"90’s, got Pearl jam, Alice in chains , soundgarden , pantera , nirvana, stone temple pilots , faith no more , slipknot , Dillinger escape plan , machinehead , Kyuss, Foo fighters ....amazing stuff " Finally, someone who talks sense... | |||
"The forties. The 1740s" • You're 'looking' good for a bicentennial Mød rocker. | |||
"The forties. The 1740s I remember them well

"Any decade during the 1600s. Those jesters, harlequins, minstrels and the under-appreciated wilburys never knew how much they inspired future generations." Yep, Gibbons, Buxtehude, Pachelbel… especially the last one! Bet the majority of married people on this thread had his Canon played at their Wedding! Bet he didn’t go to bed having written it and thought to himself, “Yep, rocking tune I‘ve made up there! In a few centuries it‘ll be played at every bloody Wedding in Europe!“ ?????? | |||

"The forties. The 1740s I remember them well

I would have been helping Mr Handel write his Messiah
Alleluia ! You got it "Well, I wasn‘t thinking so much of Handel, although what he did to democratise music and bring it to the masses is, for its time, probably on a par with Beatlemania in the 60s and arguably surpasses it for its continuing historic legacy. Handel died in 1759 so I‘d have quoted the 1750s for his best work. No, the prize for the 1740s has to go to THE master musician of them all, J S Bach who died in 1750 and was therefore at the height of his powers in the 1740s. His legacy to music down the ages is just far too enormous to adequately express, and reaches far beyond just the erudite and hallowed confines of Western art music. | |||

"your teenage and early 20’s years is likely to define your answer" Can’t say it does for me. That would be the 90’s and for me that’s a definite no. In the 70’s you have the ska, disco and funk as well as soul and R&B. Come on, if they hadn’t happened where would we all be? | |||
"You could just rename this thread "what decade were you a teenager?""  | |||

"• ^ I think he's got a Handel on it.
I now just need a Chopin Liszt for my online musical purchases. | |||

"your teenage and early 20’s years is likely to define your answer" For a lot of people that is likely to be true…. But some of us still find a thrill out of listening to and going to see new music by musicians more than half our age….. So every decade is good…. | |||

"As far as rock music goes, definately the 70's." Totally agree Sabbath, Zepplin, Deep Purple list could go on | |||

80s doesn’t do rock………"Queen were around in the 80s (to a lesser extent) Metallica took off (metal, would you class rock completely separately?!) But apart from the current period, 80s are my least favourite, especially totally electronic stuff from that era. I'm a 50/60/70s aficionado (but born in 1985 ) | |||

Though yes! The 80's were good for music | |||

The years are littered with bands and artists that produced poor quality product " Nope very objective, in general, across all the decades, the 60s, 70s, 90s, 00s,10s, 20s, have better music that the 80s. Talking high level, not too sure about the 2020s though, but only just started | |||
