They all got some highs and lows but all my personal favorite bands were mostly active in 2000-2010.

Depends. As a whole I'd say 80s, but I love listening to modern day metal (which is the genre I prefer)

Gonna go with 90's would have almost gone for 80's. The meaning of the songs coming out lately are really retarted. Especially AVICII, Taio Cruz and the likes.

Top 5 in this order..

  • 60's
  • 80's
  • 1930 and below
  • 90's (Horrible music could make this really the worst but there was some awesome punk/hardcore music that redeems the decade)
  • 70's (Having Disco as part of your era really hurts you but there was still some good carry over from the 60's to get it here)

From about 1960 to 1974 was the best in my opinion. There was good and great music made after 1974, but those were the golden years.

@lunacyde: hit me with some songs then, and they need to outweigh the majority of bad ones that are pop at the moment

All decades have their good music and bad music. That's why I'm not voting in the poll. I dont see any one being better than the others. It usually just comes down to what decade you grew up in. Nostalgia is too big a factor.

Objectively speaking, the poll is hardly fair. "1930 and below" includes almost all of music history, including:

  • Beethoven
  • Mozart
  • Bach
  • Tchaikovsky
  • Strauss
  • Chopin
  • Wagner
  • Rachmaninoff
  • Stravinsky
  • Verdi
  • Vivaldi
  • Brahms
  • Liszt

The reason I said "1930 and below" is because I didn't feel like listing every single era since the creation of music.

Sure, I understand... just saying that it might have been better to just exclude everything below that for practical reasons. You cant compare thousands of years of music to individual decades.

Also, it's hard to objectively determine which decade had "better" music. Might have been best to have the poll on "favorite" decades of music, rather than "better".

Besides this being a totally matter of opinion, 60s by far was the best.

90s to early 2000's

This for me. Hip-hop particularly was at its pinnacle in the 90s. And mainstream pop in the early 2000s was still tolerable.

I think the 60s and 70s really started to see a transformation with Rock in the mix. Though I like 90s Rock the best.

Hell yeah Iron Maiden.

It's hard for me though, a lot of my favorite bands were from the 80s, but I do like a lot of 90s and modern stuff (2000+)

Slightly....it's mostly based of of the fact the fact that the 60s was an explosion of what fueled everything afterwards.

Damn, a favorite modern metal band? That's tough... I'll go with Mors Principium Est. Their album this year, "...And Death Said Live", blew me away.

@lunacyde: my initial comment was directed towards the "pop" of that decade, I am well aware that prodigious musical talents are overflowing more than ever but the ones that hog all the pop attention are just blatant horribad.

40-70's would probably be the best era for love music IMO.

80-90's-Rock, Boy bands

Early 2000's are also good other than that I don't really get much of the music right now. There's a lot of weird artist/singers and I just find them too freaky. lol

The future, whether that's hearing an old song you never heard before or a new one that just came out. Nothing quite like hearing a great song for the first time :)

OK, you got me there.

A few good bands break through into good pop these days. Personally I like Of Monsters and Men, Mumford and Sons, Philip Phillips, etc.

Most of the stuff I love is pretty obscure though.

I completely retract what I previously said.

The 70's take this in an absolute stomp.
