Favorite Era of Music

[Reverie]

What is your favorite era of music and why? Favorite artists in those eras?

 

[Kino]

1980's are my absolute favorite. Journey, Def Leppard, and Whitesnake are three of my favorites from that decade.

My tastes in music are very, very diverse (Toby Keith and Biggie Smalls exist on the same playlist 😛). There's stuff I love from the 60s, and stuff from only a couple years ago.

Some of the highlights. I've associated each band with the decade that they made my favorite works of theirs. I like each artist listed enough to put at least full album of theirs on my playlist, rather than just a couple hits.

• 2010s: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Paramore, TSwift, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Luppe Fiasco, Maroon 5, LiSA (J-Pop), Er Aoi (J-Pop)
• 2000s: Green Day, Train, Fall Out Boy, Muse, My Chemical Romance, System of a Down, lostprophets, Toby Keith, The Ataris, Incubus, Blake Shelton, Kanye
• 1990s: Aerosmith, Blink-182, N.W.A, Biggie Smalls
• 1980s: Queen
• 1970s: Eagles, Styx, Van Halen, Billy Joel, Charlie Daniels, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zepplin, Kansas
• 1960s: Beatles, The Rolling Stones
• 1950s: Frank Sinatra

So, looks like the 2000s are the winner, with 2010s doing pretty well for itself (especially since we're only half into that decade). Some good stuff in the 90s, not to much going on in the 80s, and then a bunch in the 70s.

All great stuff 🙂

1980's are my absolute favorite. Journey, Def Leppard, and Whitesnake are three of my favorites from that decade.

1980's for the same reasons + Metallica. Then, of course, the 90's and I loved Savage garden, Backstreet Boys, and a bunch of other boy bands from that time. Brian McKnight was great too.

The 80's for sure, alot better than the garbage we have today.

1980's for the same reason as Kino.

I say from the 1950 up to the 2090 😛

Surprised to see a lot of 1980s. Most of my favorite classic rock titles are more 70s, but I also love 90s and 2000s-era stuff. Of the 80s groups Kino mentioned: Whitesnake and Journey are pretty good, but most of their songs aren't to my tastes. I haven't listened to much Def Leppard yet though.

The 80's for sure, alot better than the garbage we have today.

You just don't know what the good stuff is! 😛
