Knowing the age range on this forum we may go back to the 1950's (or before?).

1954 to 2003 - the Johnny Cash years !!

Re: What's your favourite musical era?

This is a really difficult question because I like all music from Vivaldi to The Sex Pistols. I suppose I would have to settle for the 70's because there was a wide variety of styles in that decade and bands/singers are still instantly recognisable. Also a lot of the music early on was upbeat compared to all the political messages that followed. Nothing after the 90's interests me greatly and as for right now, I haven't got a clue what it's about.

I hate saying that because it makes me sound like a typical old person but it's true.

1960's for me many great groups about and those instrumentals which you no longer hear nowadays from groups like the Tornados.

Re: What's your favourite musical era?

Music from the mid-60s until the mid-70s before the rot set in with Chinn and Chapman style songs and second-rate pop groups (Mud, Glitter Band, Suzi Quatro etc., you know who you are). A bit of a revival in the 80s with the likes of Blondie and Eurythmics but nothing worthwhile since.

Johnny Cash, an amazing voice, I will always like country music.

But my era has to be early 60s, Billy Fury, Shane Fenton, Searchers, Everlys, Elvis, Neil Sedaka. I still have some of my old 45s up in the loft.

Re: What's your favourite musical era?

I do a pop quiz & find I answer more questions correctly on the 1950's than the other decades, never get any 2000 right. I do like the 60's & 70's music as well.

This one....

It's a bit Americanized though.
