Favorite era of music (hip-hop, metal, punk, rock, favorite songs)

What would you say is your favorite era of music?

For me I have to say 77-83, most of my favorite songs are from that era, and I really feel that period was the most creative and rewarding point in rock and roll, moreso even than the 60's.

And honorable mention to the music of the past few years, I feel like we're in the midst of another very creative period.

I'm really debating between the 1990's and the 2000's. Not a whole lot of my favorite music outside of punk is from before that.

How about "the past 18 years"?

Edit: Just voted for 1997 to 2003. I mean, Relationship Of Command, De-Loused In The Comatorium, Wiretrap Scars, Let's Talk About Feelings, Pennybridge Pioneers, Low Estate, hell yeah.

I voted 1970-1976... was heavily toying with 77-83 for the same reason as Brad, but I realized if I chose 70-76, I was including the immediate-post-Woodstock-era, and I love that era, for music. So I got the best of both worlds, in my mind, by including the rise of the music scene in the 70s whilst still keeping the Woodstock stuff.

The 80s and 90s get an honorable mention, on the DL, that is.

1971-1974. Easily. So many great bands and soloists were at their zenith then. Just to name a few:

Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
David Bowie

So...yeah.

I would actually say the entire 80's era/decade, as it's the best of all time, IMHO.

The early - mid 90's rock spark the most influential music in decades and it is tied with 97-03....is mind boggling.

FireInCairo · 10-09-2008, 02:46 AM

i want a mid 70's say 76 or so through to about 86...

I went for 1983-1989. There were so many great bands or artists releasing music in that period:

Pixies
Sonic Youth
The Cure
Husker Du
The Replacements
Dinosaur Jr
The Smiths
Tom Waits
Echo and the Bunnymen
Mudhoney
And the whole thrash metal movement
