| | 60's, 70's, and some 80's. Overall I'd say the 70's.

| | The band I'm in does a bit of 50s and lotsa 60s and 70s. I gotta say the 70s is where its at for me. Even the late 70s. While disco was busy sucking, some good rock was still being made. I have a friend whose band does late 70s/early 80s rock almost exclusively and I really enjoy hearing them. They even throw in a few rocked-up disco tunes that don't offend me! (don't tell anyone, though :hehe . A lot of that music has the "Oh, WOW" quality for me - you know, "oh wow - I remember that one!" Songs you don't hear on the radio any more. Its much like the 1976 Ford Comet - when I was in high school, there were a million of those things on the road. Everybody had one, and they were almost universally pieces of ****. There's one in my town now, lovingly restored by a car buff and driven only on nice days. Now, when I see it go by I don't think, "what a piece of ****" - I think, "Wow! What a sharp looking old car!" SG
 Hey - Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket? |

| | First, I was born right after Nixon resigned, so I didn't really "grow up" with this music. My dad listened to country music, so in the '70s I grew up with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, etc. I've generally enjoyed rock from about 1964 to 1972, so I would have to say that '60s rock is my favorite. However, I've been liking '70s music a bit more in recent years. If punk can be classified as rock, then I would definitely like '70s rock the best. Awesome discussion question! As a teenager, I almost bought a 1976 Plymouth Arrow that was souped up to be a drag car. They had crammed a bored-out 383 big block under the hood. LOL. I have pictures of it somewhere...

| | Do you remember the Chevy Vega? I think that was more a piece of $#!+ than the Comet. I didn't see too many Ford Comets however, I had one friend who recieved one for his first car in 1983-84. I did used to see a lot of Mercury Mavericks. {Same car as the Comet} . I watched that movie Duel from 1971 the other night, it starred Dennis Weaver and it had to do with a madman Big Rig driver taunting him. His car was a red Plymouth Valiant probably with a straight or slant six. Back then they were considered junk too but when looking at it now it was actually a nice little car. It's a shame though through the whole movie he ran the car on cheap *** Ethyl.

| | I play in a Sixties band, so I guess I'm influenced by that... but every era had it's great music - 40's swing, 50's rock'n'roll, 60's pop, 70's glam & stadium rock.. then pukk, 80's... hmm, I guess new romantics, synthesisers and over-production, 90's went a bit astray with 'manufactured' pop, then into the 21st century with a resugence of guitar-based bands. Long may it continue! PS: No, I don't remember the 40's & 50's! I grew up in the 60s and the 70s were really my era
