What is the best decade for music?

The best decade is always going to be the decade you grew up in. Mine was between the 80's and 90's because this when I was growing up. Many songs of this era are important to me because they were my companions during my awkward years. I'm sure some out there know what I'm talking about.

First of all, the 90´s decade, as 80´s, had a huge diversity of musical proposals, thus all genres were exposed widely with many artists & bands; we too saw the rise and dawn of them as well. But to answer your question, which depends of the genre you liked (or still like) most, here they are:\n\nGrunge - Alternative\nNirvana - Smells like teen spirit\n\nRock - Power Ballad\nAerosmith - I don´t wanna miss a thing\n\nAnd many, many more, but believe it or not, these two maked it big nation and worldwide, so, considering that point and according to a lot of sources, they have to be called the winners.

My favorite decade is the 1970's or the 1940's. I wasn't alive or anything, but they seem like fun era's. ;)

It's not really fair to judge this decade's music just yet.  I thought the music of the 80s sucked during the 80s but now I mostly listen to 80s music on the radio.  \n\nIn 10-15 years, we'll probably appreciate this decade's music more than we do now.

`Time After Time` by Cyndi Lauper is the best.

I think it is in the early 80's but I think it goes mostly on impact or the sound. OK all music is disputable in catigorizing it. There is betweens.

I really enjoy jamming to 80's tunes and remixes. If you are into remixes my favorites are Funkymix, Ultimix, and X-Mix compilation cds (you must be a professional DJ to purchase them). As far as the 80's go I just loved all the music that came outta the whole decade.

Grunge.  Nirvana.  It was as defining as the British Invasion of the sixties.

Ya know, as a child of the 70's, I really thought the 1980's were a dry spell, creatively speaking.\nSure, there were some pretty good one-hit wonders, but overall, there were no 'Beatles' or 'Rolling Stones' coming out of that era.\nNo...not until I heard the opening guitar line to "Where the Streets Have No Name" that I took notice to something that others had already picked up on.\nAnd then it hit me: POW! \nU2's "The Joshua Tree" WAS (to me) the Sgt. Pepper of the 1980's...the pinnacle of musical excellence for that decade.\nI still listen to that album and it still sends shivers down my spine.\nIt rocks, it rolls and it has messages that still are relevant today.

Oh my god. I totally agree with you. I am 20 years old and the only thing I listen to is classic rock. I am a huge Styx fan and they came out in the 70's.  The first three preset stations on my car radio are all stations that play 70's and 80's.  I listen to very little out now.  The music out now is pretty much all about the bass and how loud you can make it and pretty much question and answer and rap are the most popular.  Sex is talked about a lot, and music from the seventies and eighties was just simpler and easy to listen to and you can do other things and just forget you have it on. Anyway, I totally agree with you that the music from the 70's and 80's is better than the music out now. I agree with everyone who said that it was because the music now is just so mindless that it has no meaning and twenty years from now, no one is gonna know what the hell it means, whereas the music from the sixties thru to the late nineties with the invasion of the boy bands and modern music is good.  But overall the music from the sixties to the early nineties is the best by far.

AWESOME! Rock is a powerful force in the past causing parents, politcians and naysayers to go nuts! Especailly in the 1980's. The '70s, not so much controversy, but still one of the better eras full of Black Sabbath, Zepplin, Judas Priest, Dio. The '80s had tons of awesome acts like GNR and Def Leppard. I still love some of the strange lyrics and songs of the '90s much of which is Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains with a bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's sad to me that rock music isn't pissing enough people off and some of it is just terrible. Sure bands like Velvet Revolver, Audioslave and Red Hot Chili Peppers are great, but we need some new blood in rock! Hopefully more bands like Avenged Sevenfold will come out soon.
