The Best Decade for Music

[mcmanus]

The 70's.

Drop some ecstasy and drink 5 beers and I'm John fucking Travolta.

Easy answer

50's for people who are aged between 65-80 plus
60's for people who are aged between 55-70 plus
70's for people who are aged between 45-60 plus
80's for people who are aged between 35-50 plus
90's for people who are aged between 25-40 plus
00's for people who are aged between 15-30 plus
10's for people who are aged between 8-20 plus

The majority on this forum will be aged between 20-60 so that will be the winning decade will be 60-90's

Where the fuck could you get ecstacy in Britain in the 70's?
I first encountered it in the mid 80's, and it was as rare as rocking horse shit then.

I don't think it's fair to include the 10's, 00's and even the 90's stuff in debates like this because it hasn't really had chance to settle down.

The Velvet Underground, for example, were unheard of until 1975 but are now a highly influential art rock band with t-shirts, albums and singles selling even today.

Give something time before you slag it off.

Bloody good answer mate.

Also, to dismiss all this new fangled electronicky beepy beepy stuff the kids on the street are into is a bit short-sighted, if they like it, then it's doing it's job just the same as some dusty old Pink Floyd bore fest.

Smiley face.

70's music Fetlocks. Put the Bee Gees on when I'm high as a kite and l'm good to go.

Only born in 78. Plus I love late 80's dance music and a claim to fame is my uncle was in the states and spotted house music was going to be fucking tip top. Aceeeeeed.

My bad mate - after double dropping I thought I could dance like my namesake, even though I looked like an explosion in a prosthetic limb factory.
Happy days - I wish I could remember them.

It is a bloody good answer, and I share your sentiments as well.

I somehow doubt that Damocles and Nijinsky will have anything to say about it, though.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Every decade has its claim to fame..

50's Rock & Roll Elvis
60's Hippies LSD Beatles and Hendrix/Motown
70's Heavy Metal/Glam Rock/punk /Reggae/Disco
80's New Romantic/Rap/House
90's Dance/RnB
2000's bit shit really..re hash of all the previous.

Corrected

Since 1985 and the first rumblings of chigago house in this country the dance scene is still going so to speak..although not at its heights of the Nineties..

you forgot the most important genre mate - Progressive Rock - 70's

which adds more to my argument about each decade being special for everyone..
