The 60's.

You simply cannot argue this.

Europe:

Cream

The Jimi Hendrix Experience (I know Jimi was from Seattle, but he got big in Europe first)

The Who

The Beatles

Yardbirds/Early Zeppelin

Pretty much anything else that came from the U.K. in the mid-60's

America:

Bob Dylan

The Doors

Any American blues man

The Newport Jazz Festival

The Monterey Pop Festival

Woodstock

"Summer of Love"

Haight and Ashbury

East Coast Garage Rock

West Coast Psychedelia

The list goes on.. but that should be everything you need right there.

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.

The 70's . . .

That's a lot perversity for a 10 year period. :D

Well you could argue it because not everyone is going to feel that way ;) It's a matter of personal preference really.

For me it's always going to be the 50's

Chicago in the 50's to be precise.

It's the old 'if you could go back to one period from the past' question.

I'd go back to the Chess Studios from 1950. Hey . . . it's my fantasy right, maybe, having been a drummer for 20 years I could wind up playing with Muddy or the Wolf.

In actuality I'd wind uo getting my twat kicked in by Little Walter & Big Crawford.

C'est le vie
