00s indie for me. The Strokes (Is This It could have been made in any decade from the 60s onward) The White Stripes, Bloc Party and the Libertines first album.
The electroclash dance scene; Emerge by Fischerspooner / Silver Screen by Felix da Housecat. We could include LCD soundsytem and Le Tigre in this.
Who doesn't remember the first Arctic Monkeys album dropping? Arcade Fire and The Rapture.
For me tho, the holy trinity of 2008ish debuts by MGMT, M83 and Empire of the Sun are everything that sums up the good times back then before the world fell apart. |

90's for both the general indi pop stuff (Stone Rises, Oasis, Pulp etc) and the rave / dance music - (TTF, QFX, JX, Amen UK, Love decade, Dream frequency, Energy 52, Usura, Jagga etc). I also loved the Hitman And Her!!! |

80s/90s/early 2000
And trance back then too, ode to go back to the nightclubs to see everyone in unison having fun and losing themself in the music
Cause now its all manufactured music and the new generation spends most their time instagraming their nights out
Id rather go back and sing
All i wanna do is do it - Kevin and perry the legends! |

90’s. Britpop, dance/trance and hip hop were all so good. Even half the stuff you hated back then you’ll find yourself singing along to it when you hear it on the radio. |

These are the sounds of my teenage years and I love em, but If I'm picking and not random playing it's,
60/70s if I'm feeling cool
80s if I want cheering up
90s if I'm a bit of a grump and just going with it  |

Razorlight
Arctic monkeys
Kaiser chiefs
Muse
Prodigy
The gossip
Franz Ferdinand
The killers
The fratellis
The strokes
The coral
Travis Keane
Coldplay

The list goes on but it reminds me of fun free days pre becoming a young Mum and having to grow up very quickly.

I don't really have a favourite era. The music I listen to is from all eras and a lot of rock music is timeless.
I would say though that the mainstream music scene started its death throes in the late 80s with the advent of house music and has been going downhill since.

90s/00s for me. A lot of them linked to memories of my youth and the discovery punk, ska and a general broadening of my horizons away from the pop of the day. They were exciting days of discovery before easy access to music on the Internet. Staying up late to hear/watch alternative music programming and the adventure of completion Tapes/CD's from certain record labels showcasing their bands. I was always a bit of an odd ball so most of what I discovered I had to discover my self because it wasn't really what the people around me were into.

"Early Eighties"
Yeah. 80’s for me. But proper 80’s, not the shite that gets trotted out at stuff like Rewind Festival.
60’s was transformational, some brilliant stuff, but 80’s for me, with 90’s a close second.
10’s would be the worst, and 20’s is going the same way. The miserable warbling shite that passes for r and b these days is a just a disgrace. And too much current material could be filed under “angry boasty shite” |

67 to 77 had everything. Pretty much everything from The Beatles to The Sex Pistols and every genre in between. And no Chris Martin or Ed Sheeran in sight.  |

"Which decade(s) really depend on your age and when you grew up"
Largely true, but I coach sports teams, and all the young adults I know for that seem to listen to 80’s and 90’s rather than current / recent material.
But I get the point and agree with you. I came across a programme over Christmas that covered the best music from 84 / 85, and that took me back to my schooldays, all sorts of memories coming back |

The music you listen to from ages 16 to 27 is the music you will always hold dear and tends to make you nostalgic. Its no surprise the older you get the more you don't easily relate to what's going on in the music scene currently. Also because the older you get what you are hearing from new bands has more than likely been done before.
Some bands will always just be shit. Coldplay anyone? |

Most on the list? Seriously?
Travis were still releasing in the 00s and prodigy released an album in the 00s, possibly the coral might've been late 90s. Pretty sure everything else was 00s |

"Most kids I know listen to stuff from the last century rather than post 2000. So it’s not just me that thinks that current material is largely shite! "
I noticed that. Stayed up drinking with the older kids. Most of the songs they were playing and singing along to were 90s hits. To be fair I think there's a bit of a 1990s revival at the moment (including the need for huge steering wheel locks again). Having said that I remember in the 90s kids having a revival of 60s ish stuff and I bet my parents were thinking the same as you back then. |

Tricky. My parents were both WW2 veterans and had us later I'm life so I was a 60's baby listening to war songs and Vera Lynn, the 70's was glam rock, musicals and Striesand and the 80's passed me by a bit when I had my babies so I'm going to have to go for 60's-70's |

Why we choosing for?
There is no 90s Brit pop without the influence of the 60s and 70s so surely it has to be between those teo years?
You have soul, funk, rock and roll and disco between those decades!!! |

Apparently 'Seikilos epitaph' is the oldest ever musical composition. The short set of lyrics go ...
"While you live, shine / Have no grief at all / Life exists only for a short while / And time demands its toll.”
Is that not quite a mantra on how one should live life? |

Deep is a decent tune, Steam, It's Alright, they were the best of an atrocious bunch. Their version of West End Girl's is better than the original. |

Tony wrote the tunes he's the brain's of the operation apparently and probably the only one with a pot to piss in now days I'd say. Which dosnt say alot. Brian apparently did 20 Es in one night and stated this publicly which was the downfall of his career. Also his fondness for patatos sealed his fate.
