Re: Your Favorite 30 Year Span Of Music
80's, 90's and 2000 for me. Best era for metal (Till about 93-95). From 95 on has been good for Industrial/EBM/Darkwave and such.

1960's/1970's/1980's.
1980's New Wave/Orange County Punk (early Social Distortion, TSOL, D.I., Adolescents, Agent Orange) is my wheelhouse. I was a teenager then, so it's what I tend to still listen to. I do however have a fondness for just about everything from the 60's and 70's that my parents listened to, from Folk, Soul to Disco, Gordon Lightfoot, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Marvin Gaye and everything in-between that was both bad and good from those decades.
I really can't stand anything made from the 1990's and 2000's this includes bands like Korn, Incubus, Green Day especially! Although, I do really like bands from the 'Brit-Pop' era: Blur, Oasis, Pulp, The London Suede, Primal Scream and The Stone Roses.
If I was forced to listen to one band/musician everyday for the rest of my life it would have to be Paul Weller and every band he fronted, like The Jam and The Style Council. I pretty much already listen to him everyday on my commute to and from work in some shuffled playlist on my iTouch. For over 4 decades this guy has been rockin' it like no other. Even during his "confused" part of his career "The Style Council" years he still managed to produce some timeless classics.

Re: Your Favorite 30 Year Span Of Music
The '60s, '70s and '90s would be my ideal answer, but since that'd cheating, I guess I will settle down with the '60s, '70s and '80s.
It really sucks to loose all my childhood music, being a child of the 90s and all, but I can't leave the two most prolific decades for classic rock music behind.

Re: Your Favorite 30 Year Span Of Music
Nine categories and I'm the only one who voted below the fourth. That's four major categories with no votes and the greatest era of all (1930s, 40s) with only one vote.
Can I throw some names at you of performers you're missing?
(just off the top of my head)
Duke Ellington
Count Basie
Louis Armstrong
Billie Holliday
Ella Fitzgerald
Lena Horne
Glenn Miller
early Bing Crosby
early Frank Sinatra
Fred Astaire
Judy Garland
Jo Stafford
Benny Goodman
Teddy Wilson
Lionel Hampton
Coleman Hawkins
Dizzy Gillespie
Charlie Parker
Louis Jordan

Me too! I wonder if we knew each other?
I doubt it, I was out in the Inland Empire (the dreaded "909", before it was "909" - was "714" then! heheh)

Re: Your Favorite 30 Year Span Of Music
Stating a decade is better because of _insert great performers here_ really can't cut it on its own. Most people's favorite eras will likley involve their own memories, their own music collections and moments. So obviously the earliest decades will have the least attachment for people. Of course you can go to Hoffman forum where the forumer age definitely skews older and one can find dozens of threads paying tribute to the Monkees all while anything post early 70s is slammed....
