Which decade do you think had the best music?

I like the 80's the best.

80's definitely.

2010s

Definitely the 80's.

well Led Zeppelin was in the 70s so....

The 80's was where music (and most of American culture) went to die.  Look at all the great 70's bands that imploded in the 80's - Devo, XTC, Talking Heads, Gang of Four... none of them made it past 85 before nosediving.   80's music was in a right state before Pixies and Fugazi came along and saved it. 
 
I'll admit though, most of my favorite and dear to me albums came out in the 2000s.  ATDI's Relationship of Command, Neu by Polysics, and Progress by Rx Bandits...  Still, 70's takes the prize for being so far ahead of their time.

Any decade is good if it had video game music.

A large majority of my favorite music comes from the 00s, second most being from the 90s. Never liked the Beatles, never liked the Stones, not a fan of Zeppelin, haters fondle my nuts. Thank you.

1810's. Schubert, Beethoven, Paganini and so many other great musicians were alive at the time.

I have much respect for 80's music and everything that came before it, and while I enjoy some of it I prefer newer things

Probably the 80s.

Bullshit. "

While the 60's provided the most evolution, most of the biggest [and what I consider the greatest] bands sprung up shortly after it's wake in the early-mid 70's; Rush, Black Sabbath, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson [yes, yes, 1969 I know...], Yes, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, Led Zepplin etc.

I vote 80s

I like something from all of the decades listed...but some genres that I'm really into didn't exist - or fully mature - until just recently, so I'm going to have to go with 1990's or 2000's.

90's, easily.

Either the 70s or 90s for me.

60's Beatles loads of other stuff.

The 1960's
 
Bob Dylan, The Band, The Doors, Cream, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, and the list goes on

The 80's gave birth to The Smiths, who are the best band ever. SO therefore, using maths and many kinds of science, I have deduced that the 80's is the  best decade for music.

80s

ROCK THE '80S!!!

Wow, the 80's is in the lead. Gross.

00's.
 
Coheed & Cambria, some of Dream Theaters best stuff, The Gorillaz, The Killers, Muse, Modest Mouse, Bloc Party, Queens of the Stone Age, The Mars Volta; what's not to like?
 
It was actually a really hard choice, though, between 70's, 90's, and now.

I voted 80's 
 
sure there was a shit load of crappy wanna be MJ pop and way too many hair bands, but god damn. what a great decade for music.  
 
Come on guys, THRILLER was released in the 80's. 

80s and 90s

80's, just for the memories. Not such great music but it has sentimental value for me so it wins.

The 80's birthed hip hop, rock and roll reaching its peaked, electro's emergence, pop music revolutionized by MJ.  And Run DMC collab with aerosmith.  that was epic.

" I like the 80's the best. "

00's

Now, because all the music from the other decades is still around.

i really like the early/mid 90s that's when lots of my favorite bands were starting out like smashing pumpkins, operation ivy, sublime  and the prodigy   
the 70s and 80s also had amazing stuff like joy division, rush, Bauhaus and Tangerine Dream and many others 
and the last 9 years has had a lot going on in all the electronic genres like trance and drum and bass have evolved so much in the like ten years 
its hard to choice a fave decade when my musical taste is always evolving

Hm. Coin toss on 80s or 00s though the different between them two and 90s is a photo finish. Before that, I couldn't give a fuck.

Wow I'm surprised so many people are voting the 80's. I assume that's because it's when a lot of you were born, must be too young to really remember the 80's. ;-)  
 
    
    
 
I voted 70's but was leaning to the 60's. Too much good rock & roll.

As a fan of electronic I'd have to go with 90's. Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, The Prodigy, The Crystal Method, all their best stuff was made in the 90's. Also, rap was obviously the best in the 90's.

80's Nowadays it's nothing but horrible emo bands and shitty rap, but rap means shitty so shitty rap makes no since
