A straight forward question. Arguably, you could say I shouldn't include the current decade because it isn't even through, but I'm sure more than a few people would miss it ...

So then, what has been your favourite decade of music? A simple "70's" will suffice, although I'd appreciate a little insight on your choice. Which particular bands made it your favourite? Includes video's if you like

Bob Dylan, The Doors, definately the 60's

The 1980's are my favourite decade for many reasons. While there was a lot of crap in this era, there was also a lot of brilliance.

For starters, it was the peak for my favourite band (Rush) and through those ten years they kept producing amazing albums and songs. Ex.

Mystic Rhythms - 1985



Subdivisions- 1982



Afterimage - 1984



Aside from Rush, the 1980's is my favourite decade for music because of bands like: The Fixx, English Beat, Tom Cochrane, U2, Peter Gabriel, The Police, A-ha, YES and many more.

English Beat - Too Nice To Talk To You - 1980



The Fixx - Red Skies - 1987



The Fixx - One Thing Leads to Another - 1983



Talking Heads - Once in A Lifetime - 1983



The Police - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic - 1981



The Police - Invisible Sun - 1981



Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms - 1985



Dire Straits - Money For Nothing - 1985



A-ha - Take on Me - 1985



Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer - 1986



U2 - With or Without You - 1987



U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name - 1987



Tom Cochrane - Big League - 1989

meh, the 80's, after the 60's, I'd have to go with the 70's. predominatly because of Led Zeppelin and than the 90's or 2000's because of Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Audioslave.

Bruce

After the 80's, I'd go with the 70's: Neil Young, Dire Straits, James Taylor, America, Black Sabbath, Heart, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and yet again, Rush.

^ Holy...and many more which I did not list.

90's definitely! Since i'm a fan of so-called brutal usic, the best era were the 90's. Before that, 90% of the bands that i like didn't even exist.

The 1980s closely followed by the 1970s.
