1970s for me, when Pink Floyd were at their peak. :P

Music has become, over the years, more-and-more about image, as opposed to what you actually hear. It's always been a balance in the industry but I think the turning point was when bands and acts starting putting out videos, that was mid-70s. Then in the 80s you had the start of MTV and the like, then in the 90s the manufactured boybands and girlbands, then reality TV shows in the 2000s. So an on-going thing.
