Trilliam Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srgi2DkDbPU 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.

Trilliam Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S8d3jim9Gg Honourable mention: David Bowie - 'Let's Dance' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliam Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WAVESURFER Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm gonna flip it a little bit, and have 2 from each decade; one 'black' music, and one 'white' music. Cause I'm greedy like that. 1950s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BudszBq0iyc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llKL-Z6iAgo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilliam Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 sh*t, I didn't even mention Velvet Underground =/ Don't like their music but JMC were vital Great picks for the noughties. Interesting vetting process lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpent Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 60's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9mCp8SifM So many that fit the bill but i decided to opt for this song. Songs from the Beatles, The Who and The Kinks obviously come to mind aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpent Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 70's I have to echo Jubez here as i found it very hard to single out just one song for this decade with so many historic songs coming from this era, John Lennon, The Police, Queen and many more need a mention aswell.

serpent Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 80's Another tricky period but i feel Blondie was a massive inspiration for the sound of the 80's. Dire Straights, Duran Duran, Madness also get a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpent Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 90's Bands like Oasis, Blur, and Pulp obviously spring to mind . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpent Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 00's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEukS2YN9B8 My selections aren't the most original but i feel each song uploaded does have a distinct sound and is a good representation for their decade.

Guest WAVESURFER Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 sh*t, Blondie, how could I leave them out. Good selections, serpent. You too Jubez, especially Marquee Moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliam Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliam Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 hmm, wiki says that Kiss single was 1979 depeche mode then w/e take on me came out in the eighties didn't it ? all things considered this thread was a smashing success. hats off (to roy harper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
