HUH???????1970-1979 Stones(their hey days)Zeppelin,KISS,Boston,Aerosmith Frampton,Floyd,Traffic, T REX, New York DOLLS, Genisis, Cheap Trick,Van Halen,JOURNEY!! JOPLIN, HENDRIX, SEX PISTOLS, CARS, B,52's,Clash, BLONDIE, Pretenders, RUSH, Do you want me to continue..Some of these bands started in the 60's&70;s but all of these bands flourished in the 70;s......The 70's is by far the most influential time music...IN MY MIND
If it wasnt for the 70's the 80's would only have been DISCO!!!!!!
Yep, the 70's were the best as far as music. Look at how many groups made their best music in that decade.

I wasn't trying to upset anyone with my 70s comment. So apologies if I have. I realise that I should have thought about that a little longer but I think I was trying to point out the milestones in various decades that went on to change music drastically. I wasn't trying to say that there weren't any good bands in the 70s because obviously there were. The Sex Pistols and punk were actually a reaction to all the safe and sterile music that was going on then and essentially that was the focus of my comment about that decade. Jack pointed out some important people there like Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, George Clinton and Floyd. And of course some of Bowie's best work was from that period. But I'm not retracting my comment because it is pretty much how I feel about it from my listening perspective - although I think I could have put it better and my statement was an over generalisation.. Also no one has mentioned Sparks either. They started then but I think they are doing their best work now.
The bottom line is for me there is no best decade. Music is just music. You like it or you don't, no matter how or when it was made. Great records have come out in every decade but the ones that have helped change the face of music maybe have appeared more so in some decades over others.

Now that I can agree with 100%. We may occasionally exhibit sentimental leanings (just as Ron and myself are willingly stuck in a 1980s timewarp), but those leanings stem largely from sentimental echoes rather than from a music history textbook. Music transcends time and place while simultaneously being sculpted and propelled by them.

How can the 70s be bland? The 70s held some of the greatest rock n' roll artists! Some of the greatest rock music was released in the 70s.

I agree and love music of 70s, 80s and a few songs of 90s! One of the greatest artists from the good old 80s are: PINK FLOYD, DIRE STRAITS, GENESIS, BON JOVI, etc,etc,etc....! My personal hate is going to rave, tecno and stuff like this! How do the teens in this time can stand such a loud bumbumbum without getting hurt in brain and having some damage?

I'm not into techno, I just don't really care for it.

My favorite Genesis albums are all the ones they made with Peter Gabriel before he left for his solo career!

My favorite decade for music would probably be the '70s. Loved the progressive rock of Yes, ELP, Genesis, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd. The hard rock of Sabbath, Deep Purple, Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Rush...
The '60s would have to be my next favorite because The Beatles are my all time number one favorite band. Other faves: Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Who, Traffic... the list goes on!
