CaptainMikeRS Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Every decade of music has its ups and downs, but in the end it all depends on personal taste. To me I like music from the classical period and the 1940s to about 1990 with the only exceptios of The Divine Comedy and Dream Theater being 90s bands (although both formed in the very late 80s) that I actually like. Just remember; the 70s did give us disco... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Yes, but disco was brief and died quickly. The 80's went on for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 OK, it's cheating, but if I could pick a ten year period, instead of a specific decade...I'd pick 1964 - 1973. I don't think any other ten year period could top the music that happened during that stretch. If forced to choose a decade, it's the 70's. The spill over from the 60's into the first five years is enough on it's own to make it a powerful decade. The emrgence of punk, new wave, power pop, etc...all happened in the 70's. Even dreaded disco had some well crafted tunes. Listen to them again and you'll see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhul Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Well, No one could top 1968-1980. LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!!!. AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!. The Battle of Evermore Queen of Light took her bow And then she turned to go, The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom And walked the night alone. Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morn-ing light. The dark Lord rides in force tonight And time will tell us all. Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes. Side by side we wait the might Of the darkest of them all. I hear the horses' thunder Down in the valley below, I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, Waiting for the eastern glow. The apples of the valley hold The seeds of happiness, The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no. Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red. Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly. The sky is filled with good and bad That mortals never know. Oh, well, the night is long The beads of time pass slow, Tired eyes on the sunrise, Waiting for the eastern glow. The pain of war cannot exceed The woe of aftermath, The drums will shake the castle wall, The ringwraiths ride in black, Ride on. Sing as you raise your bow, Shoot straighter than before. No comfort has the fire at night That lights the face so cold. Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the mornin' light. The magic runes are writ in gold To bring the balance back. Bring it back. At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by, With flames from the dragon of darkness The sunlight blinds his eyes. ROCK ON!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 65-74. Best ten years of music ever, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 One of the good things in rock and roll is it´s recorded, so we can listen to the 60´s music now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Meanie Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 65-74. Best ten years of music ever, IMO. I'll have to extend that to 75' but otherwise iagree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictedtoclassic Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'd go even further and call it 15 years, 1964 - 1979! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I'd go even further and call it 15 years, 1964 - 1979! I cheated, but 15 years is really cheating...but those are 15 great years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Although some great groups emerged in the 80's (Def Leppard for example) and much of the music was very good, I don't think the decade can match the 70's for quantity of great music.
