60's, 70's, and the 90's.

60's- Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles
70's- Bob Marley
80's- Red Hot Chili Peppers

(Red Hot Chili Peppers can be in the 00's also.)

90's. I listen to a lot of stuff from the 90's, examples are Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Moist, Sevendust and Foo Fighters. I like it the most because it was a lot of bands of this time that didn't care too much about commercialism. They also had a nice mix of heavy metal and more melodic music like classic rock, I'm talking about grunge. Nowadays bands like Godsmack and Nickelback steal those great bands' sound. Godsmack sound just like Alice In Chains, just far more crappy.

1968-1995. That also happens to be the life span of my godmother, but that's off topic.

Everything from Black Sabbath to Nirvana was in that span. Pretty much the life span of Rock and Metal when it was still good, unfortunately.

60's and 70's were the time when The Who and the Beetles played so I'll say around 1963-1977

1960-69- It had the Mods and then psychedelia. The Who, The Beatles, The Rolling stones and so many others are all great.

and....

1990-99- (-ish) becasue I love BritPop and a bit of grunge and alternative. Oasis and Blur dominated the mid-1990's.

I like just about anything up until 2000.. music nowadays sounds way to produced. There aren't enough bands playing music. It's being produced instead. You hardly or never see a group like the Beatles (not that they're a #1 band of mine) who do all their music with the instruments in their hands. It's getting sickening. All I want is to hear some REAL instruments. That's why I like the blues more than anything. It's real.

Well i would think that it was the swinging 60's to the rocking 80's. Well this era we are in has good music aswell but when Elvis and Micheal Jackson were around it was alot better. Personaly I have never heard very much of Micheals music. When the Beatles were around that kicked music off even more.

I say the 70's. I would say the 80's but everything was "Power Rock" which is kind of weird, unless you count Van Halen as Power Rock. The 1970's were amazing. AC/DC emerged out of Australia, Pink Floyd became more popular with Dark Side of The Moon, and The Eagles became popular too.

Sorry if this sounds like I'm flaming but it looks like you are talking about most mainstream music. I agree mostly though that music has become to &quotroduced" ,per se, now'a days.

Personally, has to be 90's/00's. Maybe 80's. Most of my fave bands are mainly modern. The only band I can think of I listen to that are not from those two former decades is Metallica.

From middle of the 70's to end of the 80's=great period of creation of Punk.
Then all the 90's to now, with revivals and sub genres appeared...
