It's a strange coincidence that everyone is going to list the decade they grew up with or heavily influenced their childhood.

Absolutely.

My dad's music taste has undoubtedly shaped the majority of my taste in music.

tbh, my main inspiration was Rage overnight on Fridays an Saturdays. Maes and I would tape it on long play vhs and watch it the next day or dub together tapes of stuff we liked. Opened me up to stuff from before my time my parents would never have influenced me with...

+1 vote for the mid 80s to mid 90s (if that can be classifed as a decade).

 

[glenferry23]

What would you classify Rage against the machine as? They started out late 80s early 90s and are one of my fav bands of all time.

Same. Bulls On Parade, magnificent.

Evil Empire is timeless.

Like the Denzel Curry cover?

On the topic of music, Splendour In The Grass announced their 2020 lineup this morning. Not great headliners to be honest. Flume is ehh these days. But the likes of Glass Animals, Jack Garratt, Dillon Francis, Grouplove, Petit Biscuit and Sofi Tukker has me considering.

 

[Quivorir]

Who are those people?

 

[Sozabarus]

Who are those people?

Can’t believe we’ve gone from classic names like The Rolling Stones and Guns n Roses to “grouplove” and “Petit Biscuit”. Where have we gone wrong as a society?

If I could react with sad emoji's, I would.

The Strokes, Tyler, Violent Soho, Thelma Plum, Methyl Ethel, PUP, Tim Minchin, Jungle Giants, Stella Donnelly, Alex The Astronaut all interest me as well.

 

[Buckleys Jocks]

Anyway as a 90s baby it was the 00s for me. Formative music taste years.

Same for me.

Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, The Libertines, The Strokes, & The Wombats early albums were always on repeat for me at the time.

These days if I listen to 'Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not' I get really strong flashbacks to my school bus days.

I quite like Neil Diamond too.

That first Arctic Monkeys album takes me back to my high school days every time, more so than any other album.

****ing horrible.

One of the worst covers I've ever heard, but im a huge RATM fan. He destroyed it.

Same for me but with AM. Dropped a week after my 18th and was on repeat throughout the HSC and the summer.

Hm I like the original but I thought he brought a ton of energy into it.

 

[Loonerty]

One of the worst covers ever is pretty hyperbolic I'd say.

Never forget the time he changed it to a Henry avatar after finally honouring his bet

I’d say the worst cover ever is Led Zeppelin playing their own songs at Live Aid. Abomination.

I had never actually heard it until you mentioned - just gave it a listen on spotify. Liked it (sorry Chef). Original version is still superior for me though.
