JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 '70s by far. The '70s paved the way for modern music. If you look at modern bands almost all are influenced by Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slagfarmer Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Definitely the 70's. The 80's was a difficult one to struggle through and I just don't get Rap!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie1971 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 For Rock 'N Roll the 1970s were without a doubt the artistic peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 60s. We went from The Platters to Led Zeppelin all within a 10 year span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danelectro Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 There is no right answer for this one because it depends on what you like and what genre of music you like. For me it'd be the 20's, I don't think modern music ever got better than the early blues greats. To this day stuff like Tommy Johnson's Canned Heat Blues blows my mind, a guy telling the story about how he's killing himself by drinking sterno is heavier than anything any hard rock band did.

Virginia Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'd say from the early/mid sixties to the mid 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 70's or, 10 year period: 1964 - 1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm probably going to be the only one who picks the 80s, but hey, I love metal. As well as alternative and new wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The 70s. You start off with the soft rock/singer-songwriter era (Bread, The Carpenters, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Carole King), move through to the harder rock era (Stones, Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin) and then end with disco, punk and the beginning of New Wave. That's a lot of diversity for a 10 year period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The 70s, but the years 67 - 75 seems to be where my favourite albums mostly come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppFanForever Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Which has been the best decade for music? 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's 00's If you fancy having a vote go to http://www.thisdayinmusic.com How's it going "Mugbugclub" as well as our fellow die hard hard core ZEPPELIN fanatics? My day at work is almost finished for the day and I'm looking forward to going home. This is a very interesting question. I can easily say the 1950's since that decade was the humble beginnings for Rock n' Roll although the music technology was very primitive and dinosaur meaning that there was no technology back then. In my opinion, the BEST decade for music is without a doubt a doubt, the 1960's. The 1960's introduced a lot of new music technology in the studio as well as live recordings thanks to music innovator's such as Sir George Martin and Brian Wilson. 1967 was the single greatest year in all of Rock n' Roll history. 1967 introduced music in a more artistic way and opened all doors for music. Had it not been for 1967, 1969 or the entire 1970's would have never happened quite the way it did. The 1970's would reap all of the great fruits and rewards that the music of the 1960's introduced technology wise resulting in the 1970's giving us some of Rock's all-time greatest moments of music ever. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there isn't - good decade though not just on the blues end but jazz as well. I think each decade offers something - perhaps some have had more impact than others but I don't know if I could narrow it down. The 70s. You start off with the soft rock/singer-songwriter era (Bread, The Carpenters, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Carole King), move through to the harder rock era (Stones, Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin) and then end with disco, punk and the beginning of New Wave. That's a lot of diversity for a 10 year period. That is a lot of diversity - never really thought about it like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Tough call !!! It would be impossible for me to consider 1955 - 1975 as anything other than one huge era in music period. Rock, folk, blues, jazz, and contemporary all had their own major influences and then the fusion of all those styles just created a whole new sound altogether. Just think of all the artists that were going during that period. You could make a list of a hundred great ones and without a doubt you would be forgetting someone who was a major influence. I can't think of another time frame that even comes close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdistancewinner Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 The 70's. All of my favourite bands/singers struck gold in that decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 No. Okay, just asking. In that case, I'll pick February 2, 1949 to February 3, 1959. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
