Music by Decade

What has been your favorite song or artist from each decade you've been alive?

My favorite artists growing up in the 80s and 90 were Tiffany, Cyndi Lauper, and Madonna. Today, my favorite is Billy Joel. My favorite song from him is probably Vienna. It evokes a bit of nostalgia in me, the kind of saudade feeling of missing what never was.

I mainly enjoy acoustic music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. I have more of a varied preference with 2000s music. Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne were the first two artists I listened to heavily once I got out of school. I also enjoy mid-tempo 2000s music.

I haven't given myself the opportunity to explore music from the 2010s and 2020s beyond Taylor Swift.

Favorite song of the 80s: Vienna & Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Favorite song of the 90s: ?

I'm really weird and pretty much listen to almost anything. So I've given my favourite bands/artists rather than songs. I've slowly gone from liking songs because they are catchy or sound good to really listening to lyrics.

90s: Vengaboys, Aqua, Spicegirls, Steps
2000s: O-Zone, Busted, McFly, Avril Lavigne
2010s: Cascada, Basshunter, Rihanna, P!nk, Sia, Taylor Swift, Adele
2020s: Ed Sheeran

I have always listened to a lot of hip hop, jazz, classical and slow songs for contemporary because I am always dancing to those styles and I always have music on.

When I was younger, I listened to a range of music but as I got into my teens, I started listening to more heavy rock music...and only that.
Now I listen to more of a range again but my favourite is still heavy rock music and is what makes up the majority of my playlist.
