What decade had the best music?

[skye]

even before the 1920s....Chopin....Mozart....

My God ....open your minds people....

MUSIC is beautiful.....from way back then.....yes? yes.

 

[Wyatt earp]

I like '86-'89 with a tiny bit of '90, '91 and '92 right before those misery inducing little grunge jerkoffs came along and ruined my good mood.

When Kurt Cobain blew his noggin off, I celebrated. Sorry, but I did. I hated that dweeb.

But I like 70s country music.

Modern country sucks. How they even get away with calling it country is beyond me.

yea, today's country music is kind of like pop music with a little twang

but now they have rapping country and that's so far out of the ball park of being 'country' it's unrecognizable

Some asshole tried to get me to listen to it and I threw his phone in the bushes a few weeks ago ...

Here's some country rap from 1970. I was in Germany in Nov '70 and it was the most requested song on Armed Forces Radio Network for about one month. Then the Department of Defense forbid AFN from playing it and took all the 45s out of the PX system. I have no idea why.

Informative and WOW!!!!!!

The 80's. While the 60's gave us Blue Oyster Cult, The Doors, and Pink Floyd, and the 70's evolved Zeppelin and Sabbath to super band status, I have to align myself (born in the very early 70's) with the nascence of Metallica and Megadeth, along with the 80's rock and pop scene--and glam rock legends. Just too many giants of Metal coming up out of the 70's primordial ooze to play: Icon, Sad Wings, Iron Maiden, Metal Church, Dio, Paradise Lost, etc.

BOC first LP was 1972....

Actually talking the words (not singing) has been around for years even before this...….but I don't know that I'd call it rap, just sayin

It doesn't go by decades. To many, the ultimate era of music began with the Merseybeat in England that matured in the latter 60's to become the British Invasion and culminated with the evolution of jazz at the same time by Miles Davis to incorporate blues and rock that lead to the Jazz-Rock Fusion era of the early 70's along with rock and hard rock in general, with its crescendo being hit by the mid-70's.

That was music. I love classical music, military band marches and folk music.

I like modern country it reminds me of 80s pop music..

I don't know what was the best decade but I hated the mid ~ late 1970s

the 70's were GREAT, with the EXCEPTION of DISCO.... which I presume that is what you are talking about from the mid 70's onward???

Most people's favorite music is the decade that they were teenagers

Hmmm: most of my teens were in the 70s; still prefer 60s music.

Some asshole tried to get me to listen to it and I threw his phone in the bushes a few weeks ago ...

What do you think about this? It's some kinda flute or something. Or a horn, I guess.

Hmmm.....Not sure, but she's welcome to blow My horn anytime!

By 75 most of those were past their best. Led Zeppelin4 was their best imo. Abba were actually quite good.
