My mom’s siser lived with us and she grew up in the late 50’s early 60’s. I was indoctrinated with this and this. Hope you enjoy
My iPod has music from a variety of decades, mostly the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 40’s.
The latter part of the 18th century.
The 2030s will be the best!
@hmmmmmm -Or will it all be remakes due to a lack of creativity?
^ That will be the 2040s. It will be awful.
@hmmmmmm -idk….based on the lack of ideas for new movies, music is not far behind (if not already there)
I know there are MANY more that I loved; but, old age is setting in & I can’t always remember that far back!!!
@LadyMarissa – I definitely suffer from CRS but don’t spend too much time caring about it. XD
It only bothers me when I’m trying to remember!!! LoL
My wife would definitely say the seventies, big hard rock fan.
I love eighties music largely due to the following…
Depeche Mode
Tears for Fears
Madness
U2
@LadyMarissa -I went into my studio area this AM & forgot why I went there.This is not the first time.
There is a good side to this as it can teach one to not sweat the small stuff.
@ucme -*80’s did have a lot of fun stuff.
1780–1790. Mozart was at his best.
Among recent decades, the 60s & 70s.
Too many choices before the 20th Century, and different types of music, much of it fantastic.
The 70’s by far, though a lot of it started in the late 60’s. Led Zepplin, The Who, Journey, Genesis, The Eagles, Bob Seger, Kansas, Fleetwood Mac, Blue Oyster Cult, David Bowie….all of the super groups. My kids still love that music today.
@seawulf575 – I wonder if my own nieces & nephews listen to the older stuff?
@Hawaii_Jake – Thanks!
My husband once gave me a Mozart CD to listen to while throwing clay. It definitely is a fast track way to get into a creative zone. :)
It is a strange thing how that can happen with certain music.
The 1980’s for this guppy.
@SQUEEKY2 -Lots of good music-got a favorite?
I’ll define a decade as the 10 years between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s. That’s the era of classic rock, the Beatles’ heyday, Memphis/Stax, and The Sound of Philadelphia.
Best is subjective or course, so I will go with “favorite”. And this is very difficult for me as there is music I adore from the 1920s up till today.
I guess I would have to cheat and pick three, the 70s and the 80s. Those were my growing up/ and teenage years.. And the 30s for their Big Bands, which I grew up on at home. Mom played them all the time.
30s
70s
80s
@anniereborn -All great picks!
I grew up listening to a lot of Big Band & Classical, thanks to my mom.
After my dad died, I ended up with a great jazz collection.
@lucillelucillelucille I can tell you I lost several good CDs to the kids. I had to buy Journey’s greatest hits 3 times and I STILL don’t have a copy! I had my daughter, when she was about 10 tell me I needed to get some Santana into my collection. I pointed her to the two discs I already had. Definitely, pound for pound, the 70’s had more great songs that have stood the test of time.
@seawulf575 You’re daughter has good taste in music. I’ve seen them in concert four times and they have always sounded great!
@lucillelucillelucille I am, of course, biased in my choice of decades. I got to see Genesis, Black Oak Arkansas, The Clash, Blue Oyster Cult, David Bowie, Eddie Money, the Cars, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Seger, Def Leppard, Todd Rundgren and Utopia, J. Geils, Pink Floyd, Styx, REO Speedwagon and several more. It was a great time to be young and alive.
@seawulf575 -David Bowie would’ve been great .Pink Floyd I love too.
A great live band was The J. Geils band. A lot of fun.Van Halen was good too,Aerosmith,Bad Company-PR still sounds great. Many others.
Worst band to see live was The Rolling Stones.
You know who I really loved was Leon Redbone
. I went to see him twice & was sad to hear he had died.
@lucillelucillelucille Of the bands I saw, Def Leppard was the worst. Part of it was the weather…upper nineties, sunny, and we were on the infield of the stadium. So getting excited just made it hotter. But really…they didn’t sound good live. Pink Floyd was outstanding…the ANIMALS tour. 88,000 people. I saw things there that just defy logic…and at least some of them had nothing at all to do with the drugs I was on.
@seawulf575 – I forgot about them (DL)! I saw them as well and I sill don’t know why.lol
Pink Floyd though- I am envious! Favorite song from that album
One of my all time favourite albums of the 1980’s was Dire Straights Brothers in arms.
I’d say the 70’s. Classic rock, early new wave, classic disco, R&B, great pop.
Hands down the 1930’s had some of the best musicians alive in one decade who really shaped the jazz musical landscape then and now. Just look at the heavy hitter musical icons of that era…Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Fats Waller, Louie Armstrong, Artie Shaw, Ella Fitzgerald, Tommy Dorsey to name just a few and of course the formidable Jimmy Durante.
@Vignette The only one I don’t listen to is Jimmy Durante :)
@anniereborn @lucillelucillelucille I’m mortified both have not enriched your lives with ol Jimmy. Frank Sinatra got some of his best stuff copping Jimmy’s works. FWIW I am partial to Jimmy because of his rag time playing and keeping that genre alive.
@Vignette -Post a sample. One that won’t enrage anyone. me :)
