Greatest decade for rock music?

[Simon Pieman]

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

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
