Location: Vernon CT | I was thinking about my personal favorite bands in each of the decades I have listened to music.
I would base this on the decade they were most sucsessful from your personal knowledge. Whats yours? (Note I say PERSONAL, Not the best Talent wise, The one's you enjoy(ed) listening to)
60's: Beatles, Beach boys, CCR
70's: Doobies, Allman Bros, YES (Difficult as there were sooooo many!)
80's: Police, Pretenders, Rush
It now gets diffucult for me:
90's; Cranberries, Metallica
even harder;
Maybe Paramore, Evenesence, 3 Doors down???
(Not many to choose from IMHO) |

| Interesting question, but I was more apt to have favorites in my early years of playing. Now I take it song by song. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | In the 60's I listened to the Beatles, Donovan, The Beach Boys, Cream and Johnny Rivers.
In the 70's, Jimi, Janis, CSNY, Joni Mitchel, Jethro Tull, Alice Cooper, and Aerosmith.
In the 80's, the drought started... Fleetwood Mac, Missing Persons, the Pretenders...
In the 90's, I turned my radio to NPR... Went to Dead Shows til Jerry died.
But there is Still Bob Seger, Melon-head, Neil Young, Springsteen, Gilmour, Willie, and all the Old Stuff for Old Farts.
[And the kids all say, "Why do they call that Classic Rock? All that was done before I was born and half of those people are Dead!]
BTW-- I am talking about the music from then that I listen to Then. Not music from then that I like Now. Cuz there are alot of musicians from then that I wasn't exposed to back then. I was young, y'know? |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Probably not the expected format, but...
60's - Beatles (there were other bands in the 60's???  )
70's - Beatles, Doobies, Lynyrd, Cat Stevens
80's - Beatles, Doobies, Lynyrd, Ozarks, Eagles, Nils Lofgren, CSNY, Neil Young
90's - Doobies, Lynyrd, Ozarks, Joe Walsh, Nils Lofgren, JJ Cale, CSNY, Neil Young
naughties - Doobies, Lynyrd, CSNY, Neil Young, Eric Bibb, Bruce Cockburn, Marshall Tucker Band (just recently discovered the last 2)
I'm not very musically adventurous, but I'm consistent. 
There are others, (eg James Taylor) but it took me 15 minutes to compile this lot as it is. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | 60's - Three Dog Night, Carpenters, Mama's and Papa's, 5th Dimension... anything pop really.
70's - 1976 More of the above until the mid-70's when Boston hit the scene.
1976 - Today. Blue Oyster Cult remains on the top of my list. I have favorite tunes from many other bands, but really anything by BOC will be my goto when I can't find something else. In fact there are very few other bands for which I like a whole album. Most there are just one to several tunes. While I have favorites within the BOC Catalog, I do like the entire catalog. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | I guess I can answer this in two ways -
Alltime favorites: Yes, The Who, Pink Floyd, Clapton (in all of his iterations), SRV, Moody Blues, Dire Straits, Chieftains
By Decade:
70's - Eagles, Steve Miller Band, Springsteen, Chicago, Kansas, Boston
80's - Heart, Springsteen, Robert Palmer, Jackson Browne, Bob Seger
90's - It gets kind of hazy here... only real standouts to me are Brian Setzer Orchestra, No Doubt, Green Day. I'm still discovering 90's music.
00's - TransSiberian Orchestra, White Stripes
There are a whole bunch of others, but none that stand out over the others. |
