Btw this is for the most significant rock acts of each decade, not "best" or "most influential".

70s: Led Zeppelin
80's: Van Halen or some shit

>>61986280
70s = Bowie
80s = Michael Jackson

>>61986280
>Led Zeppelin
>AC/DC

70s is Led Zeppelin
80s is obviously Michael Jackson

>>61986280
70s would be sex pistols/ramones

80s would be pixies i guess, there wasnt much huge rock in that decade

'70s is Queen, you tards

>>61986382
Sinatra isn't rock either, he's blues
Rock didn't exist in the '40s

>>61986382
>>61986382
fucking frank sinatra isn't rock

>>61986318
this seems right, with led zep having an almost godly presence with the 18-35 demo (lots of interviews showed people talking about no matter when they were touring, everybody poured out to see them)

van halen fits because there is not other band that defined the decade's excess...metal wasnt mainstream, motley crue copied them, and they're rock.

MJ is a strong case though

>>61986436

70's - Pink Floyd

>>61986280
40s is Bing Crosby, Sinatra wasn't really that big until he released Songs for Young Lovers in 1954

neither of them are rock though, you should've started the chart in the 50's, OP

>>61986612
Queen was much more popular in the 70s than in the 80s

>>61986612
nah, queen was burnt out til Live Aid and their videos stalled their popularity in the US

Queen's peak was in the 70s, but they don't define that decade either, bc pink floyd and others

>>61986434
>70s anything other than Zeppelin
No. You could argue against MJ for the 80s - you'd probably be wrong but you could still argue against it. But you can't argue against Zeppelin for the 70s.

Anyone who thinks 80s is anything but Michael Jackson can leave.

>>61986708
>you can't argue against zeppelin for the 70s
pink floyd

>>61986532
If we're talking about music in general, I'd say MJ for the 80's EASILY. If it's strictly rock then GNR, AC/DC, and Van Halen all have a case.

2001-2006: music is changing

>>61987228
80's could be The Smiths, REM, Sonic Youth etc
I'd probably go with Metallica tho. Seems to fit your chart a lot better.

>>61987176
they literally invented Hard Rock

>>61987176
Read the first post, this is not for the most influential. If it was we wouldn't have had beatles or nirvana.

If we are going by "most significant, not 'best' or 'most influential'" I think 80s is no doubt Michael Jackson and 70s is no doubt Led Zeppelin. Who was a more popular rock group during those decades?
And yeah, rock being the popular music died after Nirvana. There's good stuff still today, just not popular anymore.

>Elvis
>Not Bo Diddley or Chuck Berry

sure is reddit in here

Don't even get me started on Sinatra

the creation of this chart proves the 80s was a shit lost decade.

born in the 90s, fuck the 80s.

>>61987773

Well they are the two most influential on that poll.

And rock is a very very broad term.

>>61987548
Surprised nobody even brought up Ozzy before this poll honestly. In hindsight he might be the closest artist to an 80s Led Zeppelin in the sense that he almost had a "godly presence" and was sort of a legend. Not sure his music was the best of the 80s though

God damnit wtf is ACDC still doing on here.

>TNT, Dirty Deeds, Highway to Hell all pre 1980
>Bon Scott dead 1980, have one more good album: Back in Black 1980

80s should be U2, they invented arena rock and being a huge faggot political philanthropist and are still huge today. The 80s was shit and thats the best it offered.

>>61987176
read the first post ITT. if this was about influence then TVU wouldve taken over the beatles for the 60s

>>61987838

I'd say he was at his peak in the 70s with Black Sabbath

>>61987852
you're missing the point lad
pop is anything but an exclusive solitary genre
you can be pop-x with x being just about any genre with mainstream appeal

Michael Jackson has a large chunk of his discography that can be called pop-rock. To argue against him being the biggest act of the 80s is just asinine.

>>61987873
It's not just about influence but also mainstream staying power.
TVU barely have the second one, and Cream was more influential than they were anyway.

>>61987852
They have a lot of songs you could easily consider 60's pop music.
>>61987879
This desu.
>>61987916
Cream fucking rules.

Also, why is anyone even considering GnR for this?

>>61987912
He is the biggest act of the 80s, we established that at the beginning of the thread - but he's not a rock artist in the same way Kendrick isn't a funk artist just because TPAB was heavily funk-influenced. If you try arguing MJ was the greatest "rock" act of the 80s you're literally a retard.

he's an overrated hack who managed to market himself as a master of the avant-garde but really just produced bland pop music that should have been forgotten long ago.
Make no mistake, Bowie was not a good musician but a good marketer, he's not the heir to The Beatles but the heir to the marketing department of Anheuser-Busch. The musical equivalent of a mass produced tasteless fizzy lager marketed as a quality ale. Literally the epitome of faux-music masquerading as art.

Bowie was literally an overrated hack more known for his wild appearance than his (lack of) talent at composing or perfoming. He was a trendhopper who basically ripped off other shit that was going on around him and watered it down for a mainstream audience, his few good albums were collabs with more talented musicians like Eno and Mick Ronson

Motley Crue is the best "80s Rock" band. Waaaaay better than van halen.

