Gwen Stefani is good man...don't be a hater. Sublime is good no doubt (

), but I never really got into Nirvana nor Pearl Jam. I think I just have negative associations with both of those bands.

I'm precisely clueless on music outside of my favorite Genre, so I'll only list them, and I don't expect many (any) to know them apart from The Prodigy

:
(late) 80's - The Prodigy, Rude Bwoy Monty, Randall, Rat Pack (not the ballroom singers)
90's - The above, Chunky, Masterstepz, Sparks and Kie, Stevie Hyper D, Nicky Blackmarket, Hype, Shy FX, EZ, Soulja.
Mixture of D'n'B and old-school UK Garage.

obvious to me... the 60's had all of the best music. The Beatles in my opinion are one of man-kind's greatest achievements...
That era freakin' rocked. It kind of makes me sad how much music sucks now compared to the 60's and early 70's.

There are still a few good bands around, but not that many. And most of them are from that era or are mimicking that era anyway. The 90's saw a nice refresher for decent music, (Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, etc.) but nothing compared to the 60's and early 70's era.

I personally liked the 70's better than the 60's.
I'm surprised there aren't more votes for the 80's though. There was such a wide range and so much of it was ground breaking. Everything from hard metal (Motley Crue), to synthesized sounds (Alphaville), to punk (dead milkmen) and beyond.
as a child of the 80's I didn't realize how great that music was until I grew older and could appreciate it more.

1977 - Elvis Presley dies and Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols is released. That in my mind divides the 50s/60s/70s rock/soul/pop from the 80s/90s/00s punk/rap/electronica.

One vote for the 70's and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
