Sorry for tagging y'all in this thread, but I'd like to get your opinions on this subject at hand.,
What's the earliest decade for music you listen to?
This thread specifically deals with when the music you like was first recorded, even if it was remastered, it's still the same song, just in higher quality. This is why I didn't include songs from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras, because although those songs were written in the 17th-19th Centuries, the recorded versions we listen to today were recorded in the 20th or 21st Centuries, and are higher sound quality than songs released in, say, the 1920s-1940s.
I love many of Vivaldi's, Bach's, Mozart's, and Beethoven's masterpieces from the 18th and 19th Centuries, but I'm not going to say the earliest decade for music I listen to is the 1710s, because the recorded versions of those songs I listen to today were recorded in modern times, with modern audio quality.
For me, if I were pressed to say, the earliest decade for music I would listen to would be the '50s, specifically the latter part of that decade, 1956-1959.
1956 in general would be the primary starting point regarding music I would listen to, as that was the year when rock, rockabilly, and doo-wop really started taking off in popularity, and the music industry was becoming more youth-oriented, faster pace, less uniform, and higher quality than in years prior, and they've stood the test of time far better than music in years prior. I would refer to 1956-1963 as the "Malt Shop Era" for the music industry, a term coined from this infomercial down below;
That being said, I also do enjoy the soundtrack of the film O Brother Where Art Thou from 2000, which is inspired by southern music from the 1920s and 1930s, but every song from that film, minus "Big Rock Candy Mountain" and "Angel Band", were recorded alongside the film, and those two songs are merely outliers.
So what about you, what's the earliest decade for your musical tastes?

1920s are interesting especially when you get to the middle of the decade when electric recording became standard. Many snappy jazz tunes came out during the 1925-1930 period, along with early country and blues records. Which I understand Is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea.
