thongrider Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I was very tempted to say before 60s since it's so vague. I think 1964 was a great year for music. So much cool stuff came out. The late sixties really sucked though. I'd say 1956 to 1966 were the best ten years of recorded music. I don't think anything will ever top those years. I had to go with the 60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 So close between the 80s and 90s for me. I feel more nostalgic to the 80s for some reason even though the 00s is my era. I think it’s because my parents grew up in the 80s so I obviously grew up with that music, it makes me think of my parents and being very young but I had to go with the 90s. The 90s were ultra cool imo especially in the UK with the whole Brit Pop and Cool Britannia stuff, some brilliant music coming out of the States too.

Meltdown Tracker Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 It's just going to be what we all grew up with - 90s and early 2000s. People are always partial to what is familiar to them. When I try to look at it objectively, I think the 70s and 90s are the two best periods of rock and roll. Too many good bands emerged during those two decades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown Tracker Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I mean, you can make an argument for the following bands peaking in the 70s: Led Zeppelin The Who The Rolling Stones Pink Floyd The Eagles Fleetwood Mac Sex Pistols Ramones Deep Purple The Clash Queen Lynyrd Skynyrd Aerosmith Black Sabbath AC/DC Kiss Journey Rush The Allman Brothers Band The Doors Grateful Dead Creedence Clearwater Revival Van Halen ABBA Electric Light Orchestra Crosby Stills Nash Jackson 5 Steve Miller Band Blue Oyster Cult Talking Heads The Stooges Thin Lizzy Motorhead Cheap Trick The Velvet Underground The Kinks etc. - probably missed like a dozen or so other big bands. While other bands were still at the end of their peak and touring like the Beatles. I really don't think any decade saw that many good musicians establish themselves all while reinventing the rock genre in different ways.

Nasa Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I like every decade and have favorites from every decade, but I'd say the "best" in terms of most innovation / most creative was the 60s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Every era is good except 2010s onward if you think about it. I'd make that 2005ish actually when it seems like it all came to a halt of impactful art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 60s was pretty much the creation of rock and roll with the Beatles and the Who and whatnot, aside from Elvis in the 50s. The 70s was adopting the new genre of rock and roll and having more bands experiment with it; I like it the most just based on the explosion of bands that the Beatles and Who influenced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 ACDC, Cheap Trick, Motorhead, Journey... All types of bands I can not get down with. 90s was way more unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 50s and 60s, but voted for 60s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 80s. all about the 80s for me. I think there's gems to every decade, and there's great features to each decade, but to me it was the 80s. the influence and weight of previous decades whilst embracing the technology that will define music for the next decades. sweet spot, at least where pop music is concerned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I'll defend my choice of the 90s.....not only did it have the better hits, it had some pretty remarkable era of change and diversity. Also peak music videos.

All types of bands I can not get down with. 90s was way more unique. The 90s had 3 previous decades of rock and roll to look at and try to change. I prefer the 90s over the 70s for rock music for both quality and quantity, but the 70s was more impressive at the time given how rock was in its infant stages and then boom, all of these bands come out of the woodwork and have different takes on the genre.
