Too hard to answer. Every decade there has had some kind of influence on me musically (except the 80's of course, the 80's was trash). The music I'm most into lately has been released in the last 15 years, but I wouldn't be into it if it wasn't for bands like Soundgarden, Tool and Smashing Pumpkins in the 90s. Similarly, I wouldn't be into those bands of it wasn't for Led Zepellin, Black Sabbath, Rush and Deep Purple from 60s and 70s.

The 80s had two good albums; Appetite for Destruction and Whitesnake's self titled album, it also had prominent use of the keytar which is simply hilarious.
