For me, it's The Monkees

ABBA, Moody Blues, Rod Stewart (thought technically he was still producing 'in my time' too), David Bowie, Neil Diamond. Basically all of the 70's.

The Bangles, Roxette, Rod Stewart.

Elvis. He died before I was born, and his good period was at least a decade before even that, but damn that boy could sing.

The Beatles and Pink Floyd are my tops. (I mean okay, Pink Floyd was still recording albums when I was in my teens - I remember my first boyfriend being disappointed by The Division Bell and later I heard it and went "wait WHAT?" But they've been around much longer than I have.)

Just in general though, I prefer music that was around before I was born. Not in a "there's no good music anymore!" sort of way because there are some modern artists I love. But the 60s/70s vibes are my fave and I can listen to those radio stations all day.

Edit: Also going to throw in the Doors and old Motown/soul in general.

Billy Joel, I guess?

Janis Joplin. I was 3 when she died, so she wasn't exactly before my time, but I didn't start listening to her for another ten years.

The Dave Brubeck-style 'cool jazz' (post WWII), swing, big band, folk-type music that was popular on the radio in the 30's, like Woody Guthrie.

It's so weird to see the previous comments to this question all being the music I grew up with...(except for early Elvis).

Oooh, good choice there. I almost added something about 30s-ish big band/swing being my favorite musical style after 60s/70s. It's kind of hard to find good sources for it beyond the handful of artists everyone's heard of though - what I've got was mostly passed on to me by a friend who was happy to just randomly send me MP3s of stuff but never really commented on who else I might like.

It is hard to find stuff sometimes out of a very narrow window. If you google 'depression era folk music', at the top of the page (at least for me), is a big list of YouTube vids that are a variety of artists - Guthrie and Leadbelly, but also Black Ivory King, The Carolina Tar Heels, Eddie Cantor.... It's mostly a case of research and search, heh.

This is also an interesting article that might give you some ideas.

Oh yeah, that definitely looks helpful. And yeah, I guess in this day and age I could just browse around YouTube. (Maybe I'd even find some of the WWII-era songs that I heard when I was younger but never learned the name/artist of. I managed to identify one when the aforementioned friend sent me an MP3 of it, hahah.)

Thanks for the tips! Watch me wind up burning another mix CD to listen to at top volume in the car which will make my neighbors go "wtf?" ;)

Heeeeeeeee!!
I do a lot of poking around on YouTube at 1am at work; everyone asleep, nothing for me to do but basically 'be there', in case, and man the phone....

Springsteen (technically not from before my time, but I mostly like 70s Springsteen, which is)

I grew up on classic rock so Metallica and Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd.

Rush. It'll always and forever be Rush.

I also been giving Pink Floyd a chance over the past few years. They scared me when I was a kid (it was Welcome To The Machine and the cover of The Division Bell that did it) and I refused to listen to them. I was a silly kid.

Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Queen

The Beatles. They were around when I was little, but I think experiencing Beatlemania as a teen would have been fun.

Also, The Doors.

Abba, The Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Journey, Queen, Boston, Beach Boys, Kansas, Foreigner, honestly so many. ABBA probably slightly edges out as top, but it is really hard to pick just one.

Wishbone Ash

LOVE Wishbone Ash.

Queen, Dire Straits, The Carpenters, ABBA.

Classic rock from the 70s and 80s, swing, jazz, some of the crooners especially Nat King Cole, 60s music especially The Kinks.

But not The Beatles weirdly.

Credence Clearwater Revival
