Do you have a favorite decade in music and if so, why?

My vote goes for the 60's: CCR, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Cream, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, The Temptations, The Hollies and The Stooges are just a few reasons why.

Nope. They are all pretty spectacular.

Except shitty country music from both then and now.

if i had to choose, i'd say the '70s ... lot of great bands from the '60s put out a lot of great music in the '70s ... lot of great bands started in the '70s ...

'70s ...

I'm an '80's kid, but think it's the '70's. The era that basically made classic rock. Even with disco garbage.

This is quite true but the 70's also disgraced the music world with Disco. Therefore they are relegated to 3rd place on my list behind the 60's and the 40's (luv me some big band swing).

This!
As a teenager in the '60s rock (and soul) really
was a blast to experience... Guess you had to be
living in those days to appreciate it.

I agree, I like the 70's but bands like the goddamned bee gees makes me like it a whole lot less.

Actually one of my favorite bands in the 60's. Then in the 70's they all got castrated or something.

1963-1972 or so. That's the decade I grew up in, but it was also the period where rock broke away from strictly teen romance music to something that often approached thought-provoking art.

1965 to 1975. Because that is when music peaked (and by pure coincidence it's when I grew up).

60s and 70s was greatest music generation ever. They have stations just to play this stuff, the music was timeless and STILL used in movies and commercially. There will never be another generation like it.

The 80's definitely. And of course I mean the 1880's, but all of you pop fans probably don't know anything about it because you're too obsessed with Phish and Talyor Swift to check out some music that might not be from your century.

No doubt, but I'm sure all of these Philistines have never heard of this cause it wasn't on the Mtv or the FM radio.

Probably the 90s, because that was a glorious decade of music and when I really started going to tons of live shows...

80s were great too, but other than the odd concert, for the most part, I didn't get to see a lot of live music...

80s because of HS and college years, but I recognize how spectacular the 70s were.

1884 was probably the greatest year for pop music.

Oh My Darling, Clementine
Rock-a-bye Baby
Strolling Through the Park One Day

That year alone influenced the creators of Bugs Bunny, which had a direct influence on my musical upbringing.
