What do you consider the greatest decades of music for the past 50 years?

[SintonFan]

I myself am partial to 80's music as that is what I mainly grew up listening to. I think with the electronic sound becoming more affluent and cheaper during this decade, musicians had new means to create different sounds. Also the 80's were somewhat more innocent in themes and was just considered fun.
I also like music from the 50's. New rock and country pioneers from the time explored avenues considered non-PC at the time and paved the way for what is now modern rock.
Please list your reasons. All answers are welcome.:)

The 80's ROCK!!!!

2 out of 3 out of my kids would agree with me!!;)

70's- how can you beat a decade that included CCR, Led Zepplin, the beginning of BOC, the Eagles, Buffalo Springfield, etc.?

And don't forget the Village People :doh:

[Ranger Mom]

I grew up with the songs of the 60's and 70's and still like them. But I was a teenager in the early 80's and have more memories of the music of that time.

Plus, I was a headbanger and the 80's was the decade of the big hair bands!!:D

ROCK ON!!!

Looky here.

What do you consider the greatest decades of music for the past 50 years?

Early seventies was great. If you're meaning seventies music was terrible after 1975, I agree 100%, bull. The disco scene in late 70's was a time in music most of us would like to forget. Although there are probably some ladies now in their forties who enjoyed watching Travolta move around in his tight pants.

My husband was ALL about disco. Picture this....1975, his Sr. prom....purple leisure suit and white platform shoes. :eek: His words...he was "stylin". :doh: Funny how he doesn't have any pictures. :devil: :devil:

I agree with 66 in the bridge gap between 60s and 70s but I was shocked to see not one person voted on the 50s and it was Elvis hit single Hound Dog Man in 1956 that really started rock and role. If I had known that I would have voted for the 50s to give them one vote.

Well, with that being said, I absolutely loved Elvis and I also loved the Beach Boys.

Back then, I hated country music....but that is what I listen to more than anything now....Texas Country!!

LOL! I love Nickelback & have a couple of their CD's. # 55 was quite surprised to know I actually owned something that wasn't Boston, AC/DC, Queen, etc. When we were on the way to Kingsville, I was singing along with something on the radio. He had the :eek: look on his face and asked, "You know this song???". (It was a Green Day song...)

[Ranger Mom]

I love their "Animals" song....it's not the nicest song I have ever heard, but I still like it.

Photograph is also a good one too!

If I had to pin it down to 10 years (decade), I would say 65-75 was the best "10 years" of rock n roll.

[Maroon87]

I was fortunate to have a sister that is 10 years older than me. As a result I was turned on to some of that good 70's rock at an early age (KISS, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Ted Nugent, etc.). In fact she gave me an 8-track of "Hotel California" for my 9th birthday. So I like that music but then I'm also partial to the 80's stuff that was big in jr. high and HS (U2, Van Halen, Rush, The Cure, The Police, etc.), so as a result I'd say the time between 1974-1989 was pretty good in my mind.:cool:

I think that while some of us that were teenagers in the late 60's and early 70's really appreciated the changes that came about because of Elvis and other artist from the 50's, we considered the music of the 50's to be somewhat cute and nice, but a bit tame for our taste, considering what was being placed on our plates at the time. While I will always consider Elvis the King, I somehow have a hard time picturing him on the stage at Woodstock. :D

[olddawggreen]

While I grew up in the late 60's and early 70's (do we ever really stop growing up between 15 and 30? ;) ), I also had the pleasure of going back to college at SWT in the early 80's and enjoyed the early days of MTV and the artist that made it such a success. :cool: :cool:

The 70's of course. Willie, Waylon, David Allen Coe, Jerry Jeff Walker. That was some great Texas style country music.

[BHBrave08]

WOOOO!!!!! THE 40's!!!!! Some good old fashioned roy rogers music.

How did you get hold of my leisure suit, pirate???

[Phil C]

What about the 40s? Remember that great song "Baby It's Cold Outside." Well actually it was in the 90s when I first heard it.
And don't forget the 30s great "Buddy Can You Spare a Dime."

[PPHSfan]

I too am a fan of Nickleback.

They have a cool sound.

I also like a rock band from a few years back called Matchbox 20.

Before that you have to go back a ways to find a good rock band in my opinion.

[PPHSfan]

I guess I should have included TRAIN, in the past few years. They are a little "soft" but have a great sound.

Not me brother, all I had to do was pop in a CCR CD.:D

ROFL! I'm a rock & roll girl, with a little bit of country, but I did listen to some disco...back in the day.

[Highschoolfan78]

Disco killed all good music... i'd had to go with the 60's, early 70's or 90's. These were all happy music with great messages whether it be political or not. What happened to happiness in music? Listen to any rock today and you'll understand why i ask that

[District303aPastPlayer]

Bon Jovi 87-89....
Slippery When Wet
New Jersey

gimme those two to listen to til forever and i wouldnt complain :)

[piratebg]

Since no one has really said anything about the 90s, I am going to have to go with the one band that single handedly knocked down metal, pop, rap, and everything else that was on the air at the time.........a little band known as NIRVANA.

[Eagle6Man]

Personally, I consider the Golden Age of music between 1966 to 1973.

The reason I feel that way may have been high school, and my time in the military.

Train absolutely receives my vote for recent rock.
That song "Calling all Angels!" is an incredible song.:clap:
.
lol
I have to admit I'm a Nickelback fan. I also like pretty much everything p4s posted too.
.
But when it comes to a single decade I can't ignore the 80's with their fresh new sounds and just plain fun music.

[/B] I loved the 90's music!! I was living in Dallas during the whole "grunge" explosion and got to see alot of great bands at Starplex. Local faves were Tripping Daisy, The Toadies, Reverend Horton Heat and Pantera. :thumbsup:

RHH always rocked at Trees in Deep Ellum. :) Ah, good times. :smoker:

[AP Panther Fan]

Hmmmmm.....I have thought about this one for awhile, and while I was a teenager in the 70's, it looks like I enjoyed the 80's music more.

Never have been a fan of the hard rock stuff, but always did (and still do) enjoy what was called "new wave" music back then i.e. The Cars, Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, B-52's, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Billy Idol etc.....

Now, Country is my preference...:D

[clayton7]

It just doesn't get any better than Van Halen and Boston.

[pancho villa]

Where is Jimmy Buffet from the 70's? He was awsome!
I am dating myself but the 70's were great.

[Highschoolfan78]

most popular music today is horrible. The 90's tried to create music with the influences of older music within the sounds of thirdeyeblind, blind melon, matchbox 20, eve 6. It was contemporary music with alot of influences from the 65 to 75 range. I do agree that disco killed the 70's, but what were the guys thinkin in the 80's with the hair? lol.. Good music came out of the 80's, but a great deal of bad stuff came out as well. for example, video killed the radio star, the locomotion, new kids on the block.. enough said.. Music today that is popular in the emo/screamo scene does not take that much talent to produce. Texas music today reinverts more of the old rock'n'roll than the millineum's rock music. hopefully in a few years the 60's influence will come back in rock, but i highly doubt it. Just pass the mic and scream and you got yourself a hit
