Well, I prefer the '80s. Then again I'm heavily biased by my musical tastes. But hey, the REALLY great heavy metal bands ruled supreme in the '80s!

Without the 60's there would have been no Heavy Metal Bands!
Without the 60's, there would have been no end to segregation in the southern States of the US, no beginning of the Gay Rights Movement ----need I go on?

Well I really loved the 60's and all my favourite music is from that era. I STILL love the Kinks, the Small Faces, Led Zeppelin, the Four Tops ... the list is endless. I had a cowbell and clackers and flowery bell-bottoms. Oh, I do miss it, I really do. Peace, man.

I was born in the 60's but even though I was obviously too young to appreciate the music of the era at the time, I have to say my hard drive is jam packed full of 60's songs and it is the only music I really enjoy....perhaps it's embbeded in my subconscious |

Hey Black Sabbath is an heavy metal band which started in the late sixties (well for the sixties it was really heavy stuff). I saw them live a few years ago when they reunited, was an awesome show. And I love Pink Floyd which is not heavy but such a great band. |

Well, Heavy Metal was original part of the "Underground" movement in rock music, and that started in the late 60's. Bands like King Crimson were part of this movement too. And the late lamented Jimi Hendrix was still around then, and his influence on music at that time was phenomenal.

I completely agree with you on that, if they would have not innovate and tried new things the music today would be completely different. |

We'd probably still have Frank Sinatra sound-alikes singing My Way! Oops! Go to any karaoke pub, and they're still around!

Brynne: no worries, I always knew you were female. I'd be VERY surprised if you were male actually!
Missdoh: no, YOU don't REALLY need to state your gender. It's quite obvious!
Zephyr: don't know many women who know about the Zephyr Zodiac. I know even less who'd use it as an avatar!
KellyQ: you anglo-saxons and your unisex names! Argh! In Greece there are MALE names and FEMALE names. No way you'd confuse one for the other.
Oh, I'm male btw! My avatar is a CD single cover by a german heavy metal band, Blind Guardian, showing an Elf crossing the icy paths of...ugh, I forgot the name! The cover is inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, as was the full-length album (Nightfall in Middle-Earth) the band released after the single.
Ironic that you mention the Greek names being only male or female because when I was a kid I went to school with three other Kellys, all boys! I hated it! I always thought I'd change my name to Cassandra (Greek name definitely) when I was an adult. Little did I realize that by that point, I wouldn't care that I had " a boy name". |

Think of how many Spanish and Spanish American men have the name Maria! And how many Frenchmen, and French descended Americans/Canadians etc., have the name Marie! At least when the name was in common usage in the UK, it was spelt Marion as opposed to the female spelling Marian. |
