1990's?

I have included three 80's videos as I believe the 80's kicked the ass of the 70's and 90's put together :mad: ..

I think Led Zeppelin were the best of the 70's and Pearl Jam best of the 90's by far.

However, the 80's had (all these bands at their peak) Wasp, Guns N'Roses, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Ozzy, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Poisen, Kiss, Lita Ford , Aerosmith, Tesla.

And to anyone who says Metal is not Rock Music..

Linky

Fago!

Undoubtedly the 80's!

Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Iron Maiden blossomed in the 80's, ACDC, Guns & Roses, Boston.... The list goes on.

80's FTW!

Dudess

The 1980's dude.

Rock? The 60s imo (that includes the early 70s).

Mr. Presentable

The 1980's dude.

70's, no question.

We had the best from

The Who
Mott the Hoople
The Boss
Led Zep
Former Beatles
Glam Rock
Punk Rock
Prog Rock
.........

Incidentally, I think the 50's should be there instead of the 90s

Mr. Presentable

The 1980's dude.

Close the poll quick! The 70's have 100%

Ahh, nuts!

OutlawPete

1990's fo' shizzle.

If a mod want's to add the following as an option to the Poll:

The 1960's peace my brother.

Then that's cool with me

Sorry Mike

Hopefully a Mod will fix that if they read my last post.

I voted 70s cos that was the best :pac:

I'm a boring fence sitter.

I think Oasis,Blur,smashing pumpkins,radiohead,Nirvana and pearl jam are enough reason to vote for the 90's.But then again I am a 90's kid.

galwayrush

Although Permanent waves came out in 1979 Stateside, but 1980 this side of the pond, added to Moving Pictures, makes it the 80's.
Close shave with the 70's though, Led Zep, Floyd, Sabbath etc.

One thing is for sure - all of those decades are better than the **** we have today.

The 60s. The late 80s were quite brilliant too when you take into consideration the likes of Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, Husker Du, R.E.M., Wipers, Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Violent Femmes, the Replacements. Of course they didn't garner all the attention they deserved but still...

MackQ

The 1980's dude.

Rock was really finding its feet in the 60s.

However most of the bands who have exerted the greatest influence on rock music until now probably had their heyday in the 70s. I'm thinking of Led Zep, Floyd, Queen, Sabbath, The Who and all these iconic artists and I think in 20 years time this will still be the case.

Also I think the classic rock songs of the 70s have stood the test of time better than the classics from later decades.

Yep, late 80s awesomest time ever for indie.

Where the fúck is the option for the 60's?

A shambles of a poll is what this is.

RonMexico

1990's fo' shizzle.

Does anybody think that the next decade will make up for the pile of **** that was the past 10 years?

I'm hoping for a new album from:

Faith No More
Soundgarden
Guns N' Roises
Slash Solo Album
Another Rage album?

I'm hoping FNM play a decent sized venue in Dublin where I actually may be able to get a ticket to go see 'em.

The 60's is Classic Rock 101, in fairness.

You got away lightly. :P

There were plenty of brilliant albums over the past ten years if you're willing to look hard enough.

ascanbe

They all have lovely rock music...

chakotha

Mid 60's to mid 70's then late 80's til mid-late 90's.

Pdfile

The 1980's dude.

50/60/70's... a mix of all, you cant name just one...


but tbh, 1970's with thin lizzy, u2 where still wee nippers and led zeppelin where **** as ever.


Good times.

magma69

Can't believe only 7% went for the 60's. The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher/Taste, Early Zeppelin, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Love, Janice Joplin, The Doors...the list goes on.
60's>70s>90s>80s.

K4t

The 1980's dude.

The 70's. Pink Floyd. 'Nuff said.

wandatowell

Late 60's, 70's, 80's and half of the 90's cos of Mr. Rory Gallagher

I love a good album cover

Mossy Monk

1990's fo' shizzle.

I love them all but I grew up with Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Def Leppard and AC/DC. 80's for me.

Dragan

The 1980's dude.

The 70's , by the 80's the incidentals of what rock was had somehow been replaced with playing as fast as you could, as drunk as you could.

Bull**** basically.

Dan Dare

The 1980's dude.

Which Decade? For me, 1968 to about 1997 (Massive Attack - Mezzanine),

bluto63

I'm a boring fence sitter.

Close call between the 90s and the 70s but in the end I had to go 90s. With Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Nirvana, RATM, Pearl Jam, it's hard to think otherwise

And in fairness, there were some fantastic bands from the last decade

Corkfeen

The 60's and 70's without a doubt. So many feckin' legends became greats back then.

dster

We just had the noughties. Does not not qualify as a decade?

Lily Allen, Dizzy Rascal, P Diddy, Britney... the list is endless.

Agreed.

I actually voted 90s, but in reality, I meant about 1984/5 - 1994/5.

I'm gonna agree with the damn 00's. Just because what you hear on the radio is crap doesn't mean there aren't good bands.

And I suppose I'm going to be accused of being naive or something.

Blue850

70's, when Bon Scott was front man for AC/DC
