your favorite musical decade I have listened to samplings of music from almost every era.I just think that the '70's were an incredibly fertile time for great music. This is my favorite musical decade and the "80's being second.The sixties are very close behind . There was such a freedom in all the music.There was real pain and real sexuality and real excitement.It was alive.The grooves expanded and styles merged until you didn't even know what the hell you were listening to,but it was fantastic. There was so much expansion. There was so much passion.Who can listen to BROTHER to BROTHER or THRUST or ALLnALL and not picture tehmselves on a beach in linen pants with a joint and a nice drink and alive with the sweet smell of the cutie girl(or dude for some) you're holding hands with and not get a warm buzz in their crotch? Damn!The seventies were the shit!!!Long hair and an open world is how I picture that.The future world was a far off dream away.For now,we make love.And so I make love to this music.
The seventies even had some of my fave movies like Jaws,Godfather,Coolie High,and many other classics(blackenstein,anyone?) "I'm a pig..so,magic elixir I swill" | |

60's. The music from that time has incredible energy. You can feel the unrest in the world and the vital role music played. It expresses and embodies true revolution. | |

The 60's, then the 80's, then the 70's. Are the 90's even worth mentioning?  | |

Oh come on, it's gotta be the 80's. | |

I'd have to say the 90's. Even though I don't think they're necessarily the best, they were so formative in what I listen to today. There was as much crap and as much good as any other time, but from the years of about '91-'95, I grew out of my childhood tastes and still am that person. | |

THE 70s!!
I'm so glad that i was able to grow up during this magical decade.SO MUCH amazing music! You could listen to the radio all day long,and nearly every song was superb.We're talking about a musical dacade dominated by incredible artists and bands like... Elton John Stevie Wonder Paul McCartney and Wings The Bee Gees Earth Wind and Fire Carole King War The Jackson Five Barry White The O'Jays Peter Frampton Donna Summer Diana Ross The Eagles Fleetwood Mac Steve Miller Band Rod Stewart Natalie Cole Santana The Carpenters Heatwave The Commodores KC and The Sunshine Band The Rolling Stones LaBelle Electric Light Orchestra Billy Joel Chic Tower Of Power Eric Clapton Al Green Aretha Franklin Boz Scaggs Bill Withers Hall and Oates The Doobie Brothers Heart Smokey Robinson Rick James The Stylistics Blue Magic Olivia Newton-John Pink Floyd Marvin Gaye Parliament Funkadelic Average White Band David Bowie Kiss Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes Quincy Jones The Brothers Johnson Linda Ronstadt And on and on and on.If you grew up in the 70s,wouldn't you say that we were probably "spoiled" by so much great music? LOL.It was unreal. | |

Favorite Decade:
1967-1977... ...Starts with Are You Experienced and Sgt. Pepper, and ends with Steely Dan's Aja and Parliament's Funkentelechy vs The Placebo Sybndrome... Second favorite decade:1978-1988 (IMO, Prince's best decade...) ... [Edited 9/30/04 9:09am] " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

I would go with circa 1975-1985... so I can have a bit of both...  Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

The 60's because I'm from Detroit and there were some slammin' tracks coming from Hitsville USA back in the day. Quite a few artists were doing their thing as well.
The 80's because that was a decade where music was free. No one was scared to take chances and there was always something new, fresh and exciting happening. Not to mention you didn't hear the same 6 songs being played over and over like most stations do now.

Word - 1991 especially, being such a formative year in the death of metal as well as its great last gasp, the birth of grunge, and the full emergence of mainstream hip-hop to the white kids. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. Regardless of the day, I'm glad you were born. | |

The 70's were the shit for soul music,
Marvin Gaye had,,, What's going On and Let's get it on during this decade. James brown made his first come back in the early seveties with the Big Payback, Sex Machine, and SOul Power. Curtis Mayfield Graced us With Superfly and all of his productions on other artist. Parliment and Funkadelic got started in the late 70's as well as Prince. Al green introduced us to Southern Soul. Aretha, Glady's Night and pattie Labelle were more creative during this decade. And let's don't forget about Earth Wind and Fire, the Commodors, Teddy Pendergrass. think I can Stop there???? Nope! How about Barry White and Issac Hayes Stevie wonder did his greatest albums in the 70's I could go on. It's definitely the best time for soul music. It's been downhill every since. | |
