What's your favorite era of music?

it's so hard to pick one era. i'm a huge fan of old 40s, 50s 60s blues....actually all blues from the 20s thru today, i LOVE grunge(pearl jam is my fav band ever, well, fav band not called led zeppelin), 60s garage rock, 70s rock(led zeppelin is the most important band of all time) 80s butt rock, newer garage/punk blues(white stripes, black keys style stuff).....its too hard to pick one era. i can tell what era is the worst though, just turn on MTV or any top 40 channel on FM radio.......

Probably 70s For me. the rock and folk type stuff going on was incredible. Led zeppelin, Tom petty, fleetwood Mac, John Denver, Dolly Parton, james taylor, jackson browne, the eagles, so much good stuff.

It depends what day of the week it is for me. Overall I can listen to just about anything. If I had to pick one over the others I'd probably go with late 60s thru the 70s.

I'm probably older than most of you but I like the 50's, 60's and 70's.

THIS lol you listed three of my favorite bands!

I got to see megadeth live for my first concert ever!

I agree with interloc "great music is created everyday". I was born in the 70s but I was raised on 50s and 60s music and now I listen to everything from Josh Groban to Ozzy Osbourne. You even see influences of music from the 50s and 60s in some current artists such as Bruno Mars and the late Amy Winehouse. I still listen to certain disco songs and love my 80s music and my 90s boy bands.

Since 2000, there's just not a whole lot I've been impressed with, and honestly have found rap to be the most tolerable over the past 12 years. I don't do country, so I don't know anything about it.

Second favorite...the 60's.

So, what's your favorite era of music? A little reasoning behind it is more than appreciated.

I'm slightly all over the map these days, but I couldn't agree with you more. honestly if someone had showed me your above post without context, I would have sworn on my life I'd written it and forgotten. the 90s really seem like the last era to have a galvanizing, original take on music. hell mike mccready remains the reason I play guitar to this day. slash, who also happens to be a reptile fanatic, is right up there as well.

doesn't matter what time period it came from, as long as i enjoy it. not very picky. i will say though, when I'm in my truck alone i usually listen to newer metal, '05+. whitechapel, suicide silence, as i lay dying, the devil wears prada. but i love anything from zeppelin to RJD2 and pretty lights to the black keys. i won't be one of those people that say they listen to everything, because i don't. country for the majority- no. but i do listen to a wide variety of music. lol

1700s-1870s AND the '80s. Nuff' said. Specifically 1986, which was a year full of aggressive Thrash-Metal :D

I don't really listen to music with lyrics these days. However, I had a rather large J-pop fad in high school.

My favorite music era is the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic period.
I've been playing the violin since I was 4 years old, so I'm a little biased.

I'm currently listening to film scores.
