Your favourite decade of music

[JK]

Having a chat with the missus about the differences between the different decades of music.

Would be interested in which one posters preferred most and why?

(Apologies to Psyber that it only starts in the 50's)

90's win easily

90's win easily

Amen brother, the 90's was (or is that "were" ) awesome...

[GWW]

Definitely 80's for me.

I'd imagine for most people it would be the decade they spent the majority of their teenage years in.

I'd take the 90's (which were my 20's), although liked the 80's too

[dedja]

There are some older bastards around who were teenagers in the 70's ... just saying

[Footy Chick]

Definitely 80's as it's what I grew up with- but a big fan of 60's music too.. a lot of 60's songs are still classics today.

Not sure there will be many songs from the current era that people will still enjoy in 50 years time.

Abba and INXS were the only good thing to come out of the 70's

[GWW]

If I was to rank the decade since the 70's, not taking into account the 3 or so years before 2013, I would put it as:

80's
70's
90's
00's

Wiki tells me that INXS formed in '77, but didn't really do much in that latter period of the late 70's, and, they then went onto release their first single in 1980.

But yes I take the point they started in the 70's

In general terms, I'm not a huge fan of music in the first half a decade of the 70's, but I do rate the music from second half of the decade.

The 90s is my favourite decade, but I suspect that a lot of it has to do with generational bias.

There's music I love from most decades (late 70s punk, 80s hardcore, The Beatles etc), but for me, it all seemed to come together in the 1990s.

60s/70s for me. The era of the Supergroup. Cream, Led Zeppelin, Blind Faith, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull, Rolling Stones, Free etc.
Edit: as mentioned by Failed Creation,I forgot to include a reasonably successful band from Liverpool, The Beatles.

Good call on those bands mate, however I believe only Cream and Blind Faith were supergroups.

1976-1986 . Well it's more ten years than a decade

[southee]

1977 - 1987.

10 years of joy. So many genres and styles without fear of experimentation.

Music got a shot in the arm (so to speak) in early 1990's with grunge.....from there all the way downhill

Loved the early 90s but not for grunge. There was a little period just before Britpop got out of hand, where indie was threatening to take over that was really inspiring...of course when it did, it all went Kula Shaker

They were bloody awful, weren't they?

[Banker]

Current.

Soundcloud is freaking sweet for finding new music. Rarely listen to the radio these days.

[Booney]

Born bang in the middle of the 70's and that was the era that my music tastes were formed upon. My parents and older brother listening to alot of 60/70's music.

In order :

70's
90's
00's
60's
current and I dont even want to mention the 80's. Electro Brit pop shit.

[Magpiespower]

Pretty all over the shop...

- 1988-1992: Golden age of hip-hop.
- Late 70s-mid 80s Aussie pop
- 70s funk
- Looooove 80s synth pop.
