Which decade had the best music?

[Mano]

I have my own opinions on this, thought I would get some of yours.

Most people are going to vote for the decade they grew up in. That's just natural. So, the '90s will probably win this poll.

However, I think the late '50s and early '60s would be the most exciting to hear for the first time. Rock 'n' roll was new and nobody could tell what direction it was going in. The bands of that time were exploring a new world. Today, bands are often forced to repaint the same canvas.

It's the 60s and it's not close.

Late 60's early 70's had the best music by far. Beatles, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Allman's, Pink Floyd, the list goes on and on. I dont see how anyone can think that the 90's had the best music. The only revolutionary artist in the 90's was Kurt Cobain, almost all of the other 90's/2000's music is overly comercialized and uninventive. Hell most artists these days dont even write their own music. I didnt even grow up in this generation (i was born in the early 80's) and I find 60's/70's stuff much more musically appealing.

There are many more revolutionary artists in the 90s than Cobain, but overall the '65-'75 era blows away the 90s.

My thoughts exactly. Nirvana, the Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Radiohead, Rage... regardless of how much you like these bands, there's no comparing them to Zeppelin and Floyd.

I agree with this completely. I was born in 1966, and was too young for all the good stuff of the late 60's and early 70's. The 80's covered most of my childhood/young adulthood, and unfotunately had crappy music, with of course exceptions such as U2.

I'm a hip-hop fan, so from that perspective, it's easily the 90s.
