Which decade had the best music?

[cez]

I saw a few people on Facebook post about having attended this:  http://holyship.com/

 

This is my nightmare.  

Stuck on a boat in the middle of the sea, surrounded hipsters and ravers, being subjected to non-stop house music.

Looks like material for a Sartre play.

Whichever decade produced Creed.

I want the big four (blanton, hanson, burnett, and madson) to take a picture like that.

The British Invasion of the 60's influenced many of the rock bands of the 70's, 80's and 90's. You had the Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Black Sabbath, The Yardbirds, to name a few. If you're a fan of rock music these bands and others were the pioneers.

Don't forget Van Morrison....albums do not get any better than astral weeks and moondance.

They tried but couldn't find a wide angle lens that could keep Blanton on the frame.

Not ashamed to say I have all 39 of his albums.

I just listened to Too Late to Stop Now over the weekend.  Just spectacular.

 

Astral Weeks was one of those transformative experiences for me when I first heard it.  I still get emotional when I listen to it.

My favorite response when I try talking to some people about Van Morrion:

 

"I LOVE BROWN EYED GIRL"

Tank is a talented musician.

He also has terrible taste in music

[Tank]

my parents raised me on country music. i blame that, nate.

[arch stanton]

And thank you. I don't know how I've overlooked it all these years.

He can fall between the cracks of genre-based stations but always great to listen to.

The name Steely Dan has an interesting origin that's for sure.

The 80's.

Loved all of the new wave and punk stuff.

Same here. My phone is filled with over 20 gigs of 80's music.

The 70's a close second.

[HaloFan85]

It's a close race between the 70's and 80's, but I have to give it to the 80's.  The 80's truly had everything.
