What is your favorite era of rock/ rock and roll?

Late 70's/ to mid 80's: Punk/New Wave/ Hard Core era: Sex Pistols, Ramones, Patti Smith, Television, Lou Reed, Black Flag, etc.The only real heavy hitter from that list is Oh Sees so I added a few more, lol.
For the 2000's don't forget Linkin Park, Ty Seagal, Jay Reatard, Killswitch Engage, Bedouin Soundclash, Jack Johnson, The Weeks, Bombay Bicycle Club.
I know I'm forgetting some... Dillinger had an album in the 90's and so did Converge. It will come to me. Good job on that list.

Late 70's/ to mid 80's: Punk/New Wave/ Hard Core era: Sex Pistols, Ramones, Patti Smith, Television, Lou Reed, Black Flag, etc.Throw Metallica, Maiden, Priest, Motley Crue for this era too and I would be happy. I dug WASP, ACDC and other hair bands from the early to mid 80's along w Minor Threat, Misfits, DK and the like.
Edit: I forgot to add in the 70's soul too as I love what spawned the birth of hip hop.Post edited by tempo_n_groove on0 -
80's Rock: metal, paisley underground, alternative, early hip hop: R.E.M., Dinosaur Jr, U2, Go Go's, Metalica, etc.Wow another great thread....well while being a dj back in school mostly spinning dance music of ALL sorts to dorms, student unions, house parties off campus the 80' rule for me. Man, our crew FCC (FUN CITY CREW) played the dawning of rap/hip hop, funk, disco etc. The birth of something called music videos and THE CHANNEL to watch back then MTV.
That channel gave way to the start of bands such as U2, RUSH, Metallica, Talking Heads, Michael Jackson, Prince, Def Leppard, Tina, Fugazi, David Bowie, The Clash, Van Halen etc etc. I could go on and on, in fact right now THE only 📻 station I listen🎶 to down here in here in Palm Beach County FL is sunny 107.9. Which plays only 70s, MOSTLY 80s and 90s. Great Station of which there's an app so I can listen in anywhere I might be in this country.

Being a D.J. sounds like a blast! Cool that you got to do that!
I was sort of a home D.J. for my nephews when they stayed with me for the better part of a couple of years. They seemed to like a lot of the stuff I played, especially Neil Young and even (surprisingly for their age) Lou Reed."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

What early hip hop were u spinning? When that music was becoming a thing MTV wasn't playing it so DJ's, word of mouth and some radio were the only way that music was spread around. Look how big it's become now too. Wild.0 -

When I referenced Fugazi and Metallica it was NOT with any play on MTV. It was in general that they rose to my prominence in the '80s. In fact I believe Metallica was reluctant to make any videos until the idea for 'One' came about late'80s and was played to that movie I can't remember.

As far as what we spun in the early '80s started with some that actually came out in '79 but were so huge they carried over into '80 and beyond.
Fatback Band..... I like the girls summer '78
Sugarhill Gang....Rappers Delight September '79
Funky Four + 1.....It's The Joint
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five....The Message
Curtis Blow......These Are The Breaks...this one was huge
Whodini.....The Freaks Come Out At Night
In our crew we distinguished ourselves from others in that we had our own rappers when we had battle of the dj crews/bands. We had male and females, no other crews had this so we always won and got paid extra for it. I even somewhat rapped lol, through in a few lines even though I couldn't rap worth shit. Only thing I can remember saying is something like 'Easy Earle here to rock your world' but I could scratch mix and kept the party in beat.
I wish I still our old 🎶 party cassettes tapes another way we made some money to buy more remixed extended versions that no one else had. Fun days, damn that was around 40 years ago time flying by.

Very cool about the DJing. I watched The Getdown and enjoyed their take on that part of history. Check it out if you can.
Any Afrika Bimabata or Kool moe Dee in there?
Also where were you located? I know the mix tape is how stuff got around back then. I sometimes forget the importance and provenance of them...0 -

Omgoodness, I totally forgot about Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force...Looking For The Perfect Beat. We would play that extended version and it would bring down the down house. Especially the way we would mix it. It was an easy go to cut that would get everybody on the floor. The only other track I can recall that could do the same or more was Funkadelic's 'Not Just' Knee Deep extended remix. Fifteen minutes of straight up dancing, everyone was sweating after those cuts. We steamed up the the student union with condensation. Peeps from that era I'm sure still talk about the fresh cuts we would play and how we played them. Awesome stuff.
Yeah, back then I went to school in VA, Hampton. We were the middle of the road, they were the DC peeps, Philly and of course the NJ/NYC peeps. Home now is WPB, FL trying to stay cool only in Florida as I close in on retiring.

The guitar solo around the 7 minute mark is classic Funkadelic playing and one of the best ever.

It's The creator George Clinton came up with the word *TWERK*. Instead of saying work he sang twerk near the beginning and this was back in '79-'80.
