I love the 50's/60's some of my fav groups Frankie Valli and the four seasons Marvin Gaye Elvis some other songs I love Brown eyed girl oh pretty woman walking on sunshine Sweet Caroline Boogie shoes, country music from 2000 up.
Honestly I like most music from so many genres. I enjoyed today's music as well things from Pitbull Shakira Beyoncé Elvis Crespo etc
One of the oldest songs I like is called sing sing sing (with a swing) by benny Goodman

So it leads me to also love musical movies like moulin rouge or burlesque with Christina Aguilera
I can't be tied to one type of music. I love the past as much as the current music of today.

Really hard to say, as all decades had great but also terrible music. I'm not huge on the 70s. 60s maybe a bit more. I really like a lot of the stuff from the 80s. The 90s had great alternative rock music, but also a lot of complete trash. The 2000s are my least favorite decade in terms of mainstream music, but there were many many gems in underground music. 2010s had a lot of music that means a lot to me, so I guess I'll pick the 2010s.
Worst time in music to me was late 90s and early 2000s. Just awful.

70s. No question

Moose304 · Answer

I was watching American Graffiti over the weekend and thought about the soundtrack. I'm an Eisenhower baby so I don't really remember the 50s, but I do remember the 60s forward. I think almost everybody can look back to their teens and smile thinking about a hit song. Here are three from my 16th year!

Киттйлинк · Answer

I really cannot say which had the best in my opinion because.

All the decade had good music.
All the decades had catchy tunes.
All the decades had annoying music.
All the decades had bad music.

I like a lot of music from every decade
I dislike a lot of music from every decade

BCRanger10 · Answer

It depends on the genre, but as far as lyrical content and themes go, it's been garbage for decades. However, if we're talking skill, creativity, production, and musicianship, I'd say rock from the mid-late 1970s through the early-mid 1990s (minus glam-hair metal).

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I think most decades have high spots and low spots, there is a lot of reinvention going on. Previous genre will provide influence to the next.

i can’t really pick one as I like a wide variation of music from Goth, Rock to House, dance and Indie

BCA6010 · Answer

Some 80s going through about 2012. Most music before that time does nothing for me, most music after that time is just either earlier artists beating a dead horse or copycats mimicking older bands. Every now and then a few rock singles slip through that I like, but that's about it.

Some exceptions to earlier music are old time jazz, classical orchestra, and some of the 1930s-50s lounge music, which are all situationally good to listen to.

PJH359 · Answer

If you asked for just one I’d say the 70’s
Two, I’d say 70’s and 90’s
Three, my answer is 60’s, 70’s and 90’s
Finally FOUR would include all of above plus the 80’s. I know we make fun of the fashion during that time, but the music was really cool. Sometimes overshadowed

Wester1967 · Answer

1970s

MagicMan28 · Answer

All the people saying 90s is hillarious :D

80s, then 70s. Pretty much everything else is garbage. There were a few decent bands otherwise but not much comes to mind.

Today the only good stuff is deep house / chill, but it doesn't compare to 70s-80s rock and pop at all.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

I almost asked this question a couple weeks ago when me and another user were going back and forth sharing songs/music videos from the 80's on a post.
For me, I think the 60's -80's had the best music..

AviatorTom · Answer

The 1960s, with the Beatles, British Invasion, and several movie themes, are the decade with the best music, followed closely by the 1950s (beginning of rock and roll, plus love ballads) and the 1970s.

DarkWinterNights · Answer

80’s, some of the 90’s and the 2000’s. Since the 2010’s most of the popular music I find just bland and boring. Even rock and metal which I used to really enjoy just sounds so generic. It’s rare when I find a good album.

Jaysonava · Answer

For pop music definitely the  1920s  1980s and  1970s. The worst is the  1990s  in terms of what music actually got popular.   And honestly, the  1950s  was often pretty silly and dumbed down.

ManOnFire · Answer

70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. There are the occasional good few songs that pop up but most of it isn't very good these days.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

The `60's, especially the psych era and the very late `70's to mid `80's: the new wave era. Don't even IMAGINE that I like disco!! I doubt there's more than 3 "disco" records that I like.

zagor · Answer

60s-80s.
