Which decade has the better music? (listening to music, indie, rock, genre)

Dark Raven NTK · 08-07-2007, 10:48 PM

I would have to cast my vote to the 80's.
It has to be the largest grouping of bands I enjoy.

I agree.

The 80's definitely had a good share of good music.

The classic rock era comprises more than one decade. It's generally considered to be from about the mid-60s to the early-to-mid 80s, though there's nothing set in stone.

Judging by your choices, is it safe to say that the 60's was your favorite decade?

I can't believe the 80's are winning. What an absolute universe of ****ty music. Did any other decade have anything quite so bad as the pac man song?

I can't believe the 60's and 70's are trailing in last place.

The 80's weren't all bad, but the worst decade of the lot imo.

Crazy frog > Pac man.

yeah ya know that never really was big here. I've actually never heard the song once.

It's funny how I still stick by the 90s but for different reasons. My retarded overwhelming obsession with obscure emo, early rough math-rock, the formation of post-rock, good indie-folk. It's all so purty.

i'd much rather be listening to music now than any other time because i can still listen to older stuff anyway. plus the internet allows us to learn of more obscure bands that we wouldn't have heard of anyways. plus production these days gives bands a whole lot more utility
