will start from the sixties as im not too familiar with hard bop jazz, buddy holly and them man there.

60's

If you were talking about something worth listening to in the sixties, chances are you just got off the phone with Dylan. Say no more.

70's

Hardest pick. Point blank period. When you think of how much musical godshit went down in the seventies. You've got Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Queen and Pink Floyd on one side, then you've got Iggy Pop & The Stooges, The Clash, Talking Heads, Roxy Music and The Ramones. Guys like Zappa, David Bowie, Brian Eno, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. Country Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk, Post Punk. Abbey Road and London's Calling are less than a decade removed. How the f*ck do you top that man, seriously. Some of the greatest music ever recorded bet that. I'm going with Marquee Moon by Television, a ten minute amalgamation of everything that was good about the seventies, a punk band playing jazz guitar with dual solo's in a prog rock epic format.

80's

People tear up the 80's for Disco but wtf do I know about Disco. Saturday Night Fever has the best movie soundtrack Ever. There's a lot of synths in this decade, sh*t like Human League, Duran Duran and that. But why the f*ck would you care when 1980's was the decade that laid the basis for Indie (do we even call it that anymore) music today. You shouldn't care, at all.

Honourable mention: David Bowie - 'Let's Dance'

90's

Cobain had an accident or something, Pearl Jam capitalised, Mudhoney and Dinasour Jr were pissed, Brit-pop broke out, Limp Biscuit and Linkin Park hit the scene, girl and boy bands took over the world. Wrestling was quite popular as well and somewhere in between all this U2 became the biggest band in the world. That's where this entry would end if it wasn't for rap, or to be more specific; East Coast Rap. Hip Hop, young, spry and hungry, did not hesitate to curb stomp the sh*t out of every genre.

Queens get the money long time no cash

00's

Would need it's own topic and knowing this room won't get anywhere near the level of debate it deserves. Knowing this room all of the above was for nothing but ah well.

f*ck the editor btw, reason this post was split into different parts

blondie's a real good pick, i went with the college rock thing but that didnt really get recognition till the late eighties, where as an outfit like blondie really captured the spirit of the decade in their music, coked out disco drum machine neurotic synths driving guitars, fleetwood mac would've been another one although debbie harris would probably have up stevie nicks in no time at all.

'nother 80's one.
