Which music era is your fave?

[mindingmyown37]

Was watching the live aid 40 yesterday, I was born in 88, so essentially was brought up on 80’s music, after watching live aid it became perfectly clear that 80’s music is the far superior music decade. My ds17 absolutely loves 80’s music, he schools me on music quiz games. Thinking of all the artist around in the 80’s. I think my fave year would be 1984, had some absolute bangers.

Eighties and nineties.

70’s and 80’s I thought but the 90’s it started to get shitter

Loads of stuff from 40s to mid 90s - but if I had to pick one favourite era, it would have to be 60s.

To pin down further, 67-69.

90s for sure. It was my era of clubbing and going to festivals so just such happy memories associated with it.
My dc both like 90s music too - ds1 more 90s hip hop and dance (like Dh) and ds2 is an indie kid like me - we went to see Pulp together last month. 30 years since I'd seen them live and ds's first concert for his 16th birthday 😊

80s and 90s definitely.

There's the odd 70s song that I love and think is way beyond it's time. I love Steely Dan ' Do it Again ' - it's 1973!

I was raised in the 80s so yes, the rock music ( Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, etc) I just love. I love electric synthesiser 80s music.

And I love the piano laden dance music of the early 90s ( Njoi -Anthem, Sounds of Eden) along with the more Indie stuff like Stone Roses.

I love the Smiths, the sound,the lyrics, I love them. It never makes me feel sad or depressed. I feel it and it resonates and it also makes me laugh.

I could go on. I live in a time warp daily with my music choices. It's rarely anything beyond that era 😆.

90s - pop, hip hop, rap, indie, rock, grunge, nu metal, club, “world music”, Lillith Fair stuff…

1970s mainly (born in 1971) but I'll listen to stuff from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s. I lose interest after that!

60s, through to 80s, but that is probably because I was born in the late 50s

Late 90/00s rnb/dance/garage music

I also love 70s soul and disco

Music was better when you actively went out to buy it and then listened to it on decent speakers which were set up properly rather than from a tinny little Alexa thing which sounds like a small portable radio

1730s

60 / 70 for me, I was born in 64 and my parents would often hold “little get togethers” my brothers and I would sneak down to peak in on them all dancing my mum in one of her long floaty dresses I thought she looked so beautiful. They would waltz and jive a little magic times

80 was my turn and yes I can remember clubbing Olivia newton-John ooo and the eye of the tiger.

music was music then, I agree with a PP we had better sound systems then (some still have I know ) not listening through these little cheap things or Alexa

Plenty of us have perfectly good sound systems and it's even possible to use Alexa through good speakers. But you also have to remember that a lot of people who are of the time when you went out and bought a record if you wanted something specific, had first come across that song/artist by listening to programmes on our tinny little transistors.

70s and 80s. Good times. I was born in 1959 btw. I do like 30s/40s music a lot though.

I have been passionate about mainstream pop and more alternative music ever since I was a young child. Growing up in the 90s and 2000s, I do have some nostalgia for those decades but looking back dispassionately, I don't rate those decades very highly. I adore the 80s and 2010s but, if I'm being honest, I think we're living through a golden age of music right now. My favourite artists have always been exclusively female and it just so happens that many of today's most successful female artists are making the kind of music I love. Chart pop is also in great shape right now, much more so than I remember it being in the 90s.
I have listened extensively to music from the 50s, 60s and 70s but, personally, I'm not generally interested in much music prior to the 80s.

Early 70s but there are more modern bands I like, REM, Radiohead, Mumford and Sons, First Aid Kit.

Late 70s early 80s, then the 90s. Indie or 'alternative' is my favourite type. Early indie was more authentic and was largely by working class bands. I like what they sang about (more political, anti establishment, story telling) compared to current music. Now the main themes tends to be love, sex, anxiety and sex, containing lots of ooos and pretentious wispy vocals. Gen z are a disappointment.

I was born in 1974. 80s for pop (synth pop) and goth. 90s rave and indie. I love a lot of early noughties as well. I listened to a lot of 60s and 70s when I went on a musical discovery phase on my mid teens. These days ‘88 to ‘98 is the sweet spot.

I enjoyed watching Live Aid as well, a real blast from the past and very nostalgic. I was very young when it was on but I still remember it being on TV and how massive an event it was.

I was born at the very end of the 70's Christmas Time 1979 and my favourite for music probably is the 60's and 70s into the 80's. The 90's weren't my bag at all even though that was my "era" I did of course like some more indie or alternative artists from that time and I still enjoy finding new artists although none are mainstream but if I look at the bulk of what I listen to it is from the 60's/70's. I started with my parents record collection and then branched out from there.

I'm a Hildegard Von Bingen kind of girl.

Eighties definitely the most varied and iconic decade.

80’s was the best!

I watched the concert in its entirety for the first time when it was being broadcast this weekend as I wasn't born either (I've seen the Queen set several times before though, it's one of my fave YouTube vids).
70s/80s for sure. Remember Live Aid was done in 85 so half of the 80s hadn't happened yet and a lot of the artists started out in the 70s.

I used to get so excited listening to CDs in HMV! Then taking them home.

I'm not keen on memories of recording the top 50 on my cassette player and trying to get that to sound coherent and of a decent quality 😆

60s without a shadow of a doubt in my opinion.
