Roxette almost it for the 80's, but I'd have to say that 2000+ has produced the best music for my taste.
70's, 80's & 90's are good.
I'm gonna say 90's, because that's when most of my favourite bands came to be (Placebo, The Flaming Lips, Manic Street Preachers, Rage Against the Machine, Modest Mouse). But there's been some good stuff coming from this decade as well.
I will bet on the future!
Nobody voted for 1900 yet? That's shocking. :D
Looks like we got a big Classical music fan here.
I personally voted the 70s. I like a lot of 60s, 80s, and 90s music, but the 70s in my opinion trumps it all. The Eagles, James Taylor, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, Harry Chapin, Billy Joel, Kansas, Boston... I think I could go on for a while.
Late 60's, early 70's for me. Hendrix, Cream, Beatles! Yeahhhhhh! :o
I think the equasion for this answer is ((iBirthYear-1900)/10)*10+20 . But then again, that doesn't apply for people under 20 years of age.
Isn't that the same as: (iBirthYear-1900)+20Quote:

I voted 70s for classic rock but this decade has bred the heaviest bands ever (Dillinger Escape Plan, Protest the Hero, Human Abstract, Unearth, Bring Me The Horizon, Trivium ...) and I definitely like that too.
I've never heard of any of those.Quote:

mathcore?? Do they write songs about calculus or something? :D
Ahah ! Actually, this genre is all about making the most intense music: both in the sense of being really hard music and really really really technical. Also, disonant chords (most often contains a minor 2nd interval) are abused which enforces the heaviness / stress of the songs.

So where's dualcore and quadcore?Quote:

Close enough, there's Nintendocore (actually it's a joke genre name but people still call it nintendocore anyway).

The 60s and 70s. I imagine that's partly because of my younger days and my personal belief that beyond a few songs here and there (such as 'here without you' 3doors down), today's music is hollow or downright obnoxious (most rap).
Hell, they've even managed to ruin country -
The 80's.
That is caused by lack of knowledge about today's music. There are amazing bands these days in all genres. Of course, do not expect 00's pop or rock to sound anything like 70's rock (though some bands try to). It's a different era and a different sound but it's not necessarily (sp ?) better or worse.Quote:

Karkwa - Le Compteur (alternative rock)
Malajube - Labyrinthes (album, alternative rock)
Polémil Bazar - Avale Ta Montre (album, alternative / ska / bohemian / big band / jazzy-sounding rock)
Oh noes, not the 70s or 80s. Thats like apes banging on drums, not that banging on drums is a bad thing. I do it. But seriously, you want a kick ass synth; thats what computers is about. and the nintendocore thing is funny. me likes :)
But the bands in the 70s & 80's actually play the instruments.Quote:

Even lack vocal ability isn't much of a problem, because technology can remove any bad elements, and add to the voice.
Let's hear them unplugged, and see what they're really worth! ;)
EDIT: And in the case of Nintendocore(and Gorillaz etc), you don't even see any real people, just animation.
So the human element is missing.
So you think bands like ACDC, Metallica, Depeche Mode, INXS, Ozzy Osbourne, Pet Shop Boys, U2... sound like apes banging on drums? Those must be some pretty talented Apes.Quote:
