In terms of "radio" I think it's been a slow descent since the late 60's. Overall I think there is and always has been good music if you can find it.

90's/Country
There was time I would have said 80's, but I think nostalgia and remembering my high school days have made that decade more appealing now than when I actually lived it. 90's to me is still a waste land of music.
I went with country not because I don't like it, but it seems to be getting much closer to rock and top 40. Sometimes a country hit sounds more like pop/rock to me. Just because the singer has a southern accent doesn't make it "country".

Since that "Selfie" song just came out by the Chainsmokers, I'm gonna say this decade, hands down. Worst song in the history of music, and it actually makes me angry when it comes on the radio. I won't provide a link, because I respect you guys too much.

I voted 90s as well, seems like Wu Tang is about the only thing that came out of that mess.

The first half of that period had some pretty good rock from the "grunge" bands. The 2nd half had some pretty good dance/house/techno. Pop during the 90's was dreadful.Marayln Manson?

But I don't like grunge music. I like some of the Soundgarden stuff, maybe Smashing Pumpkins. The rest of it is fodder for me, I don't like any of that stuff really.The first half of that period had some pretty good rock from the "grunge" bands.

I do like Kyle Minogue as far as dance. Do you have other examples to refresh my memory?

A little band named U2 was putting out some pretty good stuff in the early 90's as well.The first half of that period had some pretty good rock from the "grunge" bands. The 2nd half had some pretty good dance/house/techno. Pop during the 90's was dreadful.Marayln Manson?

Different genre - I also really liked Sublime though I know they're not everyone's cup of tea.

I think the 80s were. Maybe early 90s, then it went down hill with a few exceptions (Eminem, Jay Z, Wu Tang, Common, etc).

- some great albums at the end of the hair band era
- heavy metal at its peak (Megadeth's Rust in Peace, Metallica's last great album, etc.)
- grunge
- hard core rap at its peak (Dre, Snoop, Tupac, Biggie, etc.)
- hip hop at its peak
- country still hadn't gone all the way pop
- Rage Against The Machine
- Green Day
- Sublime
- 90's alternative

i'd never heard of this song, so i had to check it out. you're right. it's the worst. more troubling is the 54M+ views on YouTube. i'm changing my vote to this decade.

I just looked this up too. It's not the worst song in the history of music (Don't Worry Be Happy), but it does suck.

Something I did in school and still will do today if I see it in a jukebox, is select it to play every other song for an hour. People get really angry about this and I usually egg the crowd on in finding the culprit. It's really a good experiment in human nature.

Can't really say that the internet is killing music - but it is changing the model so much that it so segmented that it is hard to follow. American Idol and all that hasn't helped either ...

I'd never say the 90s. I grew up in the late 80s early 90s, and I remember a lot of hatred for the crappy music of the late 80s, with some notable "underground" exceptions. When Nirvana exploded there was this immense sense of relief, like FINALLY something great and authentic had been done. Grunge burned out fast, but it burned bright and the mid 90s were a great time for music. That's not even mentioning the Wu Tang Clan and other hip hop.

Just about everything I hear now sucks.
I guess I don't know of all the newer music, but all the crap I hear on the radio is consistently just dreadful.

Voted 80s. Almost voted this decade, but there is going to be an awesome album released in 2018 that will save it.

90's garage punk rock (gunk punk) and power pop/pop-punk were pretty on point, and kind of made it the second-best punk decade, IMO.Music from the 90's:I was thinking more of acts like Orbital, Daft Punk, Armand Van Helden, Moloko, Masters At Work, etc.But I don't like grunge music.

Chose 60s. Mostly bad music until the last few years.

Joy Division & New Order
The Cure
Talking Heads & David Byrne
The Pixies
Springsteen (not a fan, but I recognize the quality in songwriting and performance)
The Police
Public Enemy
These are just off the top of my head. 95% of the stuff that got massive airplay and MTV exposure in the 80s sucked, so it rightly gets a real bad rap. But the "underground" was alive and quite good.

And yet six others agree with him. Must be rebellious kids whose parents listen to '60s music.

This is thee right answer. And conveniently, one of the top selling artists if the 90's has added fiddle and pedal steel and is now one of the top selling artists in country music.

I think you have to dig deep into the 90's to appreciate what was going on underground. It really was the last underground decade. You can't depend on radio, as radio was a dying format.
As for the best, I'd go with 60's, 70's, 90's, 80's aughts, and then this decade, where it seems mediocre efforts make best of lists like flies.
