Season 3.9 - From 60s Vibrance to 90s Eclecticism: Which musical decade was best?

Only Slightly Drunk

Unleash the nostalgic power of music with us here at OSD Towers, as friends of the show John Bishop and Patch join Robbo, Johnny, Logan and Scott for a bumper edition of the best podcast recorded in our house that day.
We turn back the hands of time to debate which decade of music was the greatest, as each of our guests take their turn presenting their case why their chosen era is best.
From the vibrant 60s, through to the eclectic 90s. Revel in fascinating tales as we delve into the influence of these decades on music, the explosion of new sounds, and the longevity of bands such as The Rolling Stones.
Patch kicks things off and makes an argument for the 60's being where all modern music started, and for everything that we listen to now not existing if it wasn't for then.
We traverse the freewheeling 70's with Robbo as he talks passionately about how that decade expanded and improved on what came before, and then crash into the radical 80s where we hit a crossover of styles and the advent of technology that John states saw music reach a zenith.
Throughout, the gang's vivid recollections of icons like Stevie Wonder and Jimi Hendrix, a handy tip for remembering lyrics, and even the adrenaline rush of a first holiday sans parents all manage to make an appearance.
And then it's time to hit the 90s, with Johnny's take on Britpop bands like Oasis, their music, global reach and the intense competition of the time means that his chosen decade reached heights that no other one has ever reached.
So tune in for a mix of nostalgia, music appreciation, hearty laughter, and a healthy dose of camaraderie.
OSD - it's like a podcast...only better.
