90s pop was pretty weak. Great rock and rap though. I do think this might be my 2nd choice tho.Tbh I think it's the 90s
This is where I come out. Though the past decades are hurting too.Tbh I think it's the 90s
Actually yeah, given the prevalence of GnR and Biggie etc in the 90s, maybe 2000-2019 are the best cuts here.
Alternative Rock was amazing. Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana .... My second favorite decade of music behind the 70’s90s pop was pretty weak. Great rock and rap though. I do think this might be my 2nd choice tho.
Yeah the past 15yrs or so have been pretty bleak.Actually yeah, given the prevalence of GnR and Biggie etc in the 90s, maybe 2000-2019 are the best cuts here.
Zep alone carries that decade regardless of what else had been produced (and a lot of other great music was).Someone could make an argument for the 70s. I’d hate them, and would want them dead, but it wouldn’t be totally unreasonable.
Dkp beat me to it as I was typing and trying to remember great albumsAlternative Rock was amazing. Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana .... My second favorite decade of music behind the 70’s
Insane list no doubtWho is giving away
Smells Like Teen Spirit, Ten, Enter the 36 Chambers, Ready to Die, Illmatic, jar of flies, The Chronic, superunknown, Check your head etc
70's were better than the 80's so.Someone could make an argument for the 70s. I’d hate them, and would want them dead, but it wouldn’t be totally unreasonable.

Lol, you seem to be trapped in your ninja monk realityYeah those don't really do much for me
This is crazy talk. We are in the golden age of music.Easily the 2010s and I’m not the “get off my lawn type”.
Sure but I could run off great bands from every decade. 70s has some real weakness.Alternative Rock was amazing. Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana .... My second favorite decade of music behind the 70’s

Meh. Great band but played to death.Zep alone carries that decade regardless of what else had been produced (and a lot of other great music was).
What is the breakdown of how many of your 1000 songs from 1000 bands are from 2010s?This is crazy talk. We are in the golden age of music.
If you don’t like jazz, pop, rock, blues or R&B I could see how you would feel that way.Music was bad in the 50s. I wouldn’t miss going the rest of my life without those songs.
Once I get through the list, I'll run some statisticsWhat is the breakdown of how many of your 1000 songs from 1000 bands are from 2010s?
Every decade has real weakness. Some of the best music ever was produced in the early 70’s (late 60’s too). That music will still be great for decades to come.Sure but I could run off great bands from every decade. 70s has some real weakness
Played to death because they are probably the greatest rock band of all time. That tends to happen. Meh. Great band but played to death.Zep alone carries that decade regardless of what else had been produced (and a lot of other great music was).
Yikes. If you like hip hop, this is the only decade I couldn't live without.hagmania said:Tbh I think it's the 90s
Yep, was surprised more aren’t saying 50’s and this is coming from a guy who would rank the 60’s #1. I think 50’s is the obvious “correct” answer.Juxtatarot said:Music was bad in the 50s. I wouldn’t miss going the rest of my life without those songs.
Yep. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, RHCP, Rage, Radiohead, Tool, NIN, Sublime, Beck,etc. I could just keep naming names. Don't get me started with hip hop. Easily my favorite decade.@Ilov80s hinted at it earlier, great decade for rock and rap - stood the test of time too. Which is why I think its consideration is laughable.
sameNot talking importance or the building blocks of what came after and just going the selfish route of what I wouldn't miss at all, 50s is a slam dunk easy answer. If that wasn't an option it would be a lot tougher, and not sure how I would vote. My guess would be 60s or 00s would be next on the chopping block.
Childish nonsense.Juxtatarot said:Music was bad in the 50s. I wouldn’t miss going the rest of my life without those songs.

Yep, the electronic pop with the bad hair and fashion dooms the 80's.tommyboy said:70's: every genre of music we listened to the last 50 years.
80's: stuff that started in the 70's with electronics added in
There's a lot of truth to this. Age is a big factor here...when you "tuned in", when you "tuned out". I am not a big fan of most of the synthesized, electronic stuff of the '80s, but since the 80s were my coming of age years, there are too many memories and trigger songs that I couldn't just throw it away. I too stopped listening to most new stuff in the 2000's and I seem to know even less stuff from the current decade. Thus either of the decades from 2000-2019 would be at the top of my list to cut.I'm going with the Aughts. Mostly because that's when I really began to stop paying attention to alot of new music.
Besides Sinatra, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Hank Williams, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, etc. The jazz of the 50s alone is enough to rival any decade.Terminalxylem said:50’s Probably some decent music then, but before my time. What songs from the 1950s have stood the test of time?
