'50s & 60's music for me. That and anything Bollywood. 

50's was insipid whitey music with its only spark the hits they stole from black artists. 60 was a flowering of our greatest music that got poisoned by disco. the 80's was perhaps the greatest era of musical creativity that began in the mid seventies and continues until today. Music today is democratic. It reverted to the artists doing what they can on their own and gaining popularity on their own fan base and not through glitzy marketing.

I agree. The eighties had great music. Maybe it was good or maybe it was because we were coming of age. I saw a downward trend starting in the 90s.

It's the aging process!  I remember an old uncle of mine saying music took a nose-dive in the 70's!  His last hero was Englebert!  He always played for his wife, "Please Release Me!"  And she would respond, Go To Hell!!

Nice one, Base.

The disco reminds of my free care free days in Guyana by the punch box
