In the late '70s I started to search for the perfect sound - whatever that might be, before that I was mainly interested in drugs, insanity and the rock'n'roll lifestyle.

When I listen to music from different eras, I sense different things. The 1940s music, there's so much optimism and romance, maybe because they just solved the biggest problem on Earth at that time - World War II. In the 1960s, there was so much creativity and innovation in sound.

The Seventies were just an interesting time for us because we were building the brand of the name but also varying the style of the music on each of the albums we did. Very creative time of us.

I thought the '60s was the most exciting time and the most vital music, and we were really together as one mind then. Then afterwards, the songs and the bad drugs, that took its toll.

The '60s were a time of great change in American music.

I was born in the 1980s, so learning about the late 1960s was really fascinating, not only just because of the way things looked and sounded but because of what was going on in society at that time.

I think the '70s was a much healthier period for music because people were more innovative and creative.

England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said; it was phenomenally exciting, musically.

Music was such an important part of everyone's life in the '60s and '70s, but everywhere you played, the music was dreadful.

I think It's a bit of a disappointment that a lot of people's Golden Age of music is still the '60s.
