Favourite decade in popular music
 
Which is your favourite decade in popular music? I'ld go for the 1960's, but the 1950's were great to. And the 1970's and 1980's. When we come some years into the 1990's, it's harder to find good stuff (I hate hip hop and techno) so then I would go for some country/ballads (songs like "From a Distance"/"What if Gof was one of us"), dansband songs or other pop/rock.

80's. All the way.

Whatever decade I was a child in, of course.

Early-mid 90's. The alt rock scene at the time had a lot going for it. Lots of different styles and sounds so I always pick that as my favorite era. Lot's of good stuff out of the 60's though, so it's a tough one. I just identified more with music of the 90's I guess.

I like some stuff from the 70's, 80's and 90's, but I think most of the music out today SUCKS balls!!!

Hip-hop wise, late 80's to early 90's.

Rock wise, early 90's.

2000's for the techno.

The 80s were a golden age for air head pop music and FM synth was at its apex. I find the majority of my favorite songs come from that decade.

GnR and Metallica were also HUGE in the early 90s. It wasn't all grunge.

Yes, but I associate them more with the 1980s (like most hard rock and heavy metal at that time).

Barkworm 09-16-2009 12:27 PM

That's true of course but especially Metallica were at the peak of their success in the early nineties. Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure that the black album was the best selling rock album of the nineties.

Raph's Girl 09-16-2009 02:19 PM

Anything before the 80's... namely the 30's - 60's... Also love all things Beethoven and Mozart. Im SLOWLY getting into the 80's but most modern music, especially American, sucks. All my fave modern groups are out of Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, and Scandanavia (Norway mostly)

I love the '80's.

GNR was also at the top of their popularity from 91-94ish after the release of the Use your Illusion albums and the 2 and a half year long tour they did. There was also countless other rock acts out at the time that weren't grunge.

Anything with a awesome guitar riff, basically.

Mid- '80s to early '90s.

I'm not really a big fan of 'pop music'. But if I were alive during the 60s I imagine that would've been pretty cool.

Nevermind by Nirvana

I don't know, but it could also have been "Nevermind" by Nirvana.

GK Punk 09-17-2009 08:02 AM

I'm postive Barkwork was right. It was The black album. I think Pearl Jam's 10 even out sold Nirvana's Nevermind.

Sewer Bull 09-17-2009 08:48 AM

As credible as it can get, Wikipedia says the honour of the best selling rock album of the 1990s would belong to Alanis Morissette's 'Jagged Little Pill' (33 millions), then 'Nevermind' (26) and then Metallica.

Then again, those are the best selling albums of the 1990s, not exactly in the 1990s. But I don't think anyone listens to Alanis anymore.
