1970s by far

You can argue for each of those; it's tough.

Better_Than_You · 02.12.2009, 01:37 PM

the 80s brought me some of my favorite bands.. but the mainstream music killed any chance of them winning a poll.

in my opinion.

except for prince. he was pretty badass.

I didn't realize music was around in 1950. I thought Michael Jackson invented music.

for ME, 90's, but i think it arguably is the 60's in terms of musicology and the birth of so many styles and substyles. whatvs. Ask batreleaser, i dunno.

atsonicpark · 02.12.2009, 02:34 PM

Let's see.. Captain Beefheart was around 1964-1982. So, I'm going to say the 70's. Because that was the decade he spent the most years in.

People need to get more specific.

"music" has been around as long as humans had shit to hit for a beat and voices to hum with.

in my estimation, the best decade for music was whichever decade J.S. Bach was in top form. probably around the 1730's

pbradley · 02.12.2009, 03:06 PM

I'm gonna go and say that every decade has had a lot of music I like and a lot of music that I don't and even more that I know nothing about.

Picking out one over the others is arbitrary.

DeadDiscoDildo · 02.12.2009, 03:12 PM

^^true, but I will say the 60s, both the early 60s pop/rock n roll and the mid to late 60s psychedelic pop/motown/rock n roll shaped most of the future in my opinion. Also influenced many of the great artists of every decade since, in some way or another. If you want to get technical you could say the same about the 40s and 50s birthing rock n roll in general.

But the sounds of the 60s are more emulated in everything else.

Whatever.

I should have just said, yeah.

!@#$%! · 02.12.2009, 05:07 PM

let's see

40's-50's- bebop
60's- free jazz
70's- fusion
80's- pat metheny
90's- kenny g
00's- ??

i take the late 50's

GeneticKiss · 02.12.2009, 05:29 PM

Didn't we have this discussion before?

atsonicpark · 02.12.2009, 05:31 PM

yeah, but everyone on this board loves repeating themselves, and no one knows how to use the search function.

Toilet & Bowels · 02.12.2009, 06:50 PM

a better way of phrasing the question would be "Which decade produced the most music that appeals to your taste?"

Glice · 02.12.2009, 06:55 PM

I find the best way to phrase any question is "Is Toilet & Bowels a massive horse-fucking queerbag? YES OR DEATH."
