Music Decade

Creampuff · 11-03-2007, 06:45 PM

It seems the youngsters rule these polls, time to prove this point.
I vote for the 70s, the decade of real music.
eg: Eagles,Fleetwood Mac,Pink Floyd,ELO,Bowie,Disco,Glam,Punk..etc

**TUF_302** · 11-03-2007, 06:49 PM

I voted for the 80s, Thats when Metallica really where on top, also the likes of nirvana where around! even if they werent around very long!

AU2PWR · 11-03-2007, 07:01 PM

the Past is the Past .. Real Music Died in 2000 , get with the times

Ryan · 11-03-2007, 07:06 PM

I was born in the era I love. The 80s.... :sm_headba

I also like late 70s, and early 90s, but new music just doesn't appeal to me, with a few expections.

I do like Nickelback.

the_scotsman · 11-03-2007, 07:21 PM

6 votes for the 80s.......*cringes*

robjh80 · 11-03-2007, 08:02 PM

"OMG..........what an almost impossible question to ponder"

Such great work has been achieved over pretty much any decade.
In the end I had to vote 80's although I would much rather had voted "Late 70's through to Late 80's" perhaps.

Here are some of the Masterpieces "IMHO" that were achieved during that era,

1979: Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures, Pink Floyd - The Wall

1981: The Cure - Faith, U2 - October

1982: Dire Straits - Love Over Gold, Haircut 100 - Pelican West

1983: Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

1984: Cocteau Twins - Treasure, This Mortal Coil - It'll End in Tears

1985: The Smiths - Meat is Murder, The Waterboys - This is the Sea

1988: Talk Talk - The Spirit of Eden

the 80's.

thats where metal, especially the thrash scene really took off. i love it.

Steffo · 11-03-2007, 08:17 PM

70's, bar none.

Scareybear · 11-03-2007, 08:23 PM

Sorry can't vote, there's no "all of the above" option.

ditto. music is timeless.

GXL078 · 11-03-2007, 08:27 PM

1970s without a doubt. But can tolerate music up to about 1985.
New music is SHITE. That latest song by U2 sounds like they wrote it in 5 minutes, very weak, and James Blunt.... well he's just PITIFUL, it's true.

Kryton · 11-03-2007, 08:49 PM

hard one to vote on.
there has been some real gems from each decade and there has been some utter garbage as well each decade as well.
actually, as i have an appreciation for all forms of music, i choose not to vote on a singular decade.

**Fordman1** · 11-03-2007, 09:06 PM

80's

Just some super groups:

U2
Pick Floyd
Police

Were at or getting near their best.

There are many more.

RG · 11-03-2007, 09:12 PM

90's, how can you go past Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins.

Best music era EVER!!!!

Then there's bands like Faith No More which I can't seem to get around taking out of the CD stacker. On top of that a bunch of metal bands that came to the fore in the 90's and are still going now

I was a teeneager in the 80s, so LOVE (early) 80s music, was my scene. I had the LPs (and my 1st CDs), the haircut and the fashions!

Yello, Depeche Mode, The The, Propoganda, OMD, U2, Police, Midnight Oil, Stan Ridgeway, the pogues, Weddngs Parties Anything, all 80s bands.

Im also a HUGE Pink Floyd/Roger Waters Fan.
However Pink Floyd were really a 60s/70s band, by the 80s they were in disarray and tearing themselves apart. The only studio album they recorded in th 80s (final cut) was outtakes and leftovers from The wall (79) with a few extra tracks. And really was a Roger Waters album, with help from Nick and Dave (no Rick). OH I guess AMLoR can slip in, but it was a DAve Gilmour project with haelp from RIck and Nick, and was far from "At their best"

I second this, although some of my favorites started out in the 80's, but also carried on with it in the 90's.

The Monty · 11-03-2007, 09:11 PM

I went the 50's. I really really wish I was alive back then, so I could have been a greaser.

Never heard of a greaser. Back then you were either 'Mod' (clean cut type) or 'Rocker' (Brylcream and leather jacket) so you would have been a Rocker.

I wanted late 70's early 80's but I had to go for the '70s.

If you live in England maybe. But here in Aus you were either a Bodgie ( Rocker ) or a wedgie ( Alternative Type ), i had uncle's who were both.

As for music 1970s there was nothing good done after 1979.

Mongoose · 11-03-2007, 10:09 PM

70's for everything, music, fashion, automotive achievments etc etc it was the best decade of the 20th century. Shame i wasnt around to enjoy it :(

Ralliart · 11-03-2007, 10:12 PM

Agreed. 70's for me too.

eb_5litre · 11-03-2007, 10:11 PM

The 80's had prime Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden etc etc.... thats my choice.

kraddy · 11-03-2007, 10:52 PM

I am a dyed in the wool metal head, but I gre up listening to The Eagles alot, and to this day still love them. Hotel California has to be one of the best songs ever written IMO, so this vote is very hard for me!
