The Beatles were the band of the decade for the 1960s

Led Zeppelin was the band of the decade for the 1970s

I’ve never been able to figure out who the band of the decade for the 1980s 1990s or 2000s was though.

I would probably say U2 was the band of the 80s.

I agree. I hate to say it, but Michael Jackson was the “band” of the ‘80s. Otherwise, it would probably be U2 for the ‘80s or ‘90s. I forget when their big albums were released.

Rock seems to be fading as a genre, being buried under a mountain of rap and vocalists. The 2000’s seem to be the vocalist decade. Maybe “Green Day” would be the rock act of the decade.

Bay City Rollers fit in there somewhere.
