None of the above. I like 1920s jazz and French chanson and bal-musette from the first half of the twentieth century.
Oy.
Thanks for giving me flashbacks. They even taught us the Hustle when I was in grade school!
There's something after the 70s?
Everyone knows rock achieved perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact.
Oy.
This reminds me of when my 5th grade teacher forced us to learn the macarena in class. Some kids were actually crying from embarassment. Anyone who refused would be sent to the principal's office (at least that was the threat). Yeah, she was kinda psycho.
The '80s were my teen years, but I have to give the '70s the edge.
Sticky Fingers through Some Girls, Live at Leeds and Who's Next, Steely Dan, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, the Clash, the Ramones, Television, Talking Heads, Blondie, Never Mind the Bollocks, Ziggy Stardust through "Heroes", Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Roxy Music, Curtis Mayfield, Earth Wind & Fire, Lola and Muswell Hillbillies, Something/Anything, Harvest through Rust Never Sleeps, Al Green, There's A Riot Goin' On, Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, Van Morrison, Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac and Rumours, Willie Nelson, Carole King, Big Star, Shoes, Blood on the Tracks, the Staple Singers, Tom Waits, The Cars and Candy-O, Outlandos d'Amour and Regatta de Blanc, Blue Oyster Cult, Tom T. Hall, Dolly Parton, Tom Petty... a wider variety of higher quality stuff than the '60s or '80s, I think.

I grew up listening to 80s and 90s music and i love them both. But in the end my vote went to the 1980s. The 1990s started off great but as someone mentioned earlier in this thread, after the mid 90s, the music scene went downhill for me. The 1980s were pretty musically consistent for me.

my music teacher also tried to teach us the macarena. those of us who refused didn't get in trouble though. i also remember she played stuff like Ace of Base for us too.
Oy.

We had to learn line dancing and square dance... in high school... in California... in the early 90s. We'd all turn off our Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, or Pearl Jam CDs and then dance to Billy Ray Cyrus and Brooks & Dunn. It was fun, but it was just kind of odd.
I had a music course in middle school, and we had to learn to play Edvard Grieg's Morning Mood on a plastic flute.
So I kinda envy you.

weird. they taught us square dancing when i was in 4th grade...but since i live in the south i didn't think it was too odd...just kinda lame.
as John Lennon said: which music you like depends on whom you kissed in the cinema at 17
Having been born into the Flower Power age, the 60s are my music. I also love music from the 20s, though, but that wasn't a poll option.

80's for me.
But I never kissed anyone anywhere when I was 17.
I am a fan of the 1920's jazz age music .
so am I 
But 20s was no poll option.

Ive recently come to see how good we had it in the 90s, with a good mix of rock and electronic music, where alternative became mainstream. There was a brief spurt from about 2000-2003 where there was also a good mix of music in my opinion. However, the 80s are still my favorite overall period. Pop music in the early 80s was experimental as well as fun. You could dig deeper and find a lot of underground stuff, and "college radio" was unique and awesome.
