saturdaygig Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 70s had a lot going on . We saw glam rock - T. Rex and Slade everyone. Then the birth of punk - the Clash, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Saints. These bands cultivated the land in which all music since has grown. 00s indie is fine, but there's only one place it came from.

Grogan_Avfc Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I voted 90's purely because of all the old classic house tunes i got on me 'puta You know the best house was from 86-88! That's all the acid stuff isn't it? I wasn't even born then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 New Order, Joy Division Just curious but did \does the seemingly fascist overtones in the names they chose for their group(s) affect your feelings on listening \ purchasing their music ? I know they have always denied it but prior to Joy Division they were called Warsaw ,s o there is a distinct pattern emerging .. deliberate or just to provoke controversy ?

OldFart Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Roy OrbisonFunny how Orbison carried on having hits despite all the other stuff that was going on in the 60s. Good songs and a unique voice perhaps. Must admit I always liked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have always denied it but prior to Joy Division they were called Warsaw ,s o there is a distinct pattern emerging .. deliberate or just to provoke controversy ? To provoke a reaction in the media. It kinda backfired on them though as lots of skinheads and nazis attended early Joy Division gigs. Fighting in the crowd was not unheard of, and constant "are Joy Division Nazis?" headlines written by student journalists in student newspapers never seemed to go away. Still, it got them noticed..

VILLAMARV Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 70's for me. I think film and music wise it's my favourite decade. So much diverse creative stuff about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It maybe saved the patient's life, but it left him scarred and crippled. I still stand by this rather good metaphor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 70s. Without question. Not to say I restrict my listening to a single decade but the arrangements, production, delivery and songwriting were, broadly, better in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question really is "what decade did you spend your late teens/early 20's in?" My teenage years = 1967 to 1973. Maps on exactly to what I consider to be the Golden Age for popular music. So, teens, yes. By my early 20s I was starting to get disillusioned, and it only got worse as the 70s wore on. Culminating in the hellish nadir that was the 80s.

Seat68 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 My teens were 83 to 89 and by Christ, I had to search around for music. Perhaps potentially why I moved drastically away from chart music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would kind of suggest that my favoured period actually was objectively superior to the 80s, and not just generation bias. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
