Your favourite decade for music is...?

[e@rs]

The 90s. 2 Unlimited! Macarena! Hellooo???

[Ridan]

Macarena!

Nooo!! Every decade had its blights on society. why pick on the 90's?

[whyterabbyt]

If I had to choose then reluctantly the 80s. From talking heads 'remain in light', Laurie Andersons 'big science' etc through the blossoming of the post punk bands, Husker Du, Minutemen, early REM, big black, sonic youths best stuff, throwing muses....

Then nirvana came along and ruined everything...

(and also the rise of edm of course)

The real innovators of many music genres appeared in the 1950s and had a big influence for a long time:
Rock (Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis);
Country (Hank Williams, George Jones);
Rockabilly (Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins);
Folk (Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Odetta);
Jazz (Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk);
Latin Rock (Richie Valens) and Caribbean music (Harry Belafonte);
The Nashville Sound, and Motown started then;
the electric guitar (Les Paul);
Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.

By that calculation I am 81 years old

Indeed. That theory checks out for me.

+1

Every decade has a rogues gallery, here is a quick collection:

60's Whistling Jack Smith - I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman (top 5 hit)
70's The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band - The Floral Dance (top 2 hit)
80's The Tweets - Birdie Song (top 2 hit)

The music I love the most was recorded when I was 5-10 years old, but as I didn't really start to listen to records before I was 12, I had to rewind to find the best bits

Makes sense. The most memorable moments of my life happened between those ages. After about 25-27 things started to slow down a little once life started handing me more responsibility. Though, i was 15 in 2000, but voted "90's". Still very close though.

[whyterabbyt]

It kind of makes sense though. I mean, the 80's did have Depeche Mode.

yeah, but fortunately I was able to overlook that.

You missed the 1950s which set the bar for awfulness with Pat Boone -- "See the USA in your Chevrolet" and everything else he sang. He was #2 for the 50s behind Elvis.

Not sure if i would've liked them much back then if i were old enough to appreciate music, but now i can get into the cheese they grate on certain days.

I was a die hard DM fan in '85 and still am today, altough their latest albums aint my thing
