Is He Right.?

[jordyboy14]

Talbot has made a statement on another thread stating that the 80s were the most popular era for music I would disagree my time would be the 50s

[douglas9401]

I couldn't narrow it to a decade.

[gingejbee]

"the most popular era for music"....what on Earth does that mean?

[beckyboo]

Music went out the window when Glam rock appeared. 50's and 60's can't be beaten for innovation.

[ummmm]

The most popular to be played at discos.

[hc4361]

It seems to be 60s music that gets people on the dance floor at events I go to.
Very much depends on the target audience.

[Voltage]

70s for me anyway!

[hc4361]

As I said, spath - 60s. That track was released in 61

[hereIam]

60's for me, but it all depends on when you were born most of the time ...

[Mamyalynne]

At a family gathering, then yes I think it's far more likely to get all age groups dancing.

If playing to a particular age group then you'd chose a narrower remit.

[pixie374]

It would probably depend when you were a teenager.

[-Talbot-]

Yes he is.

[hc4361]

Indeed it does, hereIam. Music brings back so many memories of mum singing along to the radio, first girlfriend, the juke box in the pub on lads' nights out, parties and nightclubs.

[Mamyalynne]

I must say though at our family parties we always have a good sprinkling of Tamla and Northern Soul which does pre-date the 80s but the kids have grown up with it.

[hereIam]

Early Beatles music brings back a lot of memorise for me hc, particularly going to see them live ...

[Mamyalynne]

I see that Talbot's remark has lost the context in which it was made. Which is why we are all over the shop.

[hc4361]

Can't beat the live gigs in front of relatively small audiences. Saw a lot of great groups and singers at my local Odeon.
