Ira Gaines Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 80s were clearly filled with shite music wise, but still gets the nod from me for the bands who came around and the bands who peaked. As far as my tastes go, it was a huge decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Where's the 50's option? ^^^ Mark Lamarr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Boo hiss... Done all my schooling in the late 60's and all the 70's and the music and fashions were incredible. I went from a hippie to glam then punk and disco in ten years. Then along came the 80's... Fuckin Brilliant Time to be alive. 80s music - mostly pish 80s fashion - pish 80s films - mostly ok, probably, if I thought about it 80s culture - horrible - all style over substance - using all the new technology without having developed the taste to master it It's mainly the music, though - some great records were made in the 80s, but the key period for rock/pop music is from '66 - 74, imo.

Tight minge Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 In reality the '60's for everything surely must be hard to beat. A time when the UK was finally getting back on its feet after the war and the first time such a thing as a disposable income really appeared. Certainly for music and fashion it was a decade of firsts. Having only just been born in that era, from a personal point of view I would go as follows: Music: the decade between '75-85: the rise of reggae, towards British SKA (although proper Jamaican SKA wipes the floor with the cover bands of the U.K. Era), MOD revival, Punk, post punk. Buzzcocks, the Buzzcocks tribute band (The Jam), Pistols, Clash, Bob Marley, Specials, Madness, The Beat, Joy Division, New Order, Half Man Half Biscuit, The Smiths, Echo & The Bunneymen, Bowie (especially Station to station, Low and Scary Monsters), the list is near endless. Fashion would be the same period. Skins, Suedeheads, rude boys, Mods and punks, transitioning through the casual era before it tuned to shit and lack of innovation with Stone Island, Ralph Lauren and outlet centres circa '86. The periods either side however; Glam rock, disco and New Romantics. What were people thinking! Football is a toss up. The '90's being a Motherwell Supporter were extraordinary. First cup win for near 40 years, finishing 'best of the rest' a few times before it became more common for us and playing in Europe. All not long after relegations, near relegations and stints in the first division. But overall, growing up in the '70's was magical for football. The home nations tournaments, Argentina '78, Wembly '77. Watching grainy European football from the likes of Budapest, Prague and Kiev on TV was something special rather than the saturation it is today and Liverpool and Forest were a joy to watch. Culture: all pre '89 with the division in Europe for interesting and exciting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 For music it's definitely the 2000s. Most of the stuff I listen to - mainly Hip Hop, was at its peak. Was it f**k stop misleading people with a casual interest in hip hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
