I'm a little surprised at the amount of 90's love. I would've expected a more "classic" taste. Still, the 90's have some great music. 70's, 60's, 80, 90, 10, 50, 00. I've heard more 70's albums than any decade, so it's number 1.

1960s all the way: so many innovations and great music, both with mass appeal and without. Just a look at the sales charts of the time should be enough to convince you, bearing in mind that's just the tip of the iceberg of what's so unique about that decade. No nostalgia involved, I was born in the 1970s.

I thought I preferred the 90s, but when I made my decade charts, it appeared pretty clearly to me that my favorite decade is the 70s. At least, that's the decade I've heard the most music from. I think.

00s for sure, with 90s in second, 70s and 10s about tied, and 60s all on its lonesome. The sixties really sucked in my opinion. I mean, even if they were formative years for western popular music, I find them harder to connect with, though a lot of the stuff I really love like Exuma or Just Another Diamond Day came out in 1970, so they were close to being good...but not quite.

But yeah, for some reason I just like more music from the 00s than any other decade. The 10s are great so far too.

Edit: Lol, forgot the 80s, they're cool, don't know where to place them. XD

I don't have a preference, but in terms of sheer quantity and widespread availability of good music I'd have to say this decade. I've heard like 250-300 albums this year that I at least enjoyed to some degree, and over 100 which I keep going back to because they're so good. Nothing on my 2013 chart is less than a 75/100 for me at the moment, and every album I remove to make way for new stuff pains me a little. Last year I heard around 100 albums that I really enjoyed, and six or seven that could quite easily be on my overall chart. Obviously much of this has to do with my own motivation over the last 18 months to check out as much new music as possible, but even I didn't think there would be so much great stuff released. That said, there are plenty of albums I adore in every decade from the 1950s onwards, so I really couldn't say. The 1990s were a great time for alt. rock, hip-hop, R'n'B and electronic music, so that decade holds a massive appeal for me. Similarly, the 1970s saw a boom in punk and post-punk and reggae and disco and a more complex variety of soul than had been being produced earlier. Then in the '80s a lot of these great ideas were expanded on, and we saw the house and techno boom, not to mention plenty of great college rock and some fantastic pop music. The 1960s can't be discarded either, given how big a hand it had in shaping the western pop music that came afterwards and how many of that decade's records were staples of my early musical education and remain staples of my listening life to this day. And this is before we get to jazz or German music or neoclassical stuff or country music or lots of other genres that have seen various peaks at various times throughout the last hundred or so years. So yeah, at the moment I'm going with the 2010s, but there is no right answer. Every decade has been responsible for its share of music I couldn't live without.

Damn, I can't really decide on this one. The 60s had The Beatles and Bob Dylan (and a bunch of other awesome pop stuff!), The 70s had prog rock and hard rock really becoming something awesome, the 80s has Metallica and Iron Maiden, my two favourite metal bands, while the 90s...er...oh, yes, Radiohead, and Swedish melodeath! And the 00s also had Radiohead (and Swedish melodeath!), and this current decade got some sweet stuff too (including Swedish melodeath!) So what the hell do I choose?

I will abstain, actually.

A few months ago I probably would have said 60's or 70's but right now it's 00's.

This is a tough question for me to answer. Judging by my top 100 overall chart, the 2000s would seem the right choice. However, i feel like the 70s were the best decade for artistic gems of all-time, as well as the decade where a bunch of performers were putting out great works year-after-year. However (again), i have huge sentimentality for the 80s and i believe the 80s pumped out some of the catchiest pop of all-time.

I'm betting that 40 years from now hindsight will choose the 2020s.

Certainly was from the commercial standpoint, but you must mean quality. On that, you would know much better than I.
