Your favourite decade for modern music (1 Viewer)

[runtlocks]

I voted the 70's, with the 60's veery close behind Hard to say, though. 70's provides more of my favourite albums but I like the stuff created in the 60's more as a whole.

1960s. JJJJIIIMMMIII HHHEEENNNDDRRRIIIXXX

1970s was jimi hendrix-less

Although it might have to be a major thinkover between 60s and 70s. I'll have a better ponder over it for a while longer

I am such a 1980's girl. I'll belt out Jessie's Girl anyday.

I'm so stuck in the 1990s when it comes to music.
Great bands doing their best stuff in those years;
Nirvana
Oasis
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Foo Fighters
Radiohead
Elliot Smith
Jeff Buckley
The Flaming Lips
The Verve
Silverchair
Powderfinger

Difficult. Most of my music comes from 90s/00s but the 60s/70s have a lot more 'classic' albums overall.

But in all, over half my music library comes from the 00s, so I suppose I'll have to go with that.

as much as some people consider themselves musically superior because they listen to dated shit, i voted for the 2000s as the majority of my favourite music has definitely been released over the past 6 years. there's a hell of a lot of good stuff from the 90s and from the 60s, but everything seems to come together and fit within my tastes in the contemporary climate.

 

[libertine]

That's all good and true, but you missed the Beatles

 

[neafoo]

80's for me

 

[hiphophooray123]

the 90's:

OutKast
Nas
LL Cool J (80's/90's)
Jay-Z
Big L
Redman
Wu-Tang
A Tribe Called Quest
Common
DMX
DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Mobb Deep

for hip hop anyway

actually for rock it would be 90's as well

80's were damn good too

 

[withoutaface]

80's, easily.

 

[walrusbear]

i chose the 70s, but spiny norman's list is very persuasive.
i've been listening to gang of four and stooges a lot recently, but i guess they only frame the 70s really.

 

[Meistro]

That's all good and true, but you missed the Beatles

1) If you could read you would see where i said I didnt compile the list
2) Anyway by the end of the 60's the beatles had just lost the plot. Psychadelic? PLEASE!

 

[Born Dancer]

i cant decide, because i think each decade has its own merits solely because of the difference in time.

incomparable. really, or something
