Love the 60's, 70's & 80's. Apart from bits & pieces, the 90's & 00's didn't produce much to get my juices flowing.
If I was forced to choose one decade, I would have to say the 70's.......
Glam
Rock
Pub rock
Punk
Ska
New wave
So many great bands.

70s before my time but is the King era I reckon.
80s feels the worst by a long way - like something went wrong with mainstream pop music. A creative artist like David Bowie was a household name in the 70s, even more leftfield stuff like Frank Zappa was popular, had a big audience. They would have been underground figures if they'd come up in the 80s.
When an album like The Stone Roses gets to #19 in the charts - a hands-down, no argument classic that anyone with ears really likes listening to, it points to some major structural problems with how the music industry was working.
It was also the decade where people thought heavy metal was good. The concerts and the T-shirts were pretty good in fairness, but no one listens to that lightweight nonsense anymore.
Even the actual 80s sound isn't good - you listen to major artists who's career spanned the 70s/80s/90s and it's usually the 80s stuff that sounds dated AF. e.g. Leonard Cohen never wrote a bad song in his life but his 80s albums are plagued with over-production, big-sounding horn sections etc.

….70s & 60s close thread. Downhill since.

2020s, because there's more of it than ever and it's largely available at the touch of a few buttons. I'm discovering more music these days than I ever did in my teens because of this.
Most of my favourite music was made in the late '80's-mid '90s though, coincidentally the era I was 10-20.

Music by electronic/solo artists is crazy these days, especially with how much music is available from African and South American music these days, plus the amount of labels finding and bringing out 'lost music'

not every day a communist anarchist band gets the 10th highest single of the year.
also, could the teletubbies song be made in the 60's and 70's? i very much doubt it.
