Punk began in the '60s, and should so be moved.

The 70s gave us The Brothers Johnson and the best funk song ever, "Get The Funk Out Ma Face."

I suppose a lot of 60's garage rock is punk...

I'd vote for the bi-decade 1965 to 1985.

1977 is my favorite year, by far.

Clearly the 80s. 1780s that is.

Having recently been introduced to "Nursery Crymes" by Genesis, I have to emphatically say the 70s!! Most brilliant album I've heard!

Agreed. These pissing matches over who can google up the (arguably) first band in a certain genre is lame.

I still say 70s thanks to Genesis and Popul Vuh.

Popul Vuh is probably the greatest band ever in the history of the Earth.
