The Worst Musical Decade?

[Syd]

Had to go with the 70's. I was between 70's and 50's. But most of my favourite bands come from the 60's, 90's and 2000's. A few from the 80's. Almost none from the 70's. The 50's had a lot of talent, not really my tipe of music (like jazz and stuff), so I went for the 70's.

In some ways for me it was the 80's, after 1983, but it was because a lot of good music went underground and left all the rubbish music to get air play, if you know what I mean.

90s. Definitely.

2000's without a doubt, not saying ALL music sucks last decade. But the popular music of the 20th century has staying power and is timeless to me. The popular music now all sounds the same, and is put out into media like it was on an assembly line. The lyrics are mindless, the beats are recycled, and the artists are controlled. I'm sure many of you can argue those things being in other decades, but like I said before, music just doesn't have the same imprint on the mind and soul as decades before.

I voted for the 80's. So much of that decades music has a cold, antiseptic sound to it. I think if Prince had recorded "1999" and "Purple Rain" with a real band instead of machines it would be a lot more listenable today. His talent and artistry is certainly evident, but the sound of the music leaves me cold. I know a lot of people who hated the early 90's grunge era, but at least it brought back real bands playing real instruments.

50s for me although it might have undiscovered gems. The rest all have music I love. 2000s as well.

I could have sworn I voted in this one but apparently I didn't...

Whenever "Rap" music was created would get my vote, but am not sure if that is 90's or late 80's...

Apparently rap has some roots in 70s, but the popularity was very high in 90s.

 

[Sweaty]

I am sure it started in the 80's

I like lot more bands in the 80's than the 90's....but many of my hard rock/metal European bands are from the 90's as well.

I'll have to mull this over before I cast my vote.
