Which Decade Had The Best Music?

[Astracarn]

The 70s and 90s were both excellent.

[Azrael]

I'm thinking either the 60s or 70s.

The 80s!

The decade of Duran Duran, Genesis, Tears For Fears, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Eurythmics

Genesis were best in the 70s.

[Immoren]

Everyone of them has had gems.

[Modioperandi]

60's and 70's. It's a trip through sound.

[Castouria]

Question is way too broad.
Needs to be broken down according to genre.
As a listener to hip hop, definitely the 90s

[Meryuma]

70s, 90s, maybe 2000s.

3 Doors Down

Really?

That kind of shit is no better than Ke$ha and it's not even fundamentally different from her ilk.

[Bodobol]

80's, early 90's for metal.

'Tallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Overkill, Maiden, Kreator, Sodom, etc., all releasing awesome albums (Agent Orange, AJFA, Rust in Peace, Reign in Blood, Years of Decay...)

Of course, you could also argue for the 2000's-2010's, as now we have easy access to most music, and there's a revival in metal popping up (Evile, Gama Bomb, Amon Amarth, etc.)

[North Wiedna]

My bad. :(

No problem. Just remember, The Wall is goddamn amazing.

no it's fucking horrid. full of filler and mediocre overblown music along with a complex and confusing story that's hard to understand without the movie. Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals are pretty much flawless. Meddle is really good and proves that a side long epic doesn't have to be boring, and I still enjoy a few spins of Obscured by Clouds and The Final Cut and The Division Bell. The Wall is pretty much shit, though.

[United Horizon]

70's and early 80's

[Faolinn]

The Nineties. Yes it may be responsible for some unpleasant current trends ultimately, but it was the time when alternative music was finally getting in the limelight too and people still had great respect for the classic artists that came before that time. This was also another time where we truly saw an explosion of new styles. I can't say much about the present decade as we are only three years into it. It's not looking good though.

[Hatsunia]

I say this decade.
We got Hatsune Miku and tons of other hardcore electronic musics. :3

And it's only going to get better.

[Sweetroll]

1776 Mhm, yes sir.

[Monlyth]

I've only listened to a handful of songs from the eighties, and even less from the seventies. Point being I don't feel I haven't listen to enough music of the generations before mine, hence, cannot defend my opinion with "sauce."

Personally, I've found more music from our present time that I like, than any other decade beforehand.

[L Ron Cupboard]

I quite like the 1720s.

[Soviet Post Punk]

No problem. Just remember, The Wall is goddamn amazing.

in the flesh is one of the best floyd songs.

empty spaces/young lust is very well put together.

i used to like hey you but it's a bit cringey now (guitar tone for the solo is still amazing).

the trial is hilarious.

thus ends the list of the interesting parts of the wall.

Of course, you could also argue for the 2000's-2010's, as now we have easy access to most music, and there's a revival in metal popping up (Evile, Gama Bomb, Amon Amarth, etc.)

there has never really been a period since its inception where metal stopped being produced.

slayer and metallica are still making albums, even.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

I say this decade.
We got Hatsune Miku and tons of other hardcore electronic musics. :3

And it's only going to get better.

:D Indeed! I'm glad to see a concurring opinion.

[Slembana]

The 1990's. By a country mile.

[Thurask]

The 1980s.

[Forsher]

The music that I like overwhelmingly comes from the 60's to the 80's but that's not to say that there aren't songs that I like from other decades (there just aren't ver many). It's also not to say that I like all the songs made from 1960-1980. For example, not a fan of Queen For The Night or Soldier Boy... both from the 60's.

empty spaces used to be a song called "What Shall We Do Now" and it was way better but they cut it

[Cosumar]

I don't really listen to pre-70s music, so here is my subjective ranking of the decades based on the genres I like.

1. 90s
2. 00s and 10s
3. 80s
4. 70s

Each decade has its gems and shouldn't be defined just by the mainstream music at the time.

[Ko-oren]

For me, it's the 00's. Lots of great post-rock coming out. 10's still have to convince me though.

[Anollasia]

Late 60's, 70's', 80's, and early 90's.

[Haydenish People]

All of them and none of them.

[Torisakia]

1960s-1990s

Until the "scene kid" music came in....*shudders*
