What does the Gamespot community think is the best decade of music?

For me, it's all about the 00s! Nuff said. Just cause there's so much variety. Seems have a fair blend of all genres.

Some kickass artists:

  • Radiohead
  • Muse
  • The Strokes
  • Arctic Monkeys
  • Arcade Fire
  • The White Stripes
  • The Vines
  • Beach House
  • Animal Collective
  • The Black Keys
  • Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  • Gorillaz
  • Kanye West
  • The Roots
  • Cunninlynguists

00s > 60s > 70s > 80s > 90s

MODERN MUSIC FTW

Haha fair enough! It's just that I've never really gotten into any of those bands. For some reason I keep putting off listening to Nevermind. The only Nirvana song I've heard is.. well you know. :P

Am I the only one who doesn't actually give a flying fuc|( how old the music is?
I have more stuff from the 00's than any other genre, doesn't mean I prefer it over any other decade. Just happens that most unknown artists from the 00's caught my attention through the internet than any other decade did.

For my preferred genre, the late 1980's and 2000's have been the most important eras.

Just wondering,but what's your opinion on the melodic hard-core scene and bands like Descendents or Screeching Weasel?

The 60's and 70's are both the great eras. Most modern stuff just sucks.

You do realize that we don't have the luxury of filtering out the bad music in this era as compared to the 60s and 70s.

The 00s/current era. Anyone who says a previous one is extremely misinformed and or close minded.

I have got to go with:

The 70's.AC/DC

The 60's.Led Zeppelin

The 50's.Buddy Holly

The 80's.Ozzy Osbourne

The 90's.Sucked,with only a few good albums

The 00's.Sucked more,with very few good albums

The 10's.Sucked the most in sucking history

That's my opinion,and I'm sticking with it.

Extreme metal. It first evolved in the 1980's, and is now facing another revolution due to massive amount of bands playing around with new ideas.

Oh, my bad, didn't notice that one. Yeah I know a few of them formed before 2000. Thing is, they're still very much active today and have arguably put out their best work in the past decade. For example, Muse released their debut in the 90s but they're hardly known for "Showbiz", which is probably their least popular album.

I figured that's what you meant.

Most radio stations that specialize in 70s/80s music can pick the music that stood the test of time rather than the Top 40 stations that have to play anything that's topping the Billboards, good or bad. That said, every era is going to have its share of awful music along with the classics.

The Baroque because of Bach alone. Otherwise the romantic period.

None are better really for me. I like stuff from the 70's, 80's, 90's, and now. It's just different types and genres and within those sounds have changed, but I like what I like and dislike others equally. I have favorite songs, but I honestly can't pick a decade or era once you pass the 60's.

Rhythym was perfected in the '60s, and Lyrics were perfected in the '70s, so I say '70s. The '80s had good Michael Jackson, that was a plus, and the '90s had good pop music, but the '00 killed everything due to people not liking bands or singers for more than a few months. Plus the music is just terrible.
