With the likes of the 60s influenced Amy Winehouse and Duffy doing so well in the pop charts. Any band or musician looking to make it big in music really cant go wrong with 60s style music. :-)

Sorry but nonesence like that will just make me vomit :lol:

Amy Winehouse and Duffy are doing well because there sound hasn' been heard for a long time. So obviously we're gonna get a few years of clones and then we'll be back to another genre.

It will always depend, what decade you were brought up in. In that case I was brought up in the 70s, and Radio 2. Then, they played much from the 50s, 60s, and easy listening 70s music. Your favourite music, will be what you grew up to, I believe. The 80s were ok. Although, Radio one was still not my favourite station, for music or presenters.

 

Local stations had their own "feel" then, and played a better variety of music. Reflecting the decade by music was not neccesarily so, because if a 90s child was brought up with Radio one, then music from the past, maybe wouldn`t have featured in their life, when they were growing up.

The 00's are the best era.

It depends how you define Pop music in the 60s, not all of it was Pop, some of it was very Rock & Roll, and a lot of Country Music.

The 00's are the best era.

Ive been bought up to the noughties. I think your average song has a lot more texture and depth nowadays

I'd have to go with the 70's - for the pure diversity.

yes it WAS pop!.... real pop as opposed to the manufactured c**p of today.

you lot crack me up....

without the 60's thered be no 70's, 80's, 90's or 00's..

 

the 00's the best?... but EVERYTHING around now is directly derived from the 60's!

 

the header posted the question 'was the 60's the best era for pop music', not what was your favourite era for pop music.... which is a totally different proposition.!!!

 

how can people "brought up in the naughties" possibly understand the mood of music in the 60's?.. (or 70's 80's 90's)??? you cant! god for those of us who were around at the time struggle to get it right, remembering the socio/political scene that determined musical direction.

 

there has NEVER been , and never will be now, such a creative period in musical history because it was all NEW . groups vying for 'cred' as new techniques were discovered monthly and the whole blank canvass of opportunity was rapidly being filled. EVERYTHING that has come since owes a debt of gratitude to the 60's and mainly to the beatles who led the pop revolution.

there was more in the 60's prior to business taking over and stiffling the scene , but i cant knock the late 70's for variety... thanks to punk and the emergance of independant record labels.

theres utterly no soul in music now.... they sing from the wallet and not from a creative perspective as they did in the 60's.

 

this can be seen more then ever in black music... instead of singing about deep emotional love (i was made to love her, worship and adsore her' ) they sing about rapeing white girls, drugs, robbery, ... but mainly just sex... thats 'deep'? :lol:

 

and if you have 'indie' in mind, again theres not 1 indie group who hasnt copied 60's derived music, thats hardly 'deep'.

 

the only thing that 'modern' music does have on 'retro' is production techniques that OF COURSE has developed over the last 40 years.... but that doesnt make music today better, just easier to create,.

70's, 60's, 80's in that order for me with 90's and 00's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the field

 

70's easily for me as that is when my favourite genre classic rock first started making a big impact

 

Probably 10% at most of my music collection is from 1990 onwards

 

Anyone that says the 00's must be on a wind up :unsure: :lol:

I do love the 60's too - I think it was a ground-breaking period. Having said that ... it had its fair share of cr*p just as much as any other decade!

true... there was some awful stuff about, especially early 60's, pre-beatles.. and late 60's when business got control of it. for eg, manfred mann 'sold out' to commercialism, mm himself loved jazz and wanted like many other 60's acts to experiment and play 'cool' music. however they have to live and sold out , they played stuff they HATED , ragamuffin man etc...
