    For me personally its 80's music, but its a hard choice between 80's to early 90's music.

    I wasn’t born in the 80s but I really like 80s music :)

    80's by a mile. Forget Spandau and Duran Duran but the music by Joy Division … and by extension New Order (RIP Ian Curtis) especially Blue Monday can never be rivalled

    Then Classic Nouveaux … The Assosciates … Soft Cell … ABC … The Smiths … The Bauhaus … the list of great music is too long in my head

    My Father's Day present is a gig of Culture Club, ABC and Haircut 100 in December.

    I haven't got the hair for a bleached blonde wedge but will source a grandad shirt and burgundy Y cardigan and pleated trousers 😁

    It's a hard choice for me too, I also love 80's music and early 90's music. IMO, while the 80's had more great music, my most favourite music is from the very early 90's, as for the rest of the 90's most stuff was either bland and generic or bubble gum pop, just not for me at all.

    1980s

    As much as I love 80s music, after about 1987 it all went pretty naff IMO.

    I wasn't alive in the mid to late 60s/early 70s but I love what they used to call "Bubblegum" Pop.

    For me definitely the 80,s . Brilliant dance music, we went out to have fun and dance all night at discos ! Proper music unlike today imo … Wham , Spandeau Ballet , Culture Club .. soul , the list goes on . I remember having no money as a young apprentice but we knew how to enjoy ourselves.. it feels all so different now , if only we could go back . Happy days .

    It seems that the 80s are the most popular so far! I must say it's an amazing decade. Some of my favourite 80s songs are:

    Karma Chameleon - Culture Club

    Joy Division - Love will tear us apart

    The Stranglers - Golden Brown

    Hall and Oates - Maneater

    Roxy Music - More than this

    and anything by Kate Bush.
