Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 13:18:57 I think the late 60s to early 70s was the best for rock music. But that spans 2 decades :-))(

The 1960's. (granted Zeppelin and The Who made some of their best stuff in the 70's) Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 13:28:27 Definately 70's for rock

The 1960's. (granted Zeppelin and The Who made some of their best stuff in the 70's) agree with that, apart from the last bit. 60's all the way for me Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 14:17:57 I'd go for the little known 1890's...
Despite the Victorian's claiming The Moon for the British empire with their steam powered space ship, there was still an undercurrent of disillusioned lower-class types who's moral couldn't be raised. Luckily these peasants couldn't afford instruments, let alone play them, and it was left to Lord Edward Tresugglesworth the first Space-Man and Earl of Cornwall to adapt the new space technology to create the world's first powered guitar. Lord Tresugglesworth later went on to to create the world's first super group: Arthur Conan Doyle (Vocals / Rhythm Guitar) Tresugglesworth (Lead Guitar) Holst (Bass) Tchaikovsky(Drums) The band managed 3 years (1890-93) before tragedy struck and the elderly Tchaikovsky succumbed to a pretty heavy Opium addiction. The death hit the teenage Holst the hardest; whilst on the road he'd looked up the Russian as a sort of father figure. Despite this the band decided to battle on with Johann Strauss replacing Tchaikovsky on drums. However the new line-up only lasted a year before Strauss' insistence on playing Waltzes and Conan Doyle's addiction to middle-aged, French prostitutes split the band apart. The members of the band each went on to have continued solo success in various areas. Apart from Tresugglesworth who took the break-up hard and hit the bottle. Bitter about the way it ended he spent his life travelling the world trying to erase any record that the band ever existed. err.. the end? I think I took a vaguely amusing idea that the 1890's were the best decade for rock music and got a big carried away with some sort of mini short story without realising it. Sorry about that.

Brilliant Ben :bow1: Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 15:17:38 Define rock.
As my favourite band are Pavement, I say 90's. Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 15:22:19 the 90's or today probably! some great bands in the 90s! 80s was shocking (with the exception of a few) 60s were just plain crap (i really hate the beatles and that influenced my decision a lot) added to that it just isn't modern anymore is it? 70s is ok but its all about glam rock and sqeaky voices and im not a Sex Pistols fan either.....

Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 15:55:52 It's ali about influence in my eyes.
I think it has to be 60's 70's. Music today is a whole different kettle of fish and is more business than music. I personally believe 90% of the stuff churned out post nirvana is pretty toss with the odd exception of bands like Sound Garden, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins... At least back then alot sounded fresh, nowadays it's faux retro and sounds too samey. But eh? I don't really like rock anyway, so i should shut the fuck up and let those in the know add their two peneth. Title: Greatest decade for rock music?

Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: Piemonte on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 16:47:00 You can do what you like. I'd have though someone who is into music could at least appreciate the influence they have had on modern music, along with other bands at that time as well
I assume your band sound like american metal as you think eveything is shit and gernrally post like a miserble teen Title: Greatest decade for rock music?

Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 18:40:22 Damn fine question, but I think from a purely academic viewpoint the 50's should be included......because the likes of the Beatles and Stones were so heavily influenced by stuff they were listening from the R and B bands, and artists.
Skiffle, rock and roll, and rockabilly were also formative. and somewhat neglected now. Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: Maverick on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 19:24:19 Completely agree Reg - but still for me it was the late 60's early 70's too - festivals were still relatively uncommercial (well some were), live music was still accessible to most that wanted it, and the bands I saw back then my lad still feels are better than most today!

Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: SwindonStevo on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 21:11:58 i think every decade has its ups and downs. im my opinion the 70s was best torwards the end.....80s the start, 90s middle (94-96 the best), etc.
Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, March 1, 2007, 00:09:50 Every decade has it's highs and lows in terms of rock:
I think the biggest influences came late 60s and early 70 and for that they have to get the biggest recognition. Each period has it's major influences e.g. Eddie Van Halen in the 80s but you have to look at talent, evolution and catchability and it's late 60s/early 70s that trump any other era Title: Greatest decade for rock music? Post by: cavpete on Thursday, March 1, 2007, 08:02:51 I agree with Simon on this one :shock: The late 60's and early 70's contributed so much to the music scene. Music style changed and that was the catalyst for others to follow. Everyone in the 70's was influenced by a style a group of the 60's and so on. i liked the late 70,s early 80's when the punk revolution hit the scene and anarchy ruled soapy tit wank..
Groups from the 70's i still listen to are: glass elevator iron butterfly led zepplin to name a couple |
