What is your favourite Jarre decade. This can include albums, singles, soundtracks, concerts, the man himself, publicity, etc etc

[Antigoon]

Hmmm..

That would be from 1985 till 1995 to be hounest, so no vote from me on this one I'm affraid...

[Big time]

Definitely the 80´s!!!

Concerts in China, Zoolook & Rendez Vous!!!

3 legendary albums in a row!!!

[Finaero]

80s, but I think he still went on pretty strong up to 1995.

[Jakob BC]

Well that's a hard question

In the 70's higlights were Oxygene and Equinoxe. In the 80's he did some different music. Magnetic Fields, Music For Supermarkets, Zoolook, Rendez-Vous and Revolutions are so different, the JMJ signature is still printed in it though. In the 90's my favourite album Oxygene 7-13 was done and it counts alot even though the style is traced to 70's and 80's.
Normally I prefer music from the 80's but I think there was a little too much orchestral in JMJs 80's music.

I can't decide. It's like chosing what familymember you like best.

I think 70's !

[Nico_Noyau]

I voted for 90's because he did all his concerts in the 90's, and Chronologie and Oxy7-13 were made in 90's too so

[Big time]

So he didn´t do any concerts in the 80´s????

So Houston was just one hell of a big imaginary concert???

Well, whan I said "he did all his concert in 90's", I was not right, in fact I wanted to mean "he did most of his concerts in 90's"
That's right because he made the Oxygène Tour and the Chronologie Tour

[Big time]

I know what you meant!

[Jon]

I choose the 70s as this is the decade I was first introduced to Jarre with his 'Oxygene' and 'Equinoxe' albums. Also, his pre-Oxygene material from the very early 70s. . . . And it was ALL analogue

[Jakob BC]

I choose the 80's, my favourite tracks are still among the other decades. I just think he did more in the 80's.

[Kanta]

That’s a tough one because there are two decades that are my favourite. 70’s for "Oxygene" and "Equinoxe" albums, 90’s for "Oxygene 7-13" album, concerts - "Paris La Defense", "Oxygen in Moscow"and "12 DOTS".

Ok the 90’s gets my vote because the list is a bit longer

[jarrekid]

1980s: CiC, Magnetic Fields, Zoolook. Classic albums. I'd really go for 1976-1986 if I could.

[Jarp2600]

Aaaaaaargh, I can't select more than one option!!!
Wanna say '70 to '00. And the new Aerotracks, but I don't know what this decennium will bring us.
