Is there anyone who would vote for 00s and 10s lol
I would miss the other decades of incredible music, but 90s for me!
A world without History and Dangerous is a world I wouldn't want to live in!
It was close though, there was so much good music being made before.

Although I love and grew up on Bad and Dangerous, I prefer the 70s for music overall. If I could pick a specific 10 year period it'd probably be 73 to 83.

The vast majority of my favourite albums were in the 90s even though I'm an 80s kid.

God, that's a hard one (that's what my wife said to me last night).
I was tempted to say the 70s, because you have Off The Wall and Destiny from MJ, as well as all that gorgeous coming of age stuff on the Forever Michael album (One Day In Your Life and You Are There just kill me). Then there's all the great rock bands like Black Sabbath, The Stones, Judas Priest... I love that whole era of classic rock. Plus you have all those great Bowie albums like Station To Station, Low and Heroes and amazing funk bands like Parliament/Funkadelic, Sly & The Family Stone, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Earth Wind & Fire etc. I also love Neil Youngs 70s output as well. There was so many great artists and bands in the 70s, you were really spoilt for choice.
The 60s were before my time, the only music I really listen to from that era are The Beatles and The Stones. The 80s? Hmmmmm, you have the best of Prince's output, plus Thriller and Bad, and Appetite For Destruction, which has to be the greatest rock album ever made. The Smiths were an amazing band. But I'd still take the 70s over the 80s, even though it'd kill me to lose all those Prince albums. But just the sheer amount of great stuff from the 70s makes me go with that decade.
Then we come to the 90s. Dangerous, HIStory, BOTD from MJ. Loads of great stuff from Prince (whilst his best work was in the eighties, the nineties had some amazing work also). Two great albums from Guns N Roses. Tori Amos. Red Hot Chili Peppers best work. Some cool stuff from Bowie. Morrissey's solo stuff.
It'd definitely be a toss up between the 70s and the 90s for me, but I think the 90s would win out, because my two favourite musical acts (MJ and Prince) both released some of their best work in that decade, plus there was lots of other great stuff in the 90s aside from them.
The 00s isn't a complete write-off, although MJ only released one album and Prince's 00s albums were mostly uneven. Some of the guys from the 90s were still making solid albums into the 00s, especially Tori, Morrissey and RHCP. I really loved GNR's Chinese Democracy album. And you had the emergence of Van Hunt, who is probably the most criminally underrated artist alive today.
2010-2017 has been the worst era of music for me since rock and popular music really took off in the 60s.

Totally the 80s, as it has Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Wham! George Michael and many others. I love electro pop, early rap (Before all this negative and gangsta shit), late disco and hair metal. Also the 70s come very close along with the 60s. But the 90s or later not all.
Definitely 80s, but ideal 10 year span is 1977 - 1986 as it covers all the best disco, and synthesised pop of early and mid 80s. I would want 87 too, but then I miss out on magical 1977.
Matty with the 70s, you still get For You, Off the wall and Prince though, but you are losing 1999, Thriller, Purple Rain, Bad, Parade, SOTT, Lovesexy, True Blue, Like a Virgin, Like a Prayer and Dirty Mind, are you sure you don't want to join me in the 1980s.
The 70s are tempting as we have classic 70s Bowie (Hunky Dory to Heroes is faultless, except possibly Stage and Pin Ups) and classic 70s Stevie wonder (With 70s, you do get Songs in the Key of life), and a lot of great disco by Chic, Bee gees, EWF, kool and the gang, Donna Summer etc. But I choose 80s as I was born in 76 and pretty much picked up on music from 1982 onwards and just loved everything upt to 1988 (1989 was getting long in the tooth). Plus the 80s were my childhood, which was pretty sweet, the 80s were a cool decade with lots of toys, cool programmes and amazing music.

Either the 70s, 80s or 90s. I love the last one a bit more than the others.