I'd be hard pressed to call Sinatra a 40s singer, but he definitely can't edge out Elvis.
80s is Michael Jackson. 70s are tough. Elton John or Pink Floyd seem like the right answers for the 70s.

>>61989809
my critique to bowie is not that he's too popular, it's that he's a non-musician without an ounce of musical talent, stop projecting.

>>61989841
>stop projecting
>we both listen to popular music too
WTF is it that i am projecting.

Also bowie was of course not an amazing musician, still he knew how to play guitar, piano, sax etc. The thing is millions of people around the world know how to play instruments, that doesnt make them better than bowie at music. The important part of it all is composing the music, thats the hard part, and that is where he was outstanding

>>61989910
you're projecting disingenuous reasons for listening to music.
Bowie was not a great composer, compositionally his songs are nothing special and not even particularly interesting. They're bland, samey and indistinct from other pop music of the time. If blackstar had been released by another (non famous) artist nobody would have given it the slightest interest.

This. Zeppelin had a better run than Pink Floyd, little to no misteps whereas Floyd crumbled without Waters to hold their hands.

Zeppelin petered out creatively by the mid 70s.

>>61986732
For 80's? Nah, Prince or Bruce Springsteen would probably fill that criteria. Way more of a cultural touchstone than all three of those. Van Halen (and their best stuff is from the 70's) is pretty much a singles band who don't reach too far outside their comfort zone, AC/DC isn't just 80's, and Guns 'N Roses didn't do much except for Appetite and Illusion 1. If we're just talking about bands, Metallica had a better run than all three (Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice For All are bona fide classics).

>>61990151
That's an easy argument for any act or artist, but as in terms of objectivity, everything they did (except Presence) is a classic. Nirvana also petered out by the mid-90's (for different reasons, obviously) but they're still fondly remembered as the most important of their era.

How in the name of all that is holy was he a bad musician? You can hear his merit in tracks like Sweet Thing or Station to Station? And if not those tracks, then Life On Mars? That song is literally pop perfection.

>Life On Mars
A glacial song about as entertaining as watching paint dry.
Completely dull compared to literally any song from The Beatles from Rubber Soul onward. The same glacial rhythm continues throughout the entire song, little in the way of dynamics, the same chord progression and lyrics just repeat without any development. The accompaniment is amateurishly composed and sounds like a dollar store rip off of a Phil Spector orchestral accompaniment. Lyrics are random dogshite, trying to sound like a stream of consciousness writer but without any talent.
>>61990430

2000s and 2010s would be rappers

There are no true rockstars today. 2000s you could maaaaaaybe argue for foo fighters or coldplay or some shit but they're weren't as massive in the mainstream and well known by EVERYONE

>>61990617

Nickelback

>>61990733

Post Punk elitists are worse than mall fags.

80s was literally Glam rock/Hair metal, so Bon Jovi, Van Halen or GnR

>>61990733
actual list:
None.

80s are irrelevant because 80s music is objectively bad

>>61990710
I've listened to it, yes. It's exceedingly dull
>A Little Help From My Friends
Better than Life on Mars. It's a little comical I suppose, but it shows talent and original song writing. It's a great song, I suppose it's not a tour de force of late Bealtes song writing, but it shows the strength and talent of great pop writing that even their worst songs are still far better than most artists' best.

>>61990875
This is bullshit. You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

60's should be the Doors

>>61990733
Green Day and Blink were 90s. MCR and SoaD are just no. Queens of the Stone Age were probably the best of that list but not nearly big enough. Nickelback was the biggest of that list but not nearly good enough. Fall Out Boy has Pete Wentz. That leaves Foo Fighters, Coldplay, and Linkin Park.

>I've only listened to David Bowie songs i've heard on the radio: the post

David Bowie even before he died would have been one of the few artists to come close to being the favorite artist of this board. He did experimental albums very well yet he did pop albums just as well. He's edgy but not enough to label him cure level. And he just wrote a final album about dying that released 3 days before he died

save your edgy opinions for a year or two for when /mu/ is on something else.

I think Pink Floyd takes the 70's. From Dark Side of the Moon to The Wall, they pumped out nothing but critically acclaimed concept albums. Only downside is lack of single success beyond Another Brick in the Wall.

>>61996325
>my dad likes it
>therefore it's critically acclaimed

I wouldn't even waste one single tab of acid listening to that snore fest. How are they even rock again? Oh they have guitars. Gotcha.

White Stripes would also have a pretty good shot for the '00s, I think.

Joy Division is just the British version of Nirvana you twat.

>>61998292
I don't know what website you've been browsing, but Bowie's been as popular on /mu/ as any other older musician. Can, Swans, Talking Heads. I mean between Ziggy Stardust and Low... dude's been talked about like Bjork is on this board for a very, very long time.

Typically edgy folks need to get their knocks in when people are sad the dude died, I guess. He's getting the same treatment now that Radiohead will get a few decades from now. "He just took what was popular around him and watered it down." Only popular on /mu/ recently. Give me a break.
