Which decade do you identify with?

[Oyeve]

I was born in 1966 and was in HS in the early 80s so I got to be exposed to late 60s and 70s great music. I was into the 80s music back when I was a young man IN the 80s but now that I am 50 I realize the BEST music was in the 60s and 70s. The 80s had some good to great stuff but overall MOST of music in the 80s was shitte. Really. Don't deny it. Heres a reason why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLVIICWRbjM

Not sure I agree with you there. There was some decent music and bands that came out of the late 70s and early 80s.

U2
The Police
Men at Work
Tears for Fears
Prince
Depeche Mode
Madonna
Michael Jackson
Aerosmith

I didn't say all, just most.

That song wasn't even mainstream.

How can you not think Bon Jovi, Ratt, Warrant, Twisted Sister, Van Halen and all the other hair bands in the 80's weren't good. Also, what was mentioned. U2, The Police, Dire Straights, etc, etc...

[zinfamous]

The 20s. Shame I was born 70 years too late.

Sturgeon's Law applies.

I suppose, most people remember the handful of good stuff and forget all the crap. There were always tons of social problems in each decade, but no one wants to think about it.

 

[Sonikku]

I remember when I was little getting the Ecto 1 for Christmas Eve AND the Firehouse for Christmas day. Though the day I got an NES with Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt give it some seriously stiff competition, that may very well have been the best Christmas ever.

 

[John Connor]

I had to earn my NES. I sold candy bars in boy scouts. In fact, I sold so many that I beat every kid in like 6 districts. So they ran out of all the prizes to give since I won them all and I got a $100 gift certificate to Kmart. I knew what I wanted. A NES! I played that thing all night and day! My mom let me too. LOL

Again, I said most, not all. And yeah, it wasn't mainstream but most 80s stuff was just as bad.

 

[BurnItDwn]

1970s because Lemmy.

 

[Geekbabe]

I am hoping to identify with 2020

 

[NuclearNed]

I was born in 1970 & was in high school in the 80's, so I should identify with the 80's, right?

But in some ways I feel like a 70's child. I have a sister & brother who are both several years older than me, so when I was just a kid they were in high school & thoroughly immersed in 70's culture. I guess some of it rubbed off.

 

[Ricochet]

I can identify with both 80s & 90s decade.

 

[Thebobo]

I would say late 60s to early 70s for me.

 

[werepossum]

The sixties were the best - free love, hippies, civil rights for all, great music. The seventies did have that brief period where sex could give you nothing that time and penicillin couldn't cure, but disco is simply inexcusable. Bad decade, BAD!

The Disco thing wasn't bad, I got a kick out of it. A lot of the girls were into the tight spandex thing and the Rock vs Disco thing was funny to begin with

He is mixing decades and genres to begin with, but that is to be expected.

 

[SKORPI0]

Late '70s-early '80s. My college days. :thumbsup:

The Smiths

Husker Du

Plimsouls
Black Flag
Go-Go's
Depeche Mode
Psychedelic Furs
New Order
Erasure
Blondie
Pat Benatar
Eurythmics
The Jam
Missing Persons
Tears for Fears

Its just ridiculous - I could literally go on all day with the great 80s music that easily comes to mind. Yep, there was plenty of crap, but every decade has that. The 80s just had a lot better ratio of good to crap than most.

 

[Dude111]

80's & Classic Metal before it went into hibernation.

70s for me (Last pure decade) -- Early 80s also (Before this digital crap took over)

 

[dr150]

80's/early 90's

Saw this on Faceugly.

 

[John Connor]

I don't know about the 99 channel thing. When I was growing up we did have cable and there could have very well been upwards of 99 channels. Anyone remember David The Nome, Little Bits, or You Can't Do This On Television? Rocko's Modern Life was cool. Then shit went down hill.

[gdansk]

None of them really.

If I had to choose one I'd say the years 1900-1909. Dreadnoughts and pioneers of both aviation and video pornography!
