Maybe if I'd been more well verse in music during the 80's I would understand why anybody was ever a big fan of Def Leppard. They were on tv the other day with the song "animal" which was apparently the biggest song off their biggest album and they were the biggest band around
... and the song was **** and they were ugly and dressed worse than almost anybody I've ever seen. What the hell was going on?
EDIT: I blame Thatcher. They probably all worked in some factory in Sheffield that she closed down and formed a band as some kind of punishment to the British people for ever voting tory.
Im voting for the 90s rage agianst the machine, Pantera, Alice in chians, foo fighters, QOTSA, RHCP release there best album, Oasis, Blur, the prodigy, nirvana and lets not forget the spice girls
Every decade has something of substance to offer and there's arguments for all of them, but I personally feel both the sixties and seventies take some beating.
Both infinitely more diverse and groundbreaking than the others by comparison. At least in my opinion.
The sixties developed and shaped the way music is today and the latter end of the seventies gave it all a kick up the arse.
My age probably colours my view, although I'd like to have been born 10 years earlier and had a more conscious awareness of the 60's.
Why is the 80's ahead? Ok, so thrash was born in the 80s but it only came of age in the 90s. (Personal view, bite me!) Are there a bunch of closet Bon Jovi fans out there? LOL
60's: Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Keith RicharRAB, Pete Townshend, Steve Howe, Robert Fripp...That's strictly guitarists that did rock songs off the top of my head.
I say the 90's. It was the golden era of pop punk and skate punk (and no, I'm not referring to Smash and Dookie). I guess a lot of the music and banRAB I listen to is from the 90's.
