There are members here very into music, particularly from past decades, so I thought maybe a dedicated thread would be a good idea.
I've lived within 6 decades of music.
My favourite is the 1970s and I think the best (debatable of course).
I've realised since my diagnosis that for 20 years (70s and 80s) music was my 'special interest'.
I've not had such an avid interest since the 90s and in fact, I find the associations with music mostly too painful to be able to listen.
Music is a sure trigger to memories for me and often the associated pain.
So, why the 70s?
Tamla Motown, Soul, Disco, Reggae, Punk, Glam Rock, New Wave....
Fleetwood Mac, Abba, Elton John, Bowie, Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, Pink Flloyd, Velvet Underground, Gary Numan, B52s...
What are your favourite eras and what do you consider the (debatable) 'best' ?
Please feel free to talk about anything music related here including classical.

and not forgetting Peters & Lee
so many of my favourite artists on there, i managed to get coldplay tickets for wembley next year, i saw them back in 2022 and it was a dream come true
Great list.
Peters + Lee ... mmm ..
I'd love to have seen some of those.
You've reminded me actually that I've also seen Kate Rusby (not on my list).
It's a hard choice, but out of those, Elton John doing Yellow Brick Road would be my favourite I think.
