Your favourite decade in music? - grooveless touque - 08-20-2004
(note: I went with everything ending in 4 because I felt that in addition to matching up with 2004, it divided musical culture into more appropriate denominations than 60s, 70s, etc...1969 has more in common with '73 than '62, for instance, and the "80s music" we all know and hate
was mid-to-late 80s very early 90s)I'm really interested to know if anybody else listens to as much old music as I do...I picked 64-74:
- Bob Dylan went electric, and so did Muddy Waters
- Neil Young emerged from the shadows of BS and CSNY
- Duane Allman had the Midas touch: his work with ABB, Eric Clapton and others was all SOLID GOLD
- American rock hits its zenith as blues became mainstream and influenced legions of white boys

64- 74 without a doubt, man. Im a young guy, but this stuff's where its at for me. In fact, before the Hip I didnt listen to any modern stuff. The Hip are actually the only modern band that I really follow, they are the greatest in the world to me, but next to them, its all oldies.
Other than the Hip, its all about the bluuuues, folk, and OLD country(nothing post 70's). Bob Dylans my hero, I had luxury of seeing him in concert last year, saw Neil Young in February on the Greendale tour, Ive even seen Joan Baez in concert. The whole Woodstock set was amazing, particularly Canned Heat(love these guys, the realest white boy blues Ive yet to hear), CSNY, Santana(in their prime), and ofcourse Jimi. Mr. Cash was in his prime. Ever heard the studio tapes of Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan during the Nashville Skyline days? Wow. Hmmm, what else...CCR. The Dead. Zeppelin in their prime. The Doors with Roadhouse Blues and LA Woman, again, in their prime. Floyd, with Sid Barrett, then Dark Side of the Moon...so much out there, gotta go confer with my vinyl collection...

Wow, not a lot of love for the late 70s...glam rock is truly dead!
Only 12 votes? Come on folks!

I voted for 94-04 ..mainly for DMB and the Hip, but all of those decades have gems for sure :thumb:
- tommygunn - 08-21-2004
1964-1974 easily!
The Beatles, the Stones, Bob Dylan, Zeppelin, the Who, Hendrix, Clapton, CSNY, Joplin, the Doors, Pink Floyd, the Velvet Underground, the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, the Band, Sly and the Family Stone, CCR, T-Rex, Bob Marley, etc. all at their zenith. Heck, even throw in Elvis and his comeback in '68.
IMO, no period in music is more important than these 10 years. Just look at how this era has influenced almost every band/artist since!

'94-'04...Nothing tops the music you grow up on. Despite the lack of depth in the decade, the music i liked was 'the soundtrack to my youth'... sorry about the use of cliche...I feel bad about that one... not bad enough to edit it though.

I like too much music to vote. I like pretty much anything from 1950-today
but if you're talking the stuff I REALLY love it would be 1978-1991 and there is no choice for that
Those were my school years. :thumb:
Duran Duran, Poison, Guns and Roses, Glass Tiger, Gowan, Platinum Blonde, Debbie Gibson, Bobby Brown, New Edition, I'll admit it, I was a NKOTB FAN! LOL WHAT WERE WE THINKING! lol. I could go on
his is how diverse the music I love is.
Eagles, Styx, Pink Floyd, CSNY, Melissa Ethridge, Gordon Lightfoot, Josh Groban, KISS, Meat Loaf, some Broadway, I love David Fosters Symphony stuff, Patsy Cline, George Jones, Walyon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Dan Seals, Garth Brooks, Jim Brickman, Chicago (60's-80's, not the new crap they are putting out), Elton John, Billy Joel, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams.
I could go on.
I'm all over the place with my music.

I think '94 - '04 will easily win... just because most people here probably grew up on that music. I voted for that era, because I still love the grunge scene and the alternative break-throughs that started in the early 90s and continued on (I would've voted for '84 - '94, but I hate a lot of late 80s crap!).
Although I don't particularly think the '94 - '04 decade was the most influential decade, had the best music, produced songs that will be remembered the most, etc., it's the stuff that got my hooked on rock music and brewed my love for music in general.
