Rock Eras

No disco?

[The Critic]

70's. Not even close.

 

Despite the putrid, wretched, everlasting s***tiness of disco, you can't beat the 70s for Pure Rock Goodness.

 

Punk, classic hard rock, early metal, and early leanings of New Wave (Television, Talking Heads, Blondie, etc)

 

Never has been beaten, never will.

[MHizzle85]

I've always been drawn to the 80's. Not saying it's the best, but probably my favorite.

[southsider2k5]

Give me the late 60's and early 70's any day.

[GoSox05]

Late 60's and early 70's stuff like the Stooges, MC5, Modern Lovers, Bowie and Velvet Underground .

 

Mid to late 70's with the start of punk, new wave and metal.

 

Early 80's. Start of hardcore punk. Black Flag.

 

Late 50's and early 60's. Start of rock n roll.

Arena Rock, The Who, Zep, Stones, Pink Floyd . . .

[son of a rude]

the beatles are more pop than rock, but since they are so f***ing good the 1960's take the cake.

[Steve9347]

If we can stretch that era into the early 80's, with the beginnings of the Hardcore and US Punk scene, the DIY movement and UK 82, then you have it. The early 80's saw sooooo many outstanding Punk bands being born and coming into their own. GBH, Discharge, Adolescents, Social Distortion, TSOL, the list just goes on and on and on.

[GoSox05]

I would say that the mid 80's to the early 90's was maybe the worst time for music.

For popular music, without a doubt. Though the 2000's ain't much better.

kurt cobain killing 80's hair bands was the greatest thing to happen to music.

kurt cobain killing 80's hair bands was the greatest thing to happen to music.

 

BIG misconception there. Cobain didn't help any (nor did Alice In Chains or Pearl Jam), but the biggest culprit was the same one that is always there, the record labels themselves. They just took to signing any "hairband" that they could to try and cash in and they over-saturated the market. They even created hairbands out of bands that WERE NOT Hairbands. Same thing happens every time there is a fad. Look at Grunge. The big difference is that a bad hairband is still much more tolerable than a bad Grunge act, and that is why Grunge died so dang quickly.

Don't get mad at me because you like Granny porn...

Well all right...

 

PS Don't hate the GILF hunter.

[Milkman delivers]

Give me the late 60's and early 70's any day.

 

And anyone who says different is just flat-out wrong.

[Milkman delivers]

I think when you look at it all as a whole, we are living in the worst time frame for music from the 1950's through today.

[Rex Kickass]

Well all right...

Then you should replace the word tiger with cougar in your avatar SS2k.

 

Tough call. I think the late 70s CBGB's gene pool created some of the best indie music out there.

Plus, the 70s gave me some amazing Pop Music, the best Michael Jackson album and of course classic New Wave Yoko Ono.

[knightni]

I like pop "Arena" rock like Journey, Boston, Queen and Foreigner.

 

I like hard rock of Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.

 

I like early rock of Heart, Alice Cooper, Lynrd Skynard, and Foghat.

 

I like progressive rock like Yes, ELO, Bowie, & Super Tramp.

 

I like 80s rock Def Leppard, Van Halen, Dio, & Cheap Trick.

 

I like metal rock Metallica, Megadeth, Nirvana, & Soundgarden.

 

It's hard to choose.

 

 

 

 

[WilliamTell]

haha so far I'm the only one that voted for the the 50's to early 60's. I don't really have a favorite at all, but I like most of the songs when I listen to the oldies. A lot of stuff from the 80's to the present I find myself switching stations.

[knightni]

Oh, I like indie rockish "pop" stuff like They Might Be Giants, OkGo, Gorillaz, and Flaming Lips.
