Me and my sister are trying to establish which decade had the best rock music? What does everyone think in here?

60's-
         
70's-
       
80's-
       
90's-
       
00's-
       

[Simon Pieman]

I think the late 60s to early 70s was the best for rock music. But that spans 2 decades  :-))(

[Rich Pullen]

Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix et al.

The 1960's. (granted Zeppelin and The Who made some of their best stuff in the 70's)

[Peter Venkman]

Definately 70's for rock

[Piemonte]

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974

[Arriba]

i agree with sie pie

[STFCBird]

Does this include soft rock? Coz Marillion were ace  

[jayohaitchenn]

Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix et al.

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

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.

Define rock.

As my favourite band are Pavement, I say 90's.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

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.....

[Piemonte]

How can you hate the beatles?

[jayohaitchenn]

cos he is a rettttttttard.
