    its hard for me to pick

    overall im gonna have to go wit the 2000's off top

    hip hop was very diverse,especially if you knew where to look

    rock had good elements of metal and rap

    even pop got mixed in wit hip hop and sme pretty good hybrid combos were able to come out of it

    60's and 70's


    the music was that much more rich and purposeful

    70's... For all genres. Music as a whole had a greater "spirit"

    The 70s is in the lead? Wow. can't believe it. In my eyes it's the 60s even though I didn't grew up in that decade. The 70s were too ? . All about disco. The 80s were too ego-centric. IMO the 60s were and is the best decade for pure soul/R&B music.

    80s, only cuz I like the production so much. New Jack Swing and Quiet Storm specifically.

    definately the 90's. that's when i felt music was the most balanced. thats when so many different genres had a bubbling scene. electronic music was getting underway with dnb/jungle. big beat with fatboy slim and basement jaxx. trance was also prominent then. then u had rnb which was as diverse as any other musical genre with hip hop soul, contemporary r&b, neo soul, and quiet storm. then rock divided into so many different subcultures with grunge and shoegaze in the early 90's. then sludge metal, groove metal, and nu-metal started to gain ground later. not to mention alternative had a nice run. and the pop punk revival with acts like the offspring, green day, and no doubt. and dont get me started on hip hop. so yea collectively, i would say the 90's was my favorite

    same thing i was about to say. every genre was pretty well represented in the 90's whereas other decades were only famous for certain ones.

    but the 70's would be a close second for me.

    i voted for the 70s just because i really feel like soul/r&b really was in it's prime at that time. it came into it's own at that point. it started off in the 60s with the motown music and what not but it got more fierce production-wise in the 70s. i'm going to say the 90's comes in a close second place.

    this. sometimes when i listen to music from that era i can't help but think that this generation lost something
