What was the best period for music?

cooldad

Simple, being a teenage boy when this




was singing about stalking, voyeurism, and being a sex offender.

Proper cruddy girl.

Glad someone has enough sense to bring the classics into this. If anyone wants to indulge in some Beethoven, Elgar and Rossini while still being cool with the kids get the soundtrack to Clockwork Orange.

Best period for music was probably the 4 and a half minutes of this:

There is no period. my collection varies from Elvis Costello to Elvis Presley, from Snap, to DMX, and Karl Jenkins

Either the period when Daphe and Celeste got bottled off the stage at Leeds in 2001 or the Cretaceous period. Too hard to decide.

Best period for music was the one just before lunchtime, because the music lesson room was closest to the chippy.

you go from Charlie Parker to Rubber soul by the beatles, and would witness some of the the best of postwar jazz before it's popularity is overtaken by rocknroll

I like to think I've got a pretty eclectic taste in music but, and I know some people will see this as heresy, I just don't get the Beatles. I just don't think their music has stood up to time and a lot of their tracks are just frankly annoying. Similarly, all the people who rave about how wonderful Frank Sinatra was... he didn't sing, he just talked! Finally, Jazz. Discordant musical masturbation.

1970's ................ Sweet, Roxy Music, Alice Cooper, Sparks and all things Glam ......................... up to Sex Pistols, Clash, Stranglers, Buzzcocks, Siouxsie and the Banshees ...... A great decade ...

I disagree with all of your points, except the last one. That's just fact.
EDIT: And whoever said Karl Jenkins can GTFO. The crudcatcher hates you.

Thats awesome, not heard that for ages. I think i first heard that in 2002 when i was at School and my Dad had it on a tape.

I'm a 90's child and have mainly been brought up on Trance right from its humble beginnings in 1993 and its the main Genre i listen to still.

However I'm open minded with music, aslong as its not Rap, R&B or the crap they have in the charts these days.

I think someone mentioned Clockwork Orange in a previous post, well it was a Early Trance remix of that theme tune that got me into Trance

I think the simplest answer to this is.
the period when you had a social life.
Eg, from leaving school to getting married and having kids.

I agree with this. BUT, have you seen some of the re-runs of Top of the Pops from the '70s they've been playing recently? There was some truly awful stuff that was more mainstream.
I also completely agree with Cooldad about Debbie Harry. She was in a league of her own, just thinking about her still weakens the knees of a man of my age. Mmmmm...

I think it's really old age that weakens the knees of men of my age.
But she was hot.
