Peter Bradfield selected 70's

The 1970's was the best decade for Rock Music, at least what is known as Classic Rock these days. Although Corporate Rock was creeping, i.e., Boston, most of the Rock music of the decade was still very much still being innovative without being where it had to necessarily hide some of the angst, open admitted lyrics about everything from sex to drugs, including love and social commentary, in the lyrics as had much of the 1960's music. Also the long form of songs was definitely at its height in the 1970's in regards to Classic Rock ("Stairway to Heaven", "Black Magic Woman", "Kashmir", "Freebird", MMEB's "Blinded By The Light", etc.). Also the best FM stations to play Rock Music were found in the 1970's, until only recently with the possibility of being able to listen to stations worldwide (I a matter of fact am posting this from Atlanta, GA to a Valley area, PA radio station). And the influences into Rock 'n' Roll of other styles of Music were definitely at the peak of perfection in the 1970's. There was also several different forms of Rock 'n' Roll available, besides the Corporate Rock, was Hard Rock, Heavy Metal (starting with such bands as Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult), Southern Rock was at its peak with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet, etc. And then there was the best Punk Rock in the 1970's with The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, and The Talking Heads, etc. And of course can't forget some of the best of the new New Wave also came in the last few years of the 1970's with such acts as The Cars, Nick Lowe and Blondie. And even Reggae Rock and Ska Rock was at its peak in the 1970's!

Joe Fisher selected 80's

Camp Confer rocks to 92.1

john shade selected 80's

All hair bands from the 80's should tour again because all of my generation would go to the concerts

Bill Counsil selected 70's

It could be a bit broader then just the 70's. 65 to 80's. When the 80's hit us, the rock was still really good but they began to focus on the show, i.e. Big Hair bands. Many, many great one too. Also they were more innovated with electronic sound and new ways to create their music, also good. But one could say the same from the 50's era, when rock was born, to the 70's.

LeAnn labs selected 70's

It's a tough call, but I have to go with the music I grew up listening to in the 80s. I still love it - any time I hear a great 80s song, it's like I'm traveling in time back to carefree childhood days.

jeff engel selected 70's

Every generation had their favorite decade, but one one can denie, the 70's Rocked!

flatlnder selected 70's

My opinion. 70's BEST ROCK decade. Of course I've heard some GOOD rock since then but maybe it was my "frame of mind" back then that made that music sound better. Still many special tunes from the seventies.

Chris selected 70's

without a doubt!

chuck todd selected 80's

the best!!! keep up the good work

Ben Rickert selected 70's

I really think every decade had something to offer but I liked the 70's best. Look at what the 70's gave us; Kiss, Boston, Foreigner, Kansas, Aerosmith and the list goes on and on and on.

Music King selected 90's

How can't the 90's be #1. This is sad that people think 80's are the best. In my eyes the 80's are in last place by a long shot.

Sharon selected 60's

What a grand time to be a teenager in the late 60's. The music was fantastic with the Beatles; Rolling Stones; CCR; Jim Morrison to name a few. We were the 'make love not war' generation and believe me we lived life to the fullest.

ken quiggle selected 60's

grow up in the 60's

Brian Newman selected 70's
