A bloody difficult choice for me Carty as my favourite era sort of started in the 70's and ended in the early to mid 80s. On the whole though I think I'd have to pick the 70's, if for no other reason than it produced this track.

I'm the same as Gene. Love the music of the mid/late 70's and also a few songs from the 80's.
Bowie & Queen though just do it for me!

The 80s started OK, with the last gasp of Disco and New Wave, with Ska/Two tone still strong, and saw the start of the New Romantics, but after this influence had died out, by about 83 ish, became extremely poor in my opinion.

Difficult to choose because the music styles I like I have kinda stuck with from when I first started having an interest in listening to music. The 70s were great for punk and even though I was a bit young to enjoy it at the time I still listen to that today. I'm a big Pistols fan but also loved The Jam which carried me through the 80s. The 80s gave us great bands like Big Country and Goodbye Mr Mckenzie then when Britpop came along in the mid 90s it was a great time to see bands live. The 00s gave me Green day and Blink 182 etc. Big fan also of the Jesus and Mary Chain right from 85 til now. I voted 70s because thats when I started to take an interest in music and it shaped what I listen to now.

I will echo what has already been said: the mid-70's through to the early 80's was the pinnacle in my opinion for music. I didn't mind some of the late 80s and early 90s Britpop but don't feel that I've really missed much since then.

1970's for me, not just the music itself but the sound of 70s recordings before the onset of the digital 80s. Other than the many great bands, the 70s was, for me at least, the golden age for film soundtracks & instrumental music.

To be specific it's the mid/late 60s to mid/late 70s that I prefer, I think this was also the period when the design & packaging of records came into its own. Music tastes are subject to change but I don't think anybody has ever considered a CD or download preferable to a vinyl LP in terms of both quality of sound & tangible object ( no that there is an object where downloads are concerned! ), beyond cds & downloads being convenient.

Agreed,my interest in music peaked in the late 70s.some late 90s and 00s/10s stuff I don't mind, but its nowhere like as good as my favourite era of 76 to 80. On the topic of the 80s, after the mainstream ran out of creativity from about 83 onwards, some of the alternative, underground rock stuff wasn't bad, but the mainstream of chart music from about 84 to 89 was awful, with the odd exception.
A while ago I did a mix cd download and I did it in years, i.e. A 75 disc and so on. I started with 75 as that was when my interest really took off and some of the years like 78 took three cds to fit it all on.
The whole 10 years 84 to 94 I was able to get onto one disc, there was so little I liked from that era.
