Good picks. Me and mate used to sing Take on me in metalwork. Not quite sure why I remembered that or brought it up but there you go.

So many great pop tunes from that eRa

 

[Fwoy]

I’m down the rabbit hole now

I don’t think they tuned up before starting

All I recall from them was a cover of Donovan’s Hurdy Gurdy Man

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Rob Halford. The greatest metal showman in history. What a ****ing legend

‘best live band around in the late 80s, early 90s apparently (if you liked taking acid). I didn’t get a chance to see them til early 2000s. Was too young earlier...

I liked taking acid around that time, but I wasn’t listening to that type of stuff! It was all acid house music back then, guitar music was pretty much dead in the U.K.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Can you imagine a song like this flying today? This is dirty rock and roll both in content and style, how it should be done. I ****ing love the stones from this period

What decade do people reckon was the best for music in general?

Late 80s to mid 90s for me.

 

[Cruyff14]

For me, it is the 70s.

****, your new avatar confused the shit out of me WealstoneRaider.

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

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

Some good ones there. You are a big fan of soft rock aren’t you

There abouts. So I was growing up in the 80’s and a teenager and in my 20’s in the 90’s

But the music you were exposed to as a kid was probably from your parent's generation which would be the two decades before?

E.g. I grew up on a lot of Beatles music because my mum was a child of the 60s and 70s.

I reckon most people prefer the music of their own generation though, not their parents, which is what I thought you meant. So yours would probably be 00’s with a bit from the 90’s?

Yeah but my main point was everyone prefers the music they associate with their childhood, whether it's their generation's music or the one before them. Almost no one is going to say the music that came out in their 20s.

 

[strauchanie59]

Younger than most, but loved the early 2010's. The 70's with the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and the like are close behind.

Huge, the 70s was so versatile too.

Big fan of The Bee Gees too.

What are some of your faves from that era?
