I go with the 60's

[Pixel]

This would depend on the era that you grew up in, or the music you grew up with.

I love my 90's music. At least up to 98-99, boy bands killed it.

Edit: But the Beatles might make the 60's better.

[Overlord]

I think anyone could make a case for any of the decades except for 00's. This decade has been total shite compared to the others. Personally, I'd say the 70's. That's when music reached its zenith, and it's been an accelerating decline ever since.

[Mogwai_]

I love the 80s for some reason :)

[peat moss]

I go with the 60's

With just a lil 70's thrown in . :)

[Glitterstep]

00!!

[McBride]

00's

[killuminati96]

I'll have to pick the 90's. My absolute favorite artists are from then & I grew up in it.

[Funkin']

I can't pick just one. I grew up in the last 80's-90's. So I love all that early 90's metal(Pantera, Slayer, Alice in Chains, etc) an grunge(Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc). So that era will always hold a place for me. But then there was all that kick ass music that came out of the 60's and 70's. Especially all that funk.

So it's pretty much a throw between the 60's, 70's, and 90's for me.

[Zah89]

80's FTW

[cahcet]

I go with the 80's

[The_Martinator]

It's between 60s and the 70s for me. Lots of great (rock) music from that time.

[alupizor]

well, if we're talking rock music, i'd say the 70s. if we speak in general, deffinitely the 90s.
everything after 2000 don't sound good to me :)

[Leandrof]

60's!

[Villalltheway]

90's for me hands down, some many different styles of music were great then. Decade when rap and hiphop was awesome, not like this solja boy crap u get now. Also great rock music such as nirvana radiohead etc. Pop music was also great, and u cant beat a bit of old school 90's dance music.

[iNaru]

every decade has its own unique and special music that can't be found in a different one

[copacabana]

I go with 70s and 80s. Those years have an unbounded treasure of musicality.

[xel04]

60/70's

[technodrome]

I go with 90's :) There is so much quality albums and singles before 90's but 90's have more than those years :)

[Dirt]

Can't decide about the best decade, but the 00's are for sure the worst. :blink:

[dasde]

i go 80 for metal

[Demons]

Can´t decide between 80´s and 90´s.

[VinX]

current decade is best ... LP FTW !!!

[Sprall]

60's and 70's

[bergstein]

80's is my fav

[n00bz0r]

a bit of 70s 80s and 00s :)

[The Flying Cow]

Definitely the 90's for hip-hop.

[brento]

60's by far! Psychedelic ftw!

[chiquiloco]

the 00

[Amber]

must be 00's

[akirabou]

fo me it's 80's for sure

[brento]

Definitly the late 60's and early 70's when rock music was at it's pinnacle. So many amazing bands during that time period.
Rock in the 90's was also pretty unique and innovative.

[LubTheStaringCat]

1980s for me

[Hologram]

70's no doubt.

[SonsOfLiberty]

Yeah I like the old school rap, this new stuff ain't shit, Eminem is good and so is 50, but in musical terms, the 70's was by and away the best. You can make a case for the 50's though.

[sawsa]

late 80's to early 90's.

[tantra69]

00s (and late 60s early 70s)

[shevi]

IMO 00's was terrible for music I'd have to go for 90's

[swizZ8]

1970's when Tony Iommi detuned his guitar from E to C#, from then things just keep getting better..

[Vega62000]

90's with dance music

[reaganrev]

70's EASY. Zeppelin, Floyd, Rush, Van Halen, Aerosmith, The Who, The Eagles, Journey, AC/DC, Bob Seager, and on and on adnausium. I do like some of the 60's stuff too like Jimi Hendrix, and one 80's guy of note is Stevie Ray Vaughan (? spelling ?).

[lisabritpop]

90-mid's britpop !!!!!!

[AddOn]

80's are the best

[wasaby]

90's my favourite

[kooltilldend]

90's was great...80's dance music was pretty cool too

[thedesx]

90´s i think!

[brotherdoobie]

All of them, mostly.


-doobs

[Totti]

Everything except up until Britney spears came out excluding the boy bands that where popular back in the early 90's:sick:

[bigboab]

50's. It had the best variation. Watching music change from big band/orchestra to rock and paving the way for the great 60's & 70's

[BiTrAtE]

Don't Speak - No Doubt

[inkswich]

80's is my fav

[samwheat]

50's - because all the blues, gospel, jazz and country roots mixed and created rock & roll, and a new kind of popular music altogether .

[GeorgeJung]

between 80´s and 90´s.

[killour]

90`s my fav. remember that those days all that was important for me was music...needs to be a reason for that

[michel]

the 80's and 90's for me :D

[smyrna]

[_Surfer_]

60's and 70's

[gevorg]

[susiserken]

[getsuga]

90

[Uplifting]

90 ofcourse

[jackwho]

80`s for sure.

[darc]

60's, but I would say that right now some of the best music I've ever heard is being made outside of the mainstream.

[inflik]

60's for country, 70's for rock n roll, 80's for weird hippie music =)

[2slick4u]

personally my favorite is 70's and 80's i love music period

[Ikki]

90's for me..

[tdealer]

60's.........The Beatles.

[999969999]

I was born in the 90s, so most of the songs out there were recorded before I was even born. I listen to a lot of songs from the 90s and the 00s, but I like some songs from every decade. I just recently discovered a classic rock radio station in my area and the cool thing about it is that the songs are all new to me. So, I'm discovering all these cool songs from bands that were once very popular, but I've never even heard of them until now. It's great.

[rabie1981]

90'

[bigdaddydude]

I was born in 1986, that was a good year for 80s Hair Metal. Man, I wish the music today would be like it was back then.

[iLOVENZB]

70 with deep Purple , Black Sabbath , Led Zeppelin und Pink Floyd and many others
