Late 19th century, when orchestras grew to a hundred strong, Wagner invented the Leitmotif, and the Impressionist composers kept things from getting too heavy.
What a time to be a concert-goer that must have been...
I LOVE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC...AND MY TOP FIVE FAVORITE BANDS/ARTISTS ALL TIME KIND OF MAKE A LIAR OUT OF MY ANSWER HERE...BUT...THE 90S...ALTERNATIVE,SKA,POP-PUNK...THESE ARE THE FORMS OF MUSIC I LIKE ALMOST UNIVERSALLY.

I really dig madrigals, esp. Byrd, Weelkes and Gesualdo (he was like the Zappa of his time), mostly from the late 1500s to early 1600s.
Won't get too deep with art/classical music, other than to say though I might love the Baroque period best, as a Bach fanboi. I love pretty much all Mozart period, Beethoven's and Mahler's symphonies, and have a deep and personal affection for most of Stravinksky's output.
1920s: Louis, Naftule Brandwein
30s: Django, Benny, Robert Johnson, Bob Willis
tl;dr: Don't have one. As G&G said: great music was made in every year/era.
Don't let this post lead you to believe I wouldn't nerd out about all kinds of music up to about 2019. Still catching up.zzz
Late 60's and early 70's for hard rock. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep etc.
