Most influential musical decade
Please share your opinions on what was the most influential decade in music. I'd like you to choose between the 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's.
Which ones created the biggest shift in musical tastes and attitudes? Do you feel any of them inspired a real change in the youth of their generation?
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
Three of the most influential bands to ever exist come to popularity in that time: The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones. You also had individuals like Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and James Brown all come out in this decade.
The best types of music stemmed directly from those figures and bands and laid the foundation of the remaining good music that we have today.
In the 60s we had pirate radio stations to influence young people. It was a time when young people gained more freedom to choose and that was to some extent due to the differing styles in music.
