Favorite Music Decade
So, which one is it?
For me, I totally love the 80's. BIIIGGG fan of 80's hair metal- the guitars are ridiculous! |
I adore almost everything about the '70s... the music, movies, art, architecture, clothing, etc. The one holdout for me regarding the '70s is the cars... it was an abysmal time for the automobile. :distress:
|
Tough call between the 70's and 80's for me. :eek:
|
Tie between 40's & 60's.
|
'20s thru the '50s for me. That's when all the great pop standards were written, plus the blues & jazz genres were fully perfected during that time. I like a lot of post-Beatles rock & pop, but if you ask me to pick between pre-rock blues & jazz, and the rock & pop of the '60s and after, I'm gonna go with the pre-rock stuff every time. It's infinitely more interesting & satisfying to me in every way.

The 80's...
because that was the era when I decided to find music of my own taste that wasn't anything that my parents or siblings had listened to...
Besides, I was the person in high school who had to give reviews of the concerts I have seen the previous night to many a friend - even if I couldn't hear what was asked to me :thumbsup: |
1960's for folk-rock revolution! This was the decade of great pop albums, Beach Boys, Motown, Velvet Underground, the start of Zeppelin, rock 'n roll and psychedelic tunes, unapologetic peace anthems. Everything seemed so experimental, however, true, like songs of the '60s had to be sung.

90s. :nod:

I'm totally a sixties baby

Misplaced 70's child over here! Totally should have born in the late 50's so I could have been old enough to fully appreciate the 60's blues boom and 70's punk.

70's folks! Aside from some of my favorite bands getting started (Van Halen, Iron Maiden, etc.), others in their heyday (Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, etc.), and even some making their best material (The Who, among others I can't quite think of right now lol), it was a great decade.
A runner-up would be the 80's. Great metal (thrash metal, New Wave of British Heavy Metal, even some hair metal) and you gotta love the pop from then too. |
Once I would've said the 80s, but now I'd have to say the (late) 60s, as I've fallen in love with psychedelic and progressive rock. :)

For me it's 60's and 70's. Even 80's had some really good stuff. After that it's all spotty. a couple good 90's bands. 00's for me is REAL spotty..pretty bare for me. Although one of my fav albums is fromm this past decade. John Mayer's Continuum

I'm almost 40 - but I gotta say some of the best music I've heard in my life is stuff from artists who made their debut in the last 15 years, so I picked the 2000's.

Well, considering some of my favorite songs from the 60's were actually WRITTEN in the 30s & 50s (can you say "Robert Johnson" & "Willie Dixon"? I knew that you could), I'm at a loss as to which decade I really can call my favorite.
20's & 30's: the heyday of Delta Blues 40's: Big Band swing 50's: BeBop & Bossa Nova Jazz, Electric Chicago Blues, (had a baby and it was called) Rock & Roll, Les Paul & Mary Ford 60's: Folk revival (including later in the decade, the Folk/ROCK movement), Surf music, British invasion (pop, rock & blues throughout the decade), Psychedelia 70's: Other than disco & punk later in the decade, what label can we give to the first half of the decade? Kind of a mixed bag o' stuff....singer/songwriters, Prog Rock (Yes, ELP, early Genesis), Art Rock (Kinks, Bowie, Roxy Music, etc), Jazz Fusion (Weather Report, Return To Forever), Reggae 80's: "New Wave", "Post Modern", "Hair Metal", Ska, "urban cowboy" 90's: Grunge & "New" Country Y2K's: ??? 70's & 80's retro-revival 10's: American Idol I guess not so much my favorite "decade"...but "Half Century" would be from the 20's through the 70's (with a bit of emphasis on 60's & 70's, since those were my peak music discovery years). |
It's close but I went with the 80's.
Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, Dio, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns n' Roses, Def Leppard, The Clash, Depeche Mode, Prince, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson. etc. |
I voted for 1820-1830.
I mean, come on. You couldn't beat it. Beethoven Missa Solemnis Symphony No. 9 Piano Sonatas 30, 31, & 32 String Quartets 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 Opferlied Op. 122b Diabelli Variations Bagatelles Op. 126 Schubert Rosamunde D Minor Symphony Die schöne Müllerin Winterreise String Quartet in A Minor Masses in A Flat & E Flat B Minor Symphony C Major Symphony "Death & the Maiden" String Quartet Final piano sonatas Rossini William Tell Berlioz Symphonie fantastique Waverly overture Mendelssohn String Octet "Midsummer Night's Dream" Overture Chopin Piano Concertos 1 & 2 |

seventies. also because of Tusk. And close to that, the nineties, when all the indie-rock-bands that got inspired by Tusk came to fruition, aside from grunge, that I love dearly too.
