I really like the 60's sound, as well as some of the music that came out of that decade, but all the really good stuff came out of the 70's and 80's in my opinion.

+1 for Danny, the Big Band and 60s eras were THE important times.

In the 30s, blues was mostly underground and at best regional. Before that, there were very few writers and widely-known performes. No media, to speak of, at all...

By the 40s, there were enough radios and working musicians, audiences, technological advances, musical influences, to put it all together.

The 60s accepted and drew on all which came before, consolidated, amalgamated and music went / developed / germinated / matured, many separate ways. A truly, truly magical time for music.

Whoever said, and 'am adding a bit of paraphrasing-opinion, "...(veritably) everything 'musical' since the 60s has been sonic (self) hand jobs..."

...was being perceptive, intellectual, generous, gracious, sensitive and kind.

Actually, I read somewhere that musicologists rated the popular music of the '60s first and the music of the '90s second. All I saw were the results, not the criteria. I was surprised to see the '90s rated so highly as I never heard much I thought was groundbreaking at the time except Grunge which I liked but didn't think was great. It did arouse my curiousity enough to go back and check out the '90s. I discovered or rediscovered bands like Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, and Dream Theater. That led me to the neo-Psychedelic movement that began in the '90s and continues today.

Then as today, the best music usually isn't played on the radio.

Yeah recently I've really got back into the english rock/pop bands of the 90's, namely Oasis, The Verve, PULP, Suade etc. They all came out with some amazing music which I'm struggling to get my head around was released almost 20 years ago in some cases!

Lets post some songs, just because!

Oasis - Stand By Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9kdHXrJYF8

Oasis - Champagne Supernova (Lead Guitar and backing singing is provided by the great Paul Weller)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3C7DECI0jU

PULP - Disco 2000 (One of my favourite of all time.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJS3xnD7Mus

PULP - Common People
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuTMWgOduFM

The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work (Song about a parents battle with cancer which many people can relate to)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToQ0n3itoII

The Verve - Sonnet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2vGa-yLiso

Basically Urban Hymns by The Verve was incredible.

These are some of the more popular ones to start with, but delve in and its just as good!



As always your views may vary etc etc blah blah blah :lol:
