I'm surprised out of all the decades you like the 50s best. My mum likes the 50s best because she obviously grew up & was a teenager, in the 50s - but I often wonder how younger people (who grew up in the 60s, 70s, 80s), can prefer 50s songs.
One of my nephews who wasn't born until the mid 90s isn't a big music fan apart from one or two genres & he says he only really likes 50s music also.
I can understand people liking 50s songs as a start of the pop music explosion - but there was so much more richer sounds to come out after - that I don't know how people cannot enjoy that as much too.”

For people who grew up in the 70s and even early 80s, there was a lot of retro 50s style Rock and Roll in the charts, listening to that may have given some the desire to check out 50s originals. Also, in 1973 the film and double album That'll Be The Day introduced many to that music.
