What is your favourite decade for music?
I was just wondering if you had to pick a favourite decade for music what would it be?
Now you may have a favourite period that goes over two different decades e.g. 75-85, but if you had to pick one decade from which you could listen to music to only, what would it be?
We're halfway through this decade (2010s) so although its clearly not finished yet I'm going to include it anyway since 5 years is still a significant amount of time and it can be judged now.
If I can ask, I'm hoping the mods don't move this into the music forum, the reason why I say this is because I specifically want to ask people in the general discussion only, those who frequent the music section are likely into current music more and therefore are likely to be younger (not everyone of course plenty of older people in there) but the poll is likely to be skewed towards more recent decades regardless.
How does this decade (2010s) compare to music from previous decades anyway so far? Particularly its pop music?

Ditto
1980s is the clear winner.
In those days people had to be able to actually play their instruments and singers able to actually sing.
None of this backtracking or autotune nonsense.
Technology has a lot to answer for in that respect.
This covers a lot, Deep Purple through to NWOBHM
The 60's !!!!!!!!;-)
Totally agree with all the above. I was 14 at the start of the sixties and was 24 at the end so the sixties holds wonderful memories for me and most of them linked in some way to the great music of the times. I was lucky enough to see the Beatles live when they came to our town for a week and can still remember the overwhelming feeling of excitement watching them, although I don't think we could actually hear a thing!
That sums it up perfectly - the greatest decade for music.
1955 -1957
1966 - 1969
1975- 1978
1982- 1984
1989-1992
1996- 1999
2002- 2005
stick that in the poll if you can
