Originally posted by shavixmirThe 80s also had Sonic Youth, The Swans, Black Flag, Husker Du, Throbbing Gristle, ESG, The Pop Group, Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees, The Pretenders, Run DMC (EDIT: you mentioned them, nevermind!), The Human League, Modern Lovers, Grandmaster Flash, Elvis Costello, Old'tallica, and countless other great artists if you're into the whole eclectic thing. But unfortunately, time has left it's stain on the 80s and these bands go unrecognized while crap like Wham! and Duran Duran is what people remember.
You rank the music in the 80's higher than the music from the 60's???
Let's see:
The velvet underground
The Beatles
The Stones
Bob Dylan
Creedence
Jimi Hendrix
Pink Floyd
versus
Duran Duran
Culture club
Wham!
Run ...[text shortened]... happy mondays
The cure
See...the 60's win hands down!
That's the same problem with the 90s and 00s. People are only going to remember the drivel that filled the radio airwaves and not the innumerous amazing acts that are around.
I would still say the 60s are better than the 80s, but not by much.
Originally posted by FingerlyFor me it was the 80s. The 1780s of course.
I'm a 35-year old. No matter how young I feel, and no matter how open-minded I feel I am, I'm already locked into a time slot with regard to modern music appreciation. And yet...!
I grew up in a musically-oriented family, and I feel my tastes reflect it. I still feel a thirst for new favorite tunes--I feel that happy times are deeply associated wi ...[text shortened]...
I would rank the decades as follows:

Mozart and Haydn were re-defining music in Vienna while Beethoven wrote his first works, Carl Stamits was resident composer at the Versailles while Antonio Salieri was court composer to Emperor Joseph II of Austria, Giovanni Paisiello wrote the Barber of Seville, and Niccolo Paganini was born.
Need I go on?
I'm with Varg and Darvlay on the Mothers. Zappa also pioneered many of the midi and digital devices that gave bands of the eighties their sounds.
For me: best - 70s, 90, 60s, 00s, 30s, 50s, 80s - worst
In the words of Rubenstein (as so similarly quoted in the chess forum) Dooood! The 80s is the suck!
Led Zeppelin Uriah Heap
Boston Jethro Tull
Lynard Skynard Credence Clear Water Revival
Stones Hendrix, Doors, Joplin, Beatles
Bowie Eric Clapton/Cream
Aerosmith Steppenwolf
Ted Nugent Traffic
Peter Frampton Allman Brothers band
Bad Company Joe Cocker/ Bob Dillin
Black Sabbath Fleetwood Mac/ Heart/Kiss
Any one of these bands' music is timeless...hear it today...as it was back then...60s and 70s ROCK!!!
