If you could only listen to ONE decade's music for the rest of your life.......

[cccc]

1975 -1985.

 

[Nadir]

For me no discussion: the '70s.

My consideration about the '80s:
all the bands that were born in the eighties died within the eighties, all the band that survived the eighties were born in the seventies (with very few exceptions).

Vin,

So what did you click.

G

None. There needs to be checkboxes instead of radio buttons so we can select multiple choices. The Gutchmeister needs to fix that in the settings.

 

[Edgar Frog]

Definitely the 80's for me. IMHO it will always be the greatest decade in music. I also consider it the greatest decade in TV, movies, pop culture and fashion. So I'm a little bias.

1970-2000 for me. I picked the 70's because LZ, Black Sabbath, Rush, BOC, early VH...I could have easily gone with the 80's though....fuck it, I just changed my vote. '80's Metallica, Slayer, VH (DLR era) Megadeth, AC/DC, Ozzy, Judas Pries, Iron Maiden and I still get RUSH and Black Sabbath....

Whatever…

since 19 fucking 88


Actually, I no idea where you are going with this,

Bands from the ‘80s died within the ‘80s?

I just saw DRI last month. Most of the bands that I revered back then are still up and touring, whereas most ‘70s acts are dismantled or dead (literally) and the same goes for ‘90s, compliments of heroin & fentanyl.

Or is this some relevance ploy? ‘90s was a counter-culture against the ‘80s to be certain. But I hardly saw the 1970s artists/music as relevant and warmly-received in the days of Slim Shady, Fred Durst and Brittney Spears. So, it’s not like that wasn’t shelved off to the middle of the “classic” rock station between ‘60s and ‘80s then.

That a couple of clueless broads happen to revere Dolly Parton and Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks, really) over the past 10 years is no indicator that the ‘70s has been revered throughout. You have no idea how many of these kids have zero fucking clue who Pink Floyd is. Seriously. It’s disappointing to say the least.

[TXOldRedRocker]

I voted 70's, because over 90% of the music I listen to is from the 70's. It'd be easy to give up the less than 10% of what I listen to not from the 70's.

 

[Lo-Tek]

Yeah I’m the guy who picked the 90s. First of all, I don’t think some of you know how to play the game. You can’t pick a decade? Picture an alien from another planet who has the ability to wipe out all of humanity. It offers you a reprieve, all of humanity will be saved if you agree to only listen to music from one of the above posted decades. Now which decade are you picking dammit?!
...

That would be a real dilemma. I would want to save humanity but on the other hand maybe the responsible thing would be to let the aliens kill everyone. That might be the better choice for the rest of creation - all things considered. ; -)

 

[StratoMarshall]

1972 to 1982.
Non standard decade! (Decade = 10 years)

 

[GibsonMarshallGuy47]

considering Band Of Gypsys, Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, The Stooges, the Ramones, Sex Pistols, early Rush, the Stones, the Who, early Motorhead, early Deep Purple, ... I could go on and on and on... so yeah, the 1970's, without a doubt.

 

[Resident 217]

What a bunch of nostalgia bull . Too funny, guess Im a nimrod as I chose 2010's with the +. I have hope there is still time I might see some significant contribution to Music in my life time

 

[EndGame00]

1980's... Even pop music in that era was far superior that ever came out in the 90's- present.

 

[ThePitbullofLove]

‘70-‘00
I get three decades because they’re small….

 

[Matthews Guitars]

80s without a doubt.

I would consider not ever hearing or knowing who Pink Floyd was to be a blessing....................

 

[rmlevasseur]

The thing about the 70s is that it not only had great rock, but great soft rock and great folk stuff like Chapin, Croce, Lightfoot and Taylor - a genre that cannot be touched today without making me puke.

If you could only listen to music from ONE decade for the rest of your life, what decade would it be?

Being a guitar player with all my main influences coming from an era of classic hard rock that really started kicking off around 1973 and continued through the very early eighties, I would have to adjust my decade a bit and call it '73 thru '83. Right around 1973 is where the rock bands of the mid sixties and early seventies passed the torch to the next generation of rockers such as Montrose, Rainbow, UFO, Aerosmith, etc..

Are you fucking serious??? Really......you have to be joking...right?
