What's your fave decade for music and why???

Question

What did you like about it? Who did you like in it? What are your fave songs? ETC.♥

Answer 1

The 80's. Hair bands.
They wrote fun songs with great chorus', THE BEST guitar work to this date. Vocals/Harmonies were INCREDIBLE.

Everyone made fun of the look, but it was a blast to watch a FUN show. Nobody from the 90's or this decade put on entertaining shows.

90's ruined it. All they talked about was depression, being miserable, suicide.............. boo, boo,booo!!

This decade is a total mess in music right now. Nothing memorable.

Thank the record company's for that.

The 70's were cool too....
Lot's of musical experimental stuff.
But hard to grasp for the average listener.

This whole answer was obviously based on Rock music.

Answer 2

Not an actual decade but it spans one - 1965-1975
during this period everyone had something to say about something. The Vietnam war, political corruption, racism, sexism, drugs. Although these problems have always existed within this time frame musicians were able to connect with ALL races and generations and still do.
Favorite songs are impossible to name because there are so many out there that "speak the truth." As for favorite artists I would say: The Beatles, The Who, The Doors, Led Zeppelin.
Explore music from all styles (rock, country, blues, r&b) from all eras (the 90's,80's, as far back to the 40's) you'll be amazed as to what you will learn and how you are not much different than those before you.

Answer 3

1970s. Simply the best rock ever. The sixties were good, but the creativity and variety of the 70s, particularly what was called "art rock", was absloutely incredible. Genesis, Yes, Camel, Electric Light Orchestra, Cars, Dire Straits, Boston, Emerson Lake and Palmer. I could go on and on there are so many fabulous bands. Also, recording techniques improved dramatically during the 70s. The female duo Heart was very picky about the sound of their recordings and live concerts. I got to see a special pair of speakers that were used in Heart concerts call "Blue Ox" made by a Sacramento company called ESS which were incredibly accurate. I still have a home version of ESS speakers and have yet to hear anything clearer. My avatar was taken around the end of the 70s and you can see how happy I was listening to my stereo.

Answer 4

I'm a fan of the 70s, mostly because that's when I first started listening. You have the Prog Rock of the early 70s, the pop-type rock of the Stones, The Who and Queen through the mid 70s, and you have the beginnings of New Wave and Punk in the late 70s.

Of course, there's that brief bit with Disco, but pretty much every decade has its music to be ashamed of.

Answer 5

90's and the late 80's. I liked all the big hair bands--they all had great voices and that is not the way it is today. I still like some of the alternative rock groups to day and other rock --especially Train, Creed, 3 Doors Down, Linkin Park, Bon Jovi, Nickel Back, Staind and others.
But in the past I love and still do love--Bad Company, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Steel Heart, Aerosmith and Ozzy and many others. Plus Reo Speed wagon.

Answer 6

1970's. People had wised-up. War is inevitable as are the fools that propagate it; music was pure human experience, not computer enhanced. Analog music, which is how you hear didn't leave us edgy and brutal as we are today. Drugs were more pure, and not as addictive as the music was. The .44 Magnum WAS the most powerful handgun in the world, and Dirty Harry was a more reaslitic character than the computer generated X-Man today; as is the music; any wannabe with a computer could augment their voice to get ahead. Started years ago,... ask Milli Vanilli,.. middle two thirds of the 1980s otherwise; somewhere two thirds through though rock started to die.

Answer 7

60's. Because of the growth and progress. Starting with the folk music revival led by Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. Then seeing folk music almost obliterated by The Beatles and the English Invasion. And then as the 60's wound down, all the marvelous bands like Creedence(USA), Steppenwolf(Germany), Doors(USA), The Guess Who(Canada).

Answer 8

I like music from the late 80s and early 90s cos this was when I was just getting into music in a big way! Think from about 1986 to maybe 93 or 94. I love early techno from that period, I know it's daggy now, but I loved it back then!

Answer 9

undemanding: 70's, 80's and ninety's Least undemanding: i'm no longer prepared on the 00's. certain there have been some good bands contained in the early 00's yet from 07 it went downhill. you somewhat could hunt for the hidden gem stones now.

Answer 10

The 70s of course, you had some folks mentioned here you had a lot of great rock acts of the day, but you also had a lot of jazz and funk acts that were great too like The Ohio Players,Tower Of Power, EWF, P-Funk, The Crusaders, Return To Forever, War, and The Commodores.
