id say 70s but id go up to 83. after that forget it

90s dance (only) was brilliant but 90s in general was fkng awful save Oasis and The Verve

[glib]

For me, the 70s. Thank god that era put an end to the Beatles. Although some of their solo work from 1971 was good (My Sweet Lord, It Don’t Come Easy).

Mostly the 70s as it was such a varied and exciting decade. We start it with Simon & Garfunkel ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ and end it with the likes of Gary Numan and ‘Cars’. We also get a fantastic selection of artists in this era who are still household names today; ABBA and 10cc to name two off the top of my head.

My thoughts exactly, hate 90s.
Maybe only go up to 81 or 82 though… :fan:

Was listening to a lot of The Associates today

The 00's had a decent range and quality of Music imo.

You could go from One Step Closer to Dry Your Eyes to White Flag to then songs like Akon's Lonely & Muse's Plug In Baby.

The Music is not as diverse at the moment.

The 90's & 70's have some really strong songs too though.

The 90's

[Alf]

Torn between the 60s and 70s but opted for the 70s

You left out the 50s which was the birthplace of Rock and Soul/Motown.

[LaLaLand]

Probably 70’s on a really fundamental level - so much new variation and experimentation with different genres of music trickling into the mainstream after the 60’s ended. So I voted for that.

Personally for me though, 90s all the way. From Britpop and Europop to the classic hip hop/R&B from the States and more. Bliss.

1975 was a cr*p year for music

[glib]

I felt like I should have included number ones in there, but also some good songs that didn’t top the chart, so I mixed them

[Cherie]

80s pressed the wrong one on the poll

[bots]

70's without a doubt. There were so many really great bands at the peak of their trade. Even the charts were filled end to end with good stuff

Ok so other than the awful, short lived period of these bands in the 90s, which I would put 91-93, what else is so good about 94-99? Spice Girls? :nono: take that? :nono: Oasis? :nono:

????

Pearl Jam, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers are still together and touring. Guns N Roses are on/off together. And the singers from both Soundgarden and Nirvana are dead. So no you're very wrong about these bands "period" being 91-93

Love the Britpop 90's yeah Osais, Blur, Supergrass, Pulp, The Verve, Suede, Stereophonics, Travis, Catatonia, Manic Street preachers, Black Grape, Ash etc

And a few of my other favourites Greenday, Alanis Morissette, No Doubt. Just off the top of my head

[GoldHeart]

I'm always torn between 80s & 90s , I wish I had a time machine to go back to the 80s as I grew up in the 90s really.

[user104658]

I don't think it's really possible to do it as "a decade" because there's too much overspill at either end. Basically I'd say the 80's overall but as a 20 year span, 1975 - 1995.

So you’re trying to say 1975 and 1995 had music resemblant of the 80s? ***** off. 1979 and 1990 sure.

[Daniel.]

2000's as it's the decade I grew up in, but the 90's had some fantastic artists and bands at their peak or arriving - Nine Inch Nails, PJ Harvey, Bjork, Nirvana, Slipknot, Hole.

80's were good, 70's were fine and had some classics but along with the 60's was too full of boring dad rock bands.

This is true, take the 80s for example, the early 80s were the working bands from the late 70s, whilst the late 80s, were manufactured piss.

It should be an overlapping poll.

But then you got other bands late 80s like the stone Rose's, and the rest of the manchester scene...taking us into the early 90s, which was also let down by its later years.

If I ask anyone else about these groups they will say ‘80s groups’, so you select 80s on the poll

1) , peak 1982-1984
2) , peak 1982/83
3) peak 1980/1
4) 1983-86

The Manchester scene was bloody awful let’s face it

That's a good joke.:hehe:

Tbf Oasis and Take That aren't bad groups.

Plus there was Blur, Stereophonics, Radiohead and of course Aqua.:joker:

90's was definitely my second choice for anyone that cares.:laugh:

[glib]

There’s a pattern , Everyone who voted 60-80s, is under 25 , meanwhile all the 90-2010s are middle aged

think again :laugh:

[Nicky91]

00's for me, my teen years :love:



and music wise, i count 00's decade also with songs from late 90's (since most of those became hits in my nation in the 00's)


nederpop (dutch language pop) has always been quite fun here, 00's has been lesser popular than other years but i personally liked it back then

[Vicky.]

00s I think. But 80s stuff is pretty decent too. As a DJ it was almost always 80s stuff I was asked for. Pretty much constantly which I think put me off a lot of it as I heard it too much :laugh:
