Gotta say, Beethoven's sixth does it for me every time.

Best for pop/rock though, 70s - all the ideas of the 60s, refined.

FCN 4 - BeOne Storm 1.0 (hairy legged roadie)
FCN 8 - The Winter Beast (panniered hybrid)

The thing is with this topic is, when you listen to compilations of previous decades' music all the sh1t has been filtered out over the years so only the decent tracks are left and this distorts the reality of the period.

I loved Jazz/funk, jazz, disco, funk, heavy funk in the late seventies early eighties but when I listen to some of it now it's really crap.

As I've grown older my music tastes have really diversified and IMHO I couldn't say which was the best decade for music. Look at the 60's came in with Frank sinatra etal and left with Jimmy Hendrix, how different are they.

Drinking in bars since 1977.

Hey dude -

There's no better decade than the 60's... just check out the all time classic
Wooly Bully by Sam The Sham & The Pharoes.
This is regarded by many as the world's best tune!!!

You can hear a sample clip (and a few other great 60's samples) at :-

My favourite ever version of this song was performed by 2 inebriated French expats in a pub in Deptford to the words ''Rouler bourré.''

For many people though the best decade was their 20s, or anything later that takes them back to that period in their lives.

Can't really choose, there's been good music in all of the decades from the 60's as far as I'm concerned. I do though cling to a lot of 70's prog rock.

Picking up on Geoff_ss and the introduction of wider classical appeal. I found a quite astonishing little specialist canon on Spotify. If you haven't heard Stairway to Heaven sung as a Gregorian chant you have not experienced everything music has to offer. Abba's back catologue is on there too. Dancing Queen Shocked

Try this as an introduction from you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGv97-9N5rc

You can have Hey Jude, Bridge over Troubled Water, Wish You Were Here.

Don't OD!
For a bit of perspective:

Stairway to Heaven, Rolf Harris

Stairway to Heaven, the Beatnix

Stairway to Heaven, on the harp.

Stairway to Heaven, London Philharmonic Orchestra (version for Geoff) Very Happy

It's entirely possible that I'm the only one not to have made a version of it. Must go and warm up the spoons!

For me it's the 60's but it seems to be the decade when we reached puberty that most consider the "best". Nothing like a good tune to provide an outlet for those raging hormones and acne prevention.

I must say I'm always been a souly at heart of the northern variety in particular. But my varied taste comes from having a sister 15yrs my senior so I grew up eith a rock&roll influence and a lot of sixties sounds. My dad also had a lot of 78's and my elder brother got me into northern. Now my taste buds are being tantilised by stuff my daughter listens to.
