Poll: Best Decade for Music

[WDWHound]

I'm a 80's guy myself, but the only decade that produced a lot of music I didn;t like was the Nineties. Note: I added the 00's for form, but I recognize there has not really been enough time to judge.

That's hard. I like music from all decades, though not much from this one so far. The 50's had perfect pop and lots of rockers, 60's had so much groundbreaking stuff, the 70's did great hard rock, the 80's had excellent pop and underground, the 90's had good indie and I loved Britpop...

I guess I would have to go with 80's though, overall.

I have a very hard time deciding between 70's & 80's, as I grew up during both and have alot of emotional attachment to music from both decades. But I crinkled and picked the 70's for the poll.

 

[jgmklmhem]

Big Beatles fan so i picked the 60's but would also go witht he 70's as well

Unquestionably the 60's. There is no debate. However, good music officially ended along about 1978.

Sorry, have to disagree, lots of good stuff post-1978.

You seem to have forgotten about disco. It was around before 78
Actully, good music officially ended in 1990, but it seems to be trying to come back lately (lol).

 

[chesirekate]

Well, if we must put a year on when good music officially died, I'm going with 1997. Everything since then has pretty much sucked, except for a couple Black Rebel Motorcycle Club songs.

I said along about...

Save for someone like Maroon 5, I've not heard anything all that groundbreaking or unique lately

Except for Springsteen the 80's were awful, the 90's were horrendous.

Okay, Springsteen. For the life of me I can't name anyone else that rises to the level of the quality of the 60's and early 70's

 

[ladycollector]

Wow, I'm in the minority here I guess. I voted for the 90's I loved the music.

 

[bubie2.5]

The 60's!!!

 

[CRB#33]

The 70s. Before Disco.

Gosh I'm dating myself today

I said 'good stuff' not 'better than the Beatles and Dylan in their heyday'. You're not going to find much that's better than the 60's stuff, but there was plenty of music that was still excellent and at least in the same league post-1978, if not quite as inventive or groundbreaking. I would hate to just write off an entire decade or two or three because there were no new Beatle's albums. I'm curious why you draw the line at 1978 though. Was there a release that year that you enjoyed or is it arbitrary?

The 70's

I grew up listening to 80's music. I still love it today! Since I've moved to Florida, I discovered they even have an 80's radio station! WOO HOO!

 

[VALDAN]

60's - The Who, Zeppelin, Beatles, The Stones

 

[sorcerormickey]

THE 80's!!!!!! Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, U2, INXS......doesn't get any better than that!

 

[amyup]

I picked the 60's! I love the Beatles and adore the Stones. I have been to a few Rolling Stones concerts in the past few years and I don't care if they could be my parents or even Grandparents they rock!!

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Others may think , but I LOVE Disco.

I also love music from the 60s and into the 70s as well.

Cannot stand the 80s and the 90s really didn't do much for me.

So I'll listen to oldies stations with the above likable decades or toe Christian Music. I just cannot do that Top40/Contemporary stuff anymore.
