Your favourite decade for music?
I've been busy doing stuff in the living room this afternoon, so put the tv on for background, and chose Bliss on Sky (362) It's a freebie channel, and it's been playing Bliss Loves the 80s. I have to say I haven't enjoyed anything on tv so much in ages! 1980 ballads mainly, I love everything they've played so far, and it's on till 10pm.
Making me feel very old though, seeing how young they all look and remembering what I was like then too.

It sounds strange- but this one. Probably because I am too young to remember the eighties at all and the nineties that well.

I can't say. I like 80s/90s/00s pretty much equally. Even though I was too young to remember much of the nineties so I've only really experienced the noughties. Actually I'd say the noughties.

70's or 80's for me. This decade has been worse than cr*p for music. No one will be remembered in 30 years from this decade.

I loved the 70's...so many happy memories, so much good music.
I suspect that it depends when you were born, you will tend to enjoy most the decade when you were in your teens...for me thats the 70's, 1980 I turned 20 and things were never quite the same again ! |

I liked Wham's songs as well, but you don't have very sophisticated tastes at that age. I went through my 'house' phase when I was 10 or 11, But when I turned 13, I hated all the new music - it was either 'Madchester', (which I couldn't relate to, as I grew up on Merseyside) or genuine c**p from Stock Aitken and Waterman, that annoying girls in my class liked. So I sought out my older brother's music, ie the Liverpool bands of the 80s I was too young to understand at the time, like the Bunnymen, Pete Wylie's stuff, Icicle Works etc. The only current band I could relate to in my early teens were The Sundays (mentioned in my other post), people hear that I'm 30 and think I might have been a fan of Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, but those bands do nothing for me. I did like Britpop (Blur, Oasis, Pulp etc) in my late teens, but don't listen to it now, and tend to seek out obscure stuff from the 70s and 80s, which amazes older people who wonder how the hell I know a song by, say, Rare Bird or Tim Buckley. (A fifty year old of my acquaintance almost fainted when he saw 'Dolphins' on my Ipod! )So, in conclusion, I don't have a favourite decade. If it's a great song - like Tim Buckley's Dolphins - I don't care what decade it's from. |

I was born in the 1980s so I always say that 80s music is "my" music, but I love stuff from the 1970s. My mum got me hooked on artists like Bowie and The Stones, and I got myself hooked on people like Madonna and Michael Jackson.
I was a teenager in the 1990s and so then I listened to stuff like Blur, Oasis, Take That, the Spice Girls...then a bit later, Britney Spears and N*sync... I like most music though and have very diverse taste. There's not much I won't listen to. |

80's and 90's music are my favourites, though can I count the late 70s as the 80s please?

I'm 40 now and there were so many great singles in the late 70s early 80s. A great time to be a kid.
The most boring time for pop music has to be now...dire! |
