bathory Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 there are way too many good bands for me to pick just 5 from a single decade. the only one of these that's easy is the 60s - beatles win, no contest. plus, they're actually a 60s band. if you don't call nirvana an 80s band you can't call led zep or king crimson 60s bands, imo.

custom55 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Following "In general, try to stick with when the band released their debut" limits... 60's The Beatles - if this band in not on your list... Listen to Rubber Soul and get back to meThe Rolling Stones - Satisfaction ( I Can't Get No ), Last Time, Jumpin' Jack FlashThe Who - I Can See for Miles, Happy Jack ( TOMMY !!! )Led Zeppelin - LZ I and LZ II Dazed and Confused, Communication Breakdown, Whole Lotta Love, HeartbearkerPink Floyd - Not a fan of the Syd Barrett years but they PF sis start in the 60's 70's Van Halen ( E D D I E )KissQueen ( no reference necessary )Rush ( duh )Aerosmith ( Toys, Rocks ) I'll stop here....
