I can't stand them, but they defined disco. 80s: Great piano rock: Elton John and Billy Joel. Great rock: Def Leppard. For style that makes us cringe today, Loverboy, Night Ranger, Poison and RATT. Whitney Houston burst on the scene with a voice that blew us away. But the ruler of the 80s: Michael Jackson - no argument can be made against it. 90s: Nirvana rocked. Madonna vogued her way through. Garth Brooks made country mainstream. Michael Bolton sold millions of albums - WHAT WERE YOU THINKING PEOPLE? 00s: Tim McGraw - a man's man with a heart of gold (and a wife to match) For me, it’s fun to remember what defined music, not necessarily the music I like

50s: Gotta be THE KING
60s: the Beatles shall endure forever
70s: It was the era of disco, so I gotta go with ABBA or the BeeGees. I can’t stand them, but they defined disco.
80s: Great piano rock: Elton John and Billy Joel. Great rock: Def Leppard. For style that makes us cringe today, Loverboy, Night Ranger, Poison and RATT. Whitney Houston burst on the scene with a voice that blew us away. But the ruler of the 80s: Michael Jackson – no argument can be made against it.
90s: Nirvana rocked. Madonna vogued her way through. Garth Brooks made country mainstream. Michael Bolton sold millions of albums – WHAT WERE YOU THINKING PEOPLE?

Nice choices! I would have to agree that Rush has the best drummer to ever walk to the earth! Here is my list: 60's - The Beatles are amazing in most of these decades, however, I will have to most definitely go with MOTOWN for this decade. You cannot deny OTIS REDDING and Marvin Gaye in the 60's! They got more soul than fried chicken! I am trying to limit this but Smokey and Lionel aren't too shabby. 70's - the Osmonds...haha! Okay..now seriously.... I would go with Elton John, Billy Joel (this excludes 80's Billy Joel), Queen, & Bowie 80's - All the great wierdo's: George Michael, Madonna, and Michael Jackson 90's - R.E.M. & Tracy Chapman 00's - John Mayor - TOTALLY AGREE, he is AMAZING!! Too bad his personality blows! I know there are several per decade. I JUST COULDN'T DECIDE! I am going to download a few more songs on I-Tunes now. (o; PEACE OUT! Hi Allison,

Danny was a teenage writer that used to follow and report on the Doors and got caught up in all the drugs. Amazing book! Thanks for the response. I love your list!

Wish I could find my "Alive She Cried" cassette and my book "No one Gets Out of Here Alive". Beach Boys a close second. 70's ELO One my first Albums I ever bought. Remember I had to set the turn table to 78rpm. I'm old school. Really most top 40 was good excluding Disco. The Band and the Allman Bro's were really good but didn't really get into them until college. 80's The Cars, Devo and the Clash then progressed to The Pretenders, REM, Elvis Costello and The Replacements. Anything on college radio I liked a lot. 90's Nirvana later on in the decade it was Son Volt, Blue Mountain, the Tragically Hip and Whiskeytown. 00's Ryan Adams, Susan Tedeschi, Drive by Truckers, Kings of Leon 60′s The Doors also!

He has my type of personality when I am in a screw the world kind of mood yet he has a poetic way of explaining everything in a way that makes you think hard about what is being discussed. Kind of like a mallet to your thinking dome, you just have to listen to him when you are pissed off and you will get it right away. 70's, lets see, I will go with Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, Devo, R.E.M. and how about the group Yes.... All wonderful musicians of their time. 80'S Well I do not think you can think of the 80's without thinking of my boys The Bestie Boys, Seven Seconds, Minor Threat, ! Ohhh, don't forget about Wham! Uhhh Puke Puke Puke... 90's I will go with Nervana, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, GoodieMob, OutKast, Ghetto Boys, 3rd Base, Beastie Boys again, Cypress Hill. 00's Well not to much to be honest but TI, Jack Johnson, Dave Mathews, just to name a few. 10's Who the hell knows?
