Critically - I'd agree. Popularity has to count for something though, so I feel like something along the lines of Guns n Roses would be more appropriate. They were at the tail end of the decade though.

Nah, I actually almost said I think they're vastly under appreciated because nobody can understand the lyrics. I've seen 100's of concerts, including Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones, and the 2 times I've seen them are the best 2 concerts I've ever seen.


I thought they were phenomenal when I saw them in Champions Square

I feel MJ would get that before Prince, especially with Thriller dominating the decade.

Yea Michael Jackson is the 80's pick now that I think about it

Not that I'm a huge MJ fan, but he's still the pick

70s - David Bowie


Hard to argue against this. What a fricking decade, with Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd all at the peak of their powers. Also have The Grateful Dead on the road.

60s was obviously awesome too, but the live concert became so much better in the 70s both acoustically and visually.
