Which decade had the best music?

ROTTEN POLL.

You need a "decade-ism is kinda stupid" option.

Depends on the Genre of music.

For Pure Rock and Roll: late 1960's- mid 1970's.
Rap: Mid 1980's, mid 1990's and mid 2000's.
Country: 1950's-early 60's and early 90's.
Metal: Mid 1970's to late 1980's.
Alternative Rock: early 1990's and mid 2000's.
Pop: Early-mid 1980's and early 2000's.
Soul: late 1950's to late 1970's.
Jazz: 1920's and early 1930's.
Classical: Mid 1750's.
Techno: Late 90's-early 2000s.

Overall: the 1980's had the best mix of the genres.

Can't forget about Dinosaur Jr, The Replacements, and such in the 80s.

The 1940's, I'm a sucker for swing.

by **The Parkus Empire** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 9:37 pm

Most decades have an interesting genre, but I wouldn't say one was "best" overall.

Some notables are blues, swing, big band, rock 'n' roll (particularly that which emphasized bass) and motown.

90s-2003

by **Sirain** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 5:08 pm

I voted 90s and 00s

by **Mushet** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 5:11 pm

I'd say 70s, Heavy Metal and classic rock were king
80s was good too with Metallica and such
I like the mainstream rap from the 90s too, but rap I can never get into like metal when I'm really in the mood for it

by **Conoga** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 5:15 pm

50's + 60's + Early 70's + 80's.

If I had to choose one, 60's.

They did, but the 20's had....the swauve cool sound. Plus there was the fedora, and mafia.

60's to 70's for rock, 90's for hip-hop.

If I had to pick a decade I would pick 1968-1978, so there isn't a poll option for that. Though I suspect it is pretty much always the decade that covers your early teens until your early twenties for most people.

60s-2000s.

by **Toiletdonia** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 1:36 pm

Late 70's, Early 90's and some stuff in the 00's.

There probably good stuff in the rest as well.

by **Alevuss** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:28 pm

1960s, 2000s, maybe 2010s, and some of the 1990s. that's where the good music is. Of course, though, there are some good songs in the 1970s and 1980s, but I know of no songs from the 1950s.

I seem to have a thing for years ending in seven. The best points for me were 1967 (Are You Experienced, Aretha Franklin, Sgt Pepper's, The Doors, the first Pink Floyd singles, Small Faces, Velvet Underground & Nico, the Who), 1977 (Punk and post-punk explode thanks to the Clash, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Television and Wire, Bowie and Iggy in Berlin, Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder lay the foundations for modern electronic music) and 1987 (Pixies, the Smiths and REM build the foundations for indie rock, Sign 'O' the Times, Sonic Youth perfect their sound, Appetite for Destruction, XTC and Spacemen 3 make psychedelic cool again, the Joshua Tree, and old school rap peaks with Eric B. & Rakim).

90s and 00s metal/hard rock

by **Extreme Ironing** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 5:47 am

I like the 1440-50s myself - the emergence of the independent bass voice and the first great flowering of the Cyclic Mass make for some great stuff emerging from England. One only has to hear the Missa Caput or one of Walter Frye's masses to see the influence they had on subsequent music as well as their own high merits.

the 90's are my all time favorite, I'm a sucker for the Seattle grunge bands. Although the early 00's weren't all too bad either.

Damn you have good taste in music, and by that I mean very similar to mine.

'90s-Best rap ever
'60s-Can't deny the golden age of the British Invasion and Classic Rock.

The 90's did have the best rap ever. I wonder what would rap would be like today if Tupac wasn't shot.

by **Orlkjestad** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 7:57 pm

80s and early 90s by a country mile.

by **Hedzgerald** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 5:18 am

The 90s had grunge, so that is an obvious vote for me.
