Which decade has the better music? (indie, metal, rock, beatles)

I'll have to pick the 70's, music came of age during this decade.

Why the hell is the 80s winning?

Let's see there's new wave & post punk , the first real wave of indie labels , the birth of hip/hop , metal really took off properly in the 80s as did electronic music.

The only reason I can think of for the 80s sucking was because the charts were full of novelty crap , cheesy rock ballads & has beens from the 60s & 70s desperate to re-live past glories & failing miserably.

Post punk hopefully.

If this was a national poll, I'd put my mortgage on the 80's winning due to the latter reasons of your quoted post.

On reflection i'd say the 80s was probably the best AND worst decade.

God Bless the 80's!

Personally i think the 60s were better for music breaking through. like the british invasion and psychedelic rock, but the 70s was the decade with the best music. the who, led zeppelin, deep purple and other 60s bands were on top. dont forget also songwriting geniouses like billy joel, jackson browne, and john denver. Best decade by far

Ditto that, son. You wouldn't believe the number of times I've had to endure people thinking that John Lennon or Paul McCartney were better. Idiots.

60s for me. 60s had the type of music I like, 70s had more famous music though. 80s were not good, 90s maybe a tiny bit better, and I don't know about now.
