Vote for your favorite decade for music

 

[NCC-1701-B]

80s music is probably my favourite, OMD, Ultravox and the like. But I have music from all of those eras on my PC so It's not quite so black and white

 

[Lord Garth]

2010s music, actually. I'm serious. But since that's not an option, I'll go with the '80s.

I can listen to the '80s or Today anytime. I have to be in the mood for '60s/'70s or '90s/'00s music. Otherwise, no.

 

[trekkiebaggio]

50s had Elvis in his prime so that wins.

 

[Count Zero]

It's the Sixties for me, especially the second half.

I did not include the 2010s as the decade is not over yet. Unfair to judge the music of an entire decade when there is still 7 more years left.

 

[Lord Garth]

No problem. I figured maybe that might be why.

 

[Holdfast]

80s, no doubt.

 

[Shazam!]

80s easily. 90s had a decent start but tailed off.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

The 70s usually catches a lot of flack because of disco at the end of the decade, but there was some pretty amazing rock and R&B music throughout, so it gets my vote.

 

[C.E. Evans]

For me, it was definitely the 80s (or at least most of it). The New Romantic movement, Brit-funk, Rap--quite a lot of new sounds came to the forefront during that time, IMO.

 

[Kelthaz]

For me it's easily the 60's.

 

[kolibri]

90's. Childhood nostalgia.

 

[MacLeod]

I'm somwhat eclectoc with my tastes in music. All decades have some great somgs, some good songs, some ok songs, some not so good songs, some bad songs and some dire songs.

 

[Galileo7]

80s, no doubt.

Agree.

 

[Captain Ice]

It's a tough call for me between the 1970's and 1980's as I like them about equally.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Why not the current decade?

That's what I'd vote for.

 

[Kemaiku]

90's as it seems to make up the larger part of my music collection.

 

[gturner]

I downloaded some of the "top hits of the xx's" collections a few years ago and then deleted all the songs that I didn't like. By far the biggest collection after all my pruning was the 80's. Of course an element of that for the 90's and 2000's was that I can't stand much rap (so "funky name #1 feat. funky name #2" is an almost certain delete), and rap came to make up more and more of the top hits in the later years.

ETA: I also like music from the 30's and 40's, but the prize of my collection is the Ethel Merman Disco Album, which I inflict on friends as possibly the worst music ever recorded.

Edited to add a sample song.

Play it and see how fast you jab knitting needles in your ears. I'm betting 40 seconds or less.

90s for me, although I do like some 70s / 80s stuff too. Big ABBA fan.
