My vote goes to the 80s.

Penny Lane · 02-15-2009, 12:29 PM

As much as I love The Beatles and the whole British invasion era I do like 70's music better. The Doobies, Wings, Three Dog Night, The Guess Who, CCR, James Taylor, Elton John, America,Chicago, The Spinners, The Chi-Lites,and yes........... even The BeeGees!

The 70's rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

80's.

TripperFan · 02-15-2009, 03:50 PM

I think it really depends on what decade(s) you were young in and that will be the one you like the best because you can relate to it through memories, etc..

I still think the late 60s and 70s were the best. 80s wasn't bad, 90s only a few songs I liked and now....well put it this way - I listen to a classic rock station 95% of the time so what's that tell you.

catlover79 · 02-15-2009, 03:57 PM

I can't decide!! Every decade had terrific music!!

MickeyMac · 02-15-2009, 04:11 PM

The 1960's for me. Especially from 1960-67. Not that big on some of the psychedelic music or the bubble gum stuff.

Adamantium · 02-15-2009, 05:02 PM

The 1960s thru 1970s are my favorite decades for music. I also like some 50s, and the occassional song from today. I'm okay with 90s music, but I really can't stand 80s music. I grew up in the 1980s (Born in 81), but I listened to Oldies stations instead of (then) current music. Of course that doesn't mean that every song from the 80s irritates me. But the majority of it does.

I'm always buying Oldies CDs whenever I can find them (as long as they're not New Stereo Recordings).

I repeat 1960s and 1970s. I repeat again, 1960s and 1970s.

sunshinefizzy · 02-15-2009, 05:17 PM

70's baby!!! Zepplin, ACDC, Boston, Pink Floyd. I think I was a groupie in a past life!!!

Every decade had something special. Yet, there is something about 70's classic rock. Free bird!!!

Fleet · 02-15-2009, 05:50 PM

My favorite will always be the 1950s (even though I wasn't around to experience it). Pure, true rock 'n' roll, great vocal bands, and some of the older style sounds still around like Perry Como and Jimmy Dorsey ("So Rare" from 1957 was a big hit).

Possibly the 1960s had the most variety. Still '50s-type music in 1960-1962 plus the other types of music which was around later in the '60s.

1970s was the last decade I could pick out quite a few songs I like. I don't care for the 1980s and later.

ekkostar · 02-16-2009, 12:11 AM

The 1970s brought us Robert Palmer. That's all I have to say.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 02-16-2009, 12:18 AM

The 80's...but I really do like a lot from all decades.
