What was the best decade for music?

Submitted by DarthKnight on January 27, 2025
To make it simpler I'm only counting the 50s to now.

So, what was the best decade for music (in your opinion)?

Also, what decade were you born (I want to know this so I can compare that to your favorite decade in music).

Theyre all so great, The 80's had a lot of rubbish but also some absolute greats. So probably the 80's, ask me in a week and ill have changed my mind though.

My playlist is mostly 2010's pop, interspersed with 2000's and 2020's pop, but I do love a good 80s or 90s banger.

I think I'll have to go with 90s though

All meme musics, with the majority in 90's or 2000's.

I'm going to throw a spanner into the works and suggest that the 1970s, at least for me, were the best era.

There was so much change from the beginning of the decade to the end. Early music of '70 and '71 was very much influenced by the '60s. Whereas we then went through Glam Rock with the likes of Slade and Sweet, but from about '77 onwards the emergence of Punk Rock with the Sex Pistols still has influence today. There was also the rise of Disco with films like Saturday Night Fever.

Although, every decade has great music and terrible music, it is all a matter of personal choice and preference.

I was born in 1962 by the way.

Varies from person to person and language to language. When it comes to Hindi music, I consider 2000s the best. However in English, I find myself listening to mostly 2010s, 2020s and 2000s mainstream music so uh idk.
