When was the best decade for music? Sitting here listening to big 500 hits of the 60's to 80's, there's some absolute classics!

Not sure when Schubert was writing the music for all the huge number of songs but sometime in mid 19th century.

Well, I was being slightly facetious because I also rather like Mahler and Richard Strauss and they are early 20th century composers. Schubert and Schumann are my favourites though.
Pop music? I lost interest in the 50s when I was at school and now it's mere nostalgia although Tom Lehrer and Stan Freberg still appeal.
btw I'll be 70 in January but I've been indifferent to pop/rock music for a very long time.

Its a toss up between the 70's and 80's for me. Some people say i was born 10 years to late with my taste in music.

Personally, I couldn't choose a particular decade.
Each one since the 60's holds something special to me...

OK try this for sheer excitement. It's not really kosher because it was written for piano but this orchestration is electric.

Very good, can apprieciate the power and the passion and that woman can sing! Liked the intro and the climax but it just does't do it for me, maybe it's an age thing, I'll listen to it again and maybe it'll grow on me. you never know!
cheers.

Quite simply everything from the 60s onwards has had some right gems, it would be impossible for me to pick one decade as the best.
However, if I could only keep one decades music, it would probably be the 80s because of Master of Puppets.

Now is the best time for music.
Because you have the preceding centuries to choose from!

Funk & Jazz - 60s
Hip Hop/DJs - 70s
House/Techno/Madchester Movement - 80s
House/ Techno/Drum n Bass - 90s
Ambient/Experimental/Jazz - 00s
Music's Technology is becoming so accessible these days, what was very diffcult to do years ago can now be done in seconds. This can only be a good thing for creativity. The technology is becoming so advanced, I wouldn't be suprised if telepathy replaced digital radio in 20 years time.

There needs to be a cap on new music as there's too much of the stuff
Every decade has it's moments... I think 2000-09 is the worst for popular music, but that doesn't mean that stuff off the radar wasn't brilliant.... I'm just not part of the in crowd
Love Bob Seger, Sonic Youth, Slayer, Misfits, Crass, Raspberries, Beatles, The Who, The Sonics, Marmalade, Neil Young, MBV, Public Enemy et al on any given day... I think that cover 60-2010

Tried the Gregorian chant, and well same result as skyd0g, it didn't really rock me! I just don't think it benefits from the "epicness" of the Gregorian choir.
That's not to say that I don't think heavy rock and orchestras/choirs mix well, but for me the songs have to be rather more full on than stairway. For example

There is only good music or bad, my late father (who was a pro jazz musician) taught me that. It doesn't matter which decade/century it came from as long as it represents the best of the genre then its worth listening to. My collection has rock,jazz,punk,classical,country,pop,funk,indie, in fact any style of music.
Norfolk, who nicked all the hills?

Aye - Late 70's early 80's when I was getting into music.
I'd ask for The Specials, Madness, The Clash & The Housemartins and can take or leave The Smiths
I've got everything from Classical to Florence & the Machine on my mp3 so this and the preceeding milennium do it for me.
anything Ska'y will do it for me from whenever it was made
To open a side issue The Stones rocked, the Beatles were pants (give or take one odd decent song)
