I omitted bands I didn't like in the 70's which was quite a few.

1980's: Much Better:

I personally preferred music in the '70s. Artists seemed more inclined to explore their own limits rather than adhere to the prefabricated format that seemed acceptable to the masses in the '80s.

Maybe it's me, or maybe it was the JW influence, but I found much of the '80's music sounded the same. Loud guitars, and screeching whiny vocals. I can't stand men with screechy, whiny voices.

I never cared for the likes of the Beatles, Led Zepplin, or the Rolling Stones either. My tastes were more along the lines of Yes, King Crimson, Mike Oldfield, Pink Floyd, and a few Styx songs, mostly their early work.

edited to add: I hated the Yes vocals, but the instrumental work made up for it. My favourite Yes song was "The Gates of Delerium" from the Relayer album.
