The Beatles , Madonna, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift have All of the impressive streaming numbers

From the swing managed to end 60's punk, Acid House and Britpop, everyone has a favorite era in music.

But there is a single year, in The Rock -and pop-climax?

Maybe it came with The Beatles -mould-breaking sonic experiments of 1968, or the mid-80s purple patch, where Prince, Madonna and Michael Jackson pushed each other to ever greater heights.

If you ask Most People choose a defining year in music, you will be almost certainly the name of one of your teenage.

In adolescence, our brain is more active, we have to hear more Time to music, and we experience a lot of things for the First Time - All this makes the songs from this period, the stay memorable.

As an economist, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, he found that, when you were a teenager, as a hit song first was released, it remained popular in their own age group 10 Years later.

Radiohead's Creep, for example, is a favorite among 40-year-old men. For people in their 20s, do not reach it even in The Top 300. For millennials, Carly Rae Jepsen Call Me Maybe a similar resonance has.

But psychologists believe there is a deeper reason why we cling to these pieces of music.

"It is during these formative years, that we have many important life-changing decisions, initiate significant long-term relationships and create the cultural and political beliefs that shape our identity"

"The Music has an intrinsic ability to regulate emotions, [so that] these songs have of course embedded in our important memories, both positive and negative. "

All of this is fascinating - But it is yet to decide, empirically, the year produces The Best music. Fortunately, new research by Music Industry body the BPI to narrow down helps The Field .
