Also, honourable mentions- 80s Brit Synth Pop, 65-67 Byrds, Hollies early Beatles, early Floyd (before poor Syd's demise), 70's R&B and Funk, Disco.
Frankly, you can have most contemporary pop music (he says, old fart that he is...lol)
Good post, Bobby
It's a good if not better idea to split these into periods and genres instead of a strict decade, which could involve many different styles of music.
Like yourself, I would say that mostly we would pick the music from our teens when we began collecting records.
In my case that would be from 1978 onwards with acts such as Abba, Blondie, ELO and genres spanning punk, new-wave, rock, pop, disco-soul and even some progressive rock.
After collecting all these years I would have to say my favourite era would be from about 1965 to 1982, quite a vast and varied scope of musical forms! But having said that, I enjoy most genres and areas before or since those dates.
