70's, 80's, 90's and now

Could you decide which are your fave 70's, 80's, 90's and now tunes (2000- present), the ones that make your heart pound and you wanna shout it out cos you know all the words and the moves?! It goes without saying that NO and JD aect are there... but for a change...

My choice

70's - ABBA - Dancing Queen (dont laugh) 80's - The (mighty)Wah! - Story OF The Blues 90's - Livin' Joy - Dreamer now - The Doves - Pounding

My head is like a box of frogs now cos its so hard to decide

Hmmm... I didn't really realize music in the 70s... Genesis "Firth of Fifth", perhaps (or something by Black Sabbath)...

80s Simple Minds "Don't you forget about me" (what a surprise )

90s (very lame time period musically speaking) 3 Doors Down "Duck and Run"

now The Killers "Somebody told me"

Great idea!

70's: David Bowie- "Heroes" (you can't argue with perfection itself)

80's: New Order- Blue Monday (yes, we're all sick of it, but it was groundbreaking, admit it...)

90's: Radiohead- Creep (miserabilism in the charts!)

As for the current decade, I really don't know. Ask me again in 2011!

sorry...

Yeah, Bere, you spot on about the 90's it was just too dull for my liking, music just could not seem to find its way if you know what I mean! I suppose after the 80's period it was just not good enough..No wonder it was a big time for pills and thrills!

The 80's was amazing but I am enjoying "Now" and each week brings a fresh buzz to my ears! And NO just ride it all the way through the decads

seventies: sunday girl - blondie eighties: shout to the top - SC nineties: lithium: Nirvana now: not finished yet.

Well, aside from NEWorder/Joy Division of course, i'll go for : 70's : 'Wurtherin' Heights' _ Kate Bush 'Message in a bottle' _ Police 'Are Friends electric'_ Tubeway Army

80's : 'a promise'_Echo and the Bunnymen 'Ghosts'_Japan 'Up the down escalator'_The Chameleons 'Fashion'_David Bowie 'Hyde and Seek'_Howard Jones 90's : nothing comes to mind at the moment

current : Arcade Fire, Gorillaz, Interpol and Bloc Party.

Hold on now...You b a cheating!!

ONLY 1 choice per decade I got bout 10 per decade but I managed it..just about!

How dare you acusing our Beloved Moderator of cheating?

Ouch, gulp, sorry... Here goes then...

70's : 'Are friends electric'_Tubeway Army

80's : 'How soon is now'_The Smiths

90's : 'Protection'_Massive Attack

current... 'Dare'_Gorillaz

Genesis?? what the f?

we had wars goin on in our street between the mods (Jam/Specials/Madness) and the Rockers (Genesis/Cheap Trick/Led Zep etc).

proper water fights i might add!!!

Oh... I forgot about Pink Floyd ... So I make a change...

70s... Pink Floyd "Wish you were here"

80s Simple Minds "Don't you forget about me" (what a surprise )

90s (very lame time period musically speaking) 3 Doors Down "Duck and Run"

now The Killers "Somebody told me"

70's Paranoid-Black Sabbath

80's Wardance-Killing Joke

90's Paranoid Android-Radiohead

00's Times like These-Foo Fighters

Too many JD/NO.

deleting Genesis for the Floyd. that's much better!!!

actually "Banana Splits" by the Dickies is one of my all time favourite school disco seventies songs. everyone had the yellow 7" single. a classic!!

I'd replace Wardance with Love Like Blood for the Joke.

Hmmm, never got the big deal about it. Good song, don't get me wrong, but why did it go top 20?

think Wardance (requiem, empire song, frenzy etc) are all better songs, but Love Like is an overall definitive 80's song. We've got Love Like Blood on our Jukey in my local Pub, but if it got swapped for Wardance, the regulars would go nuts. It's like swappin this Corrosion for Temple of Love.

70's: I can't really remember. I was only 12 in 1979, but I think it was lots of swedish music including Gyllene Tider.

Hey! I wrote John Foxx. I know I did!

Anyway, anyone remember Drinking electricity? I think they only made one album in early 80's.

70's KRAFTWERK - The Model This song made me a Kraftwerk fan for life

80's INNER CITY - BIG FUN This song made me discover house music and it had that fantastic Yamaha bass preset called solid bass

90's KENT - När det blåser på månen The first song I heard from this Swedish band, it's so moody and it features a melodica

NOW MYLO - Drop The Pressure One of the few memorable dance tracks of the 00's

70's- I was too fookin young , but now my favorite place to go out is Club70 with abba, david bowie, blondie and others. Such a beautiful place to drink myself to death, hehehe. Average visitors age is max 25. Interesting, erm?

Pointless to try to pick just ONE per decade. The list would change every day.

OK...

70s- Clash City Rockers, The Clash 80s- Blue Monday, New Order 90s- Friday I'm in Love, The Cure Now- ummm...ummmm...wait, I know this one....Maybe Bohemian Like You, The Dandy Warhols?

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Smashing Pumpkins for the '90s? Their songs "I am One," "Mayonaise", and "Zero" are definitely some of my favorite songs of the decade. Electronic's "Gangster," Depeche Mode's "Halo," and PSB's "Closer to Heaven" are also on my list.

I'd have to flip a coin between the final two for each decade.

70's :The Clash-Complete Control Stevie Wonder-Higher Ground

80's :Cabaret Voltaire-either The Safety Zone or Sensoria The Fall-Fantastic Life

90's :R.E.M.-Find The River

00's :The Mekons-Hate Is The New Love

so many, but these come to mind:

'70s: what's going on--marvin gaye tiny dancer--elton john (what's so funny 'bout) peace, love and understanding--elvis costello oliver's army--elvis costello september--earth, wind & fire

'80s: take on me--a-ha come on eileen--dexy's midnight runners around the way girl--LL cool J she bangs the drums--stone roses blister in the sun--violent femmes

'90s: enjoy the silence--depeche mode no scrubs--TLC disco 2000--pulp parklife--blur baby's got back--sir mix-a-lot

now: disillusion--badly drawn boy hey ya--outkast so far...
