxTRA VIDEO: THE OUTLIER SINGLE PHENOMENON\n\n~~~\n*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High"\n*mid roll music credit: The Drop - "Outerloper"\nLearn more about your ad choices.
