the 60's, particularly protest rock. That said, I do have a weakness for 70's catastrophe disco.

Hmmm just been thinking about it. Can't deny some of the geniuses that have emerged in the last 20 years, Oasis, Kings of Leon etc. And now Them Crooked Vultures, made up of 3 legends.

All the crap that emerged in the early 90's thanks to the Stock, Aitken and Waterman brigade. Forgettable shite.

i'm waffling away to myself but I really dont care

Hello! I wouldn't call it catastrophe disco, those dudes danced for their life and sung live! And the women were real women, not the sticks prancing about today. They took their craft seriously.

I think the 70's  was a great decade...it holds a lot of memories for me!
+ the songs were such that a listener could singalong.............until the punk years that is!! Didn't like the shoutyness of punk...

I am undecided

70's was my fave decade.  Never was fan of Marrillion.

70's and 80's for me.............so many songs i love from those 2 decades.....

i tell yer....i'd rather listen to some toptastic cheeseyness like charlene's 'never been to me' than some bloke with a weird name with his jeans hanging round his knobbly knees squawking 'yo..smack ma bitch up man..you wid da flo bruddah'.........

I really really love 50's music, especially this time of year, the old traditional Christmas songs are the best.


Also a fan of the 80's.

Spongey   You see I love N Dubz, Tinchy Stryder, et al, but equally I've got Mozart on i-tunes. (Have to say Mozart was slightly more talented than N Dubz IMHO). The 70's seem popular though.....

Ming it is never good to be undecided

That's another thing, I tend to like a particular song, I'm not a particular die hard genre or artist fan. (e.g; Love most of the Beatles stuff but cant stand some of it) That particular Marillion track just talks to me

Ahhh the 50's Christmas songs...laaavely

karms xxx..........honest i have no clue at all about current stuff........the spongettes gave me a list of cd's they want for xmas......i tell yer.....i was straight on the comp checking the names incase it was a wind up!!!

an wots that scream music all about?........heard that coming from youngest spongette's room the other day.....i shot up the stairs thinking she was wailing with a burst appendix or something........

the world would be a better place if we all wore knitted cardi's and sat in rocking chairs listening to val doonican.....

The 60's and the 70's I loved the disco era

I do be doooo wop bop wish I wasn't, I will get back to yoooou!

I used to go out with a guy who was into System of a Down. The trend didn't catch on with me and needless to say it didn't last I dont get the hype with the Killers either

Although, Cochise by Audioslave is in the car and I bang my head as I zoom down around M25

(and good to see you my lovely! x)

Nutter Well I'm sure whatever you decide, it will be the right choice. (FACT)

And on that note I must away, I have a friend coming round to play

and good to see you too karms xx..happy christmas/new year/easter/birthday an happy oooooooo we got the olympics what an opening ceremony!!

out of all the bands you mentioned there i've only heard of the killers.......it's official......i'm old...........

I would have to say mid the 1970s up to late 1980s was the best era for music. The 1990s was OK but not brilliant, and the 2000s have been crap on the whole. The charts this past year or so, are the worst they have ever been IMO, with hardly any real talent. I mean, Ladygaga is the best selling artist of the year FFS; how the eff has THAT happened!?


And who the HELL is buying CHERYL COLE'S ALBUM! She is utterly SHYTE, she has a horrid voice, and it was such a challenge for her to perform that rubbish song of hers on x factor the other week, that she looked utterly relieved that she had managed to get through it!  She would NEVER be able to perform a 90 minute set on a 50 date tour like really talented artists do. She got where she is on her looks alone and has very little talent IMO.


And the Sugababes have changed line ups AGAIN and are abysmal now, and I am sick of being force fed these stupid little stage school brats like Pixie Lott, Adele, Duffy and Leona fecking Lewis and being told they are amazing innovative talents. Most of the stuff in the charts now is crap and I thank God I grew up in a time when there was REAL talent. And I am sick sick sick to DEATH of bloody X factor or pop idol being number one EVERY Christmas!


Rant over!

What frosty said And yes, Cheryl Cole is tripe, and that new song of hers 3 Little Words is TERRIBLE

Yay it's not just me then Devil.    Apart from being devoid of singing talent; there is something about her that really irks me and gets right under my skin, and I can't quite put my finger on it.  And when I hear anyone say she is a national treasure, it makes my skin crawl.    What has she ever done except audition for a reality tv show and sing (very badly) in a very average girlband?

i like a bit of evrything i dont think i could pick just one time

Just wanted to add 'well said karma!'  I remember when you DID have to sell 100s of 1000s of singles to get to number one, now 50,000 will often do it, and most acts are rubbish and autotuned to death, and we do have a generation of youngsters now that just 'wanna be famous' and look up to people like Ms Cole and Victoria Beckham as their Messiahs.  It's frightening!  Another example of how shoddy the charts have been for the last few years is Westlife having FOURTEEN number ones!  All their songs sound the same, and most of downright bloody banal and bland. 

the 90's...I absolutely love it!!!!!  When I hear a 90's song it always brings back such fun memories, whether it was Oasis/Blur or some of the dance stuff.

Though there are some great Naughties songs too, but I don't like all the new stuff.  All the tinchy striders and stuff...can't abide that crap!

I love the Westlife ballads   I'd never call myself a fan, coz I don't think I own an album, unless I got it as a Chrimbo pressie and forgot, but Flying without Wings is one of my all time fave songs and I love their new one   I also love their version of The Rose, which I agree is an easy shot at No 1 but it was out the time I was getting married and I always used to stop and watch the vid counting down the days to my wedding day

LOL sorry Temps.  I don't think they are awful; I just find all their songs sound the same.  JMO of course.  I'm not a westlife fan.

I know Frosty...to be honest they're my guilty pleasure ....but I've always had a soft spot for boy bands and it's just such easy smarmy listening

Early 90's for me.

I was a raver....  

I absolutely loved new or remixed records coming out, I used to go to the little record shop on the corner and wait for the new imports!   I couldn't wait to get my next mix tape and I used to live for the weekend!!  Raindance once a month in a field and Home when the club scene kicked off again.  Oh they were the days!

Am the same as you Karma...half the time I couldn't tell ya who is singing/playing..If I like a toon I just like it!...
But the 70's was good!....dancing at the disco in me white bra..with the ultra violet lights...

It may have something to do with what age people are at the time. It often seems to be their teenage years. My favourite period is from about 1967-1974. There were lots of quintessentially English bands, Jethro Tull, Groundhogs, VdGG, LZ, PF, Free, and The Soft Machine to name a few. From the states, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Hendrix, and of course the King himself, Mr Zappa.

I would agree with ya Crossy....but some bands/songs are goodies for years & years...Jethro Tull were brill...before my time of course...but still brill & the Grateful Dead..well what can I say...

1970's....more around 1971 - 1974. Glam Rock.


Bowie as Ziggy, Marc Bolan & T.Rex , Slade, The Sweet.

I think I like music from all eras.

As long as I can singalong to it!

Can't wait to hear ya!!.........You gonna be here crimbo day Blizz ?

You would have loved Tangerine Dream Lilibet.

I think we are at my sisters, but I'll try to sneak on, just to see the mayhem!

You made me look them up!

I feel a bit sea sick now!

Late 80's/very early 90's rock.

In other words just after all the electro nonsense and just before grunge. As much as I enjoy Nirvana and the like it took a long while for rock to recover after those bands disappeared...
