Subject: Best Decade for Music

Posted by: lez
Date: Apr 29 19

For me it has to be the 1960's
The 50's gave us Rock and Roll which changed music forever, but the 60's continued that and added some amazing Pop music as well as Motown and other great Soul music. Plus it gave us 'The Beatles' 'Beach Boys' and 'The Rolling Stones' also 'The Monkees' 'The Hollies' and a host of other innovative artists and bands.
The clothes were awful, but this thread is about muisc :-)

My first instinct tells me the 1960's. I thought about it some more, compared artists, thought of my favorite bands and songs.

My conclusion? My first instinct was right: the 1960's!

Here's what it all boils down to for me. You know that word you do to the end of a straw to get liquid to come up through it? Well, in my opinion, there was no music at all that did that in the 60s. All of it was good. It wasn't until the 70s when music began to do that, and there was a lot of it going on. However, at the same time, the 70s were definitely the most creative years that rock music has ever experienced, and by the end of the 80s, everything that could be done with rock music had basically, in some way, shape or form, had already been done. Don't take my word for it by all means, all you have to do is listen.

I'll say this much, in the days of my youth I was told what it means to be a man. And now, well, now I've reached the age I've tried to do all those things the best I can. The thing is, no matter how I try, I find my way to the same old jam.

I like the music of the 'thirties, 'forties, and 'sixties. The thirties because I really like classic ballads by Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, and the like. The forties because I love big band, swing, and jazz. The sixties because of all the great folkies around then - Seeger, Dylan, Baez, Buffy, and the rest, and I still think that the Beatles was one of the best groups ever!

1970's
The 1960's taught the 1970's how to rock.

Each decade has its merits and great songs and a lot of it depends on the type of genre a person likes as to what they will choose..

Probably the 80s. It was the decadal renaissance when everything went onto the table: new wave, hip hop, southern rock, synth-pop, metal, glam, techno, electronic. As soon as Madonna and The Go-Go's kicked in the door, the 80s were just bum rushed with great female acts. Lots of big comebacks for previously-established bands as well: Foreigner, Styx, AC/DC. Early-to-mid 90s great too.

It depends on when the person you ask grew up. Each person has a different answer.

This is a question that doesn’t have a right or wrong answer.

70s, when the likes of Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes and Led Zeppelin were at their peak.

I was born in the 50s, so for me the 70s were the best of everything. I was in-to Heavy Rock/Rock, however some of the bands from the late 60s also pulled my strings, no pun intended.

I can't limit it to a decade, but most of the 19th century did well for me.

90s for me, not that there's anything wrong with any other decade.
