Re: What's your favourite musical era?
Nice one, buddy. This is a tough one for me. I am sentimental to the 70's because that is when I was a child but I wish I could split decades up and say 1967-1979 which will take us from Sgt Pepper to New Wave.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)

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.

I could say I would even go so back as 1956 and those first Elvis classics. Or right up to date with what Bruce is doing etc. It's not easy to pinpoint our favourites is it?
On my albums thread I did do a breakdown of how many of the 1000 albums I had from each decade and the 1970's came out top, followed by the 80's but it doesn't mean anything I guess!
