Default Which is the best Calvin Harris era?
Now that his Funk Wav Bounces era is ending (presumably)... there've been six 'eras' that I'll put in the poll.

But the 18 Months singles are hard to beat...

Torn between Ready for the Weekend and 18 Months, but I went with the latter just because I like more songs from it.

I didn't include these but they'd fit into the following era I guess:

Dance Wiv Me - would fit into 2007 since it came before RFTW.
We Found Love - 2011 / 18 Months
Spectrum (Say My Name) - 2011 / 18 Months

He also produced:

2009 (RFTW era) - In My Arms by Kylie, Hands by the Ting Tings
2011 (18 Months era) - Where Have You Been by Rihanna, Call My Name by Cheryl, Only the Horses by Scissor Sisters
2014 (no singles era) - I Will Never Let You Down by Rita, Ole by John Newman

I mean the 2009 era is a classic (Flashback is still one of his most underrated songs for me) but my actual answer would have to be the latter stages of the 18 Months era (Let's Go onwards, Thinking About You being my favourite single) into the early stages of Motion (Under Control, Summer and Blame)

This era has been a bit drab for me, the last single I really stanned was This Is What You Came For

2011 simply for Let's Go. That was an anthem for my Summer then.
