70's 1971 in particular was a very fine year for all things Greasy and Fuzzy

Right now, for reasons non musical, it would have to be the mid 1640s and I'd also have a crack at 1685 as well.

Late 70s & early 80s for me, and I'm more interested in the decades before this period than 1985 - now.

The 60s. Because I never lived through them.

Excellent choice. It doesn't get any better.

One theory I have about why is that people still listened to the radio then, and the radio hadn't really balkanized genres yet. I remember listening to Kasey Kasem's show and getting a bit of EVERYTHING within the space of an hour or two... rock, country, funk, novelty records... David Bowie back to back with Dolly Parton... no formula. I remember when the seventies ended thinking 'Finally, the eighties!', but while a good decade too, in retrospect the music from that decade wasn't as warm and human and funky... even new wave and punk had pretty much blown their wad by the early eighties. I know I know but even late in the 80s there was still a legitimate underground -- you just had to pick it apart from all the REM imitators eventually but there were still a few noteworthy groups lingering around. By the 90s the rug got pulled from underneath that underground. I would like to believe (as Dog3000 would have it) that the underground is coming back. I have yet to hear that kind of music though...

"Biggest Aspidistra of the World" anyone?
