Poll: Which years had the best music?

[sephiroth1991]

Any song in perticular, which era had the best music?

 

[Tartarga]

The 60's. I think everyone knows why. The 70's also had some pretty good stuff though, like Billy Withers.

 

[Proarcher]

The 80's really saw the birth of true pop and techno so yeah defiantly the 80's for me.

 

[Agema]

Usually, the best decade for music is the decade you spent most of your life between 16 and 25.

 

[Casual Shinji]

The 19th century.

It had Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

 

[Red Right Hand]

60s definitely. Teenage years of rock and when all the really influential stuff came out. Namely looking at Beatles, Sabbath and jefferson airplane to name a few.

90s, 90s, 90s! Simply because music was at its most diverse and interesting. Sure, there was plenty of dross, but in every decade there was. You seperate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, and you'll get the most diverse, interesting, and brilliant music.

Things have certainly become less interesting and more safe since, a lot of experimental and expanding movements seem to have settled in their niches and it's all a little bit boring.

The 70s, because we'd never have gotten "East Bound and Down" - the greatest Jerry Reed song from the greatest movie ever, "Smokey and the Bandit" - if not for that decade.

I voted other...simply because there is some great music in each of those decades.
Go back and discover it young people!

EDIT: double post, sorry! I blame the internet.

The 19th century.

It had Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

Har har har.

You have officially upgraded yourself from "Ridiculous "Gone Gonzo""-type to "Pompous n00b"

Hey man, don't shoot the messenger.

Okay then, the 18th century had Bach.

80's for the metal. \m/ (>.<) \m/

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

The 90s had some pretty awesome stuff, IMO.

 

[Spinozaad]

I suppose the 90's. It has pretty much all my favourite bands. Through my parents, I grew up with Dylan, Morrison and the Beatles, but grunge, stoner metal/desert rock and triphop are three of the four pillars on which my musical taste ultimately rests. Singer-songwriter being the fourth.

 

[GRoXERs]

The 60's and the 90's. The sixties for... well, rock, pretty much; the nineties for techno (Juno Reactor!), grunge, and nineties pop music was for the most part really good. (Pearl Jam, RHCP, Dave Matthews Band, Radiohead, etc. etc. Generation X had really good taste.)

 

[NIHILHATE]

The Sixties had some serious fucking classics that are, and always will be untouchable, but for me it was the Nineties. Doom metal, Goth metal, Alt. metal, Nu metal (don't judge me), Groove metal, Death metal, INDUSTRIAL METAL, Dance/Rave/Trance (dunno what it's called but it's awesome), some Rock, some Punk, even some godawful cheesy Pop was awesome. The Nineties perfected music, and where every decade had some awesome stuff, music will never be like the Nineties again.
