Pick your musical decade!

Postby Mike » Thu Oct 11, 2018 3:27 pm

Choose a single 10 year period from the past, and for the rest of your life, you can only listen to music published from that time.

You can pick any 10 year period, so it could be the 70s, but it could also be 1958 to 1967, or 1996-2005, or whatever, if that's what you're into.

Now choose!

1984 to 1993. That encompasses high school, college, and early post-college for me, so it's the music of my formative youth!

Not fair! Should I pick a decade for every genre?

Okay, it's totally fair. But given the music and styles that I perform, I listen to music that covers about 275 years with more being added all the time. So, does this include the hypothetical "if you never performed music again," clause?

Did you get this from Threedom? They literally did this in the podcast today.

I'd say, because more music is being made now then ever in history, 2009-2018

78-88 basically just for Talking Heads catalogue, I miss out on the first version of Psycho Killer but I get the live version from Stop Making Sense so it's all good. I also get some early hip-hop and indie classics. Easy

Tough question. For jazz I’d say 1955-1964, plus or minus a year direction: the best Coltrane, Davis, MJQ, etc.

For rock, probably 1982-1991. This one is tough; I can’t leave out 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 from ‘82, but then I miss In On The Kill Taker (‘92). But this covers Minor Threat’s best, some great ska, Minutemen. . .

1893 - 1902

From Dvorak's New World to Sibelius 2, and a lot of other great stuff including on the popular music front.

I feel like i could do one artist easier than one decade. If I had to, I would reckon something like 65 to 75.

83-93

I grew up on 80s music, but I also want Grunge for the short period of time it was good.
