Best Decade for Music

[puglover]

Pick your favorite.

Personally, I'm partial to the rock flavor of the '70s. After all, these were the years that gave us:
- Kansas
- Survivor
- Chicago
- Led Zeppelin
- Deep Purple
- Lynyrd Skynrd
- Eagles
- Fleetwood Mac

to name a few. What's your personal favorite decade for music?

 

[VX250]

60s.

1760s that is.

 

[CaptainF]

Depends on what genre of music.

Reggae: 1970's.

Hip Hop: 1990's

Rock n' Roll: 1970's

Jazz: 1960's

 

[VX250]

Music today stinks worse than a dead camel. Rap? Emo? Indie?

BOO!

Puglover-

What about Aerosmith?

(I'll also throw Springsteen and Boston into the 70's mix.)

 

[EconomistBR]

60s.

1760s that is.

I was going to make that joke!!!!

Wait... maybe it is still funny

 

[EconomistBR]

50's

The 1450s that is

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

70's

I don't think I have to explain

 

[Grisu]

every decade had its highs and lows

for my taste, the best decades were the 70s and the 80s

 

[Arwon]

1976-1985 was the best period in music. It's proven by SCIENCE.

 

[philippe]

this decade, becuase we can still get the music from all those before us..

 

[Elta]

Scratch that vote of mine.

The 1920s - The rise of Mambo (which gave birth to Salsa, Merengue, Son, and Latin Jazz)**

Rise of Samba - (too many spin off genres to list)

Rise of Jazz - (*clears throat* .... all of American music, dare my musical theory teacher to even say country music too?)

Rise of Mariachi - and all the other regional music form Mexico that everyone likes to lump together as Mexican music even thou it all sounds very different (except Corridos which only drug runners listen too - and banda which is only good for dancing anyway )

*Remember Cumbia is Colombian ..... yeah I know Mexicans "stole it"

Rise of Bachata and Boleros too.



** I know Merengue is not directly from Jazz-Salsa but, you have to admit that it sounded WAY Different before the introduction of Jazz - calling that old stuff Merengue is like calling the American College marching band Salsa.

2000's. Music before the mid-90's sucked

 

[Sarcasticon]

2000's, in particular the early years (the innovation seems to have almost grinded to a halt, and there are fewer interesting bands emerging in the last few years). Never before such depth and heaviness was reached though some bands came close in the late nineties.
There's very little I like before 1980.

 

[Love]

2000+ Ofcourse... Maybe a bit 90.

 

[Yoda Power]

All decades have great music. I voted 80'ties, but could just aswell have voted something else.

 

[Godwynn]

every decade had its highs and lows

for my taste, the best decades were the 70s and the 80s

The above is the same for me.
