Late 60s early 70s....a golden era for rock and the blues boom in the UK.

I don't think I could choose either.

Was watching a programme on the 80's yesterday though and The Police - Every Breath You Take was supposedly the number 1 track from then. Didn't get that myself !

I was a 50s boy so my earliest musical interests were from the late 60s.

I've been watching 80's music on YouTube all afternoon, for me definitely the best era....

1. Joy Division.

2. Cult.

3. Billy Idol.

4. Happy Mondays.

I could go on...

The correct answer is the 1960's

Any other answer just means the person has no taste...

Erm... 60s for soul & Motown.

70s for punk & rock... the Ramones, Runaways, Suzi Quatro, Meatloaf.

80s for stuff like Billy Idol & the Cure.

90s for Brit pop, Green Day, RHCP.. I'm a 90s kid.

Sorry, what was the question?

Agreed. Also there seemed to be so much variety

Declaration of conflict of interest: "The World's End" could have been my biography....

If I had to choose i'd have to go for the 80's, the smiths, echo and the bunnymen, the stone roses etc. However there's great music from every decade particularly the 60's. Even now there's some great bands out there they're just not getting into the mainstream. Since the mid to late90's, record companies are more interested in spunking out shite for teenagers to make a quick buck. Most of the best bands in history wouldn't stand a chance of making it today as by the time they developed they would have been dropped. Probably why when I go and see the bands of my youth the crowd is full of old farts like me reliving their youth and young kids desperate to hear something more meaningful than turgid chart music...

1930s (No, I wasn't alive then you cheeky beggar!) French and German cabaret music, Edith Piaf young and pretty, Josephine Baker's nude dances, swing bands, dance bands and jazz. Not much in the way of great classical music, but some legendary singers, soloists and conductors. And the immortal Marian Anderson.
