Just been listening/watching a run down of number one's from the '80s on the telly and it was great to hear some of the brilliant tracks like "Tainted Love".
I loved the '80s - all that New Romantics stuff, but the downside has to be the big hair (Dawnie knows what I'm talking about), OTT make up & yuppies.
But then I started thinking about other era's:
'70s
Glam rock - Yes
Clothing that only looks flattering on stick insects - No
'90s
Sleek hair & ceramic straighteners - yes
Grunge - No
So I thought I'd ask the good people here what they like and dislike about different decades.

Favourite Decade
I was born in 79 so I don't remember the 70's - but from what I've seen of the archive footage I feel I've had a lucky escape!
The 80's? Well all I really remember about the 80's is how annoying my older brother was with all his music and records and stupid clothes.
However I love 80's music now, especially the 'fist clenching' ballads.
The 90's I enjoyed in-between bouts of being a petulant teenager, I loved grunge and my hero was Kurt Cobain in the early 90's, then later I go into dance music.
The 00's have to be my favourite because it's all finally started to come together and I met my partner in 2002.
I know I should probably be commenting on the fashions and styles etc, but as I'm somebody with absolutely no fashion sense and I never really conformed in any way, I can't really recall what was what and whether I like it. :lol2:

It has to be the 70's for me. A great time to be a teenager/young adult. Great music (for me!), travelling the world, not having too much to worry about (few responsibilities).
A thoroughly great decade :lol: !!

I loved Nirvana and really like a lot of the music from that era e.g. Stone Roses.
It's the grunge fashion I hated. I was at college in the 90's. All horny and looking to meet sexy guys and they've all got great hair and are wearing hoody's. Not sexy :confused:

The music was brilliant (to my ears) and I was in a band too, so I lived for the music and gigging. I wasn't interested in guys but some of the girls looked right rough too with their crusty hiar.

Hmmm, tricky one this, i like music from all the decades
For me, I think the 70's would win though :D
Led Zeppelin, Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd etc, and later Punk :D all great stuff.
I wasn't so keen on the 80's,
but the 90's had the Prodigy, Pixies, Breeders etc, and Nirvana, Pearl Jam, all fantastic :D

60's
A fantastic decade
I was born.
The first thing that sprung to mind was that in the 60's my family moved from the slums of Sheffield to a much 'posher' area into a house that had a bathroom, with a real bath actually fitted into the room and an indoor toilet, just off the porch and central heating :shock:

Quote by lilacgem
I liked 'when the forests echoed with laughter - remember laughter'?
An obscure quote which should pinpointed the time to those who can hear it being sung in their minds.
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - one of my favs, I saw them at Knebworth :thumbup:
I can still smell my brother's Brut.. he overused it slightly!! :cry:
Zep still fantastic.
Going off to be dazed and confused right now.

Warming the Bed
we were born in 77, both brought up with Beetles (his dad loved beetles & heavy metal) my mother Beetles and Dance / pop music. He loves Metal from most decades, me mix of everything from late 80's early 90's and some to present. Must say mavorite decade is 00's as my daughter was born in 03
I'm a 70's girl too :smug:
I was well into the glam scene in my teens and spent a couple of years as one of the tartan terrors too :giggle:
I loved Slade, T Rex, Sweet, Mud and Wizzard
It was also the decade I discovered rock music for myself instead of having to listen to it second hand via my big brother.
I discovered Queen
to me still the greatest band in the world, Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Roxy Music, Black Sabbath,Bowie, Alice Cooper
Then of course the punk revolution with the Sex Pistols, Blondie, Jam, The Stranglers
I was never into the Mowtown scene but I did like Average White Band and Earth,Wind & Fire.
Such a crossover of musical styles and all before I reached the tender age of 20!
The personal stuff saw my first ( but certainly not the last ) boyfriend, the end of my school years and the start of my adult working life, the feeling of getting that very first pay packet ( £16 as I remember ), moving house for the first time in my life and the best of all, my eldest son being born in 78.

I was an 80's girl myself, would do it again in a flash! Madonna's 'true blue' 'borderline', George Michael's 'careless whisper' etc.,... out dancing with my flourescent socks, one pink one orange, matching coloured fingerless gloves and hair with a 'rat's tail'.... anyone else remember these? fab!
