THE BEST DECADE in music

[newwavepunkgirl]

Any but this one! [xx(]Musically late 70s/early 80s and early to mid 90s. But I actually would have liekd to have lived in the 50s (when rock n roll came out) or 60s (great fun!)or maybe 1976 (I was alive in the latter but a very young child)Or the future like if it's all space-age and stuff.[:)]I'm a space-age gal, sod the information age![xx(]

I think the 1740's gets my vote.

Well, the 1740's did see the return of Gothic style furniture [;)]

I agree with this, although I'd back up one year ( 1977 ) so I could include the Sex Pistol, I also like the 60's very much. I just watched the Monterey Pop DVD recently. It would have been fantastic to live through this time, and to see that event. [:)]

Agree too.

Although I usually say 1978-1986, in order to include The Blow Monkeys' "Digging your scene" and the Jesus & Mary Chain debut.

From then on, way down.

[Antmuzik]

why not just say 77-87. That way you can include early punk, and later new-wave guitar pop, such as 'Strangeways, Here We Come'.

[tikibars]

I am going with 1975 to 1985.

Anything after '84 just seemed pointless and duplicated. Although, a few decent specimens managed to come crawling out of '85 and '86. But when Mike & The Mechanics' "Living Years" gets called New Wave and Hootie & The Blowfish get referred to as grunge...that's the end of the line for me. When I was a kid and going to the record store--even the record department at a place like K-Mart--was like Charlie Sheen going to whorehouse nothing sound formulaic. Everything was fresh & vital. Seeing a hot singer on the sleeve back then was the icing on the cake, not the reason to buy the song...Well, I take that back. but as it turned out Paul Young happened to make really great music. Anyway, today it's just the opposite. And I still see don't anyone who looks good enough to make me wanna buy their crap.
