The 2 best 10 year stretches in music were 77-87 and 93-2003.

The '80s were a shit decade for music. Too much slickness, not enough soul. At least hip-hop was good towards the end of the decade.

I understand I wasn't alive to experience any of the 1980s, but surely you can't say a decade containing The Smiths, Pixies, The Cure, Talking Heads, Joy Division, Sonic Youth, Metallica, Tom Waits, Kate Bush, The Stone Roses, Dead Kennedys, Prince, Swans, Beastie Boys, Michael Jackon's best output, Husker Du, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Chameleons and Peter Gabriel is shit?

Today, people can't even sing anymore. Just use Auto-Tune, and you've got a track.

Laura Marling, Beyoncé, The National, PJ Harvey, Arcade Fire, Joanna Newsom, Janelle Monáe, Tame Impala, Polica, The Tallest Man On Earth, Fleet Foxes, OFF!, Death Grips, Danny Brown, Sigur Rós, Fiona Apple, Killer Mike, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, St. Vincent, The Roots, Frank Ocean, Sun Kil Moon, Kendrick Lamar, Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs and Queens of the Stone Age.

You'll already be aware of most of those, if not all of them. But people can sing today.

That's it - I'm out of here.
Every decade in human history has contained both great and truly awful music, but that judgement too comes down to personal preference, so there is no right and wrong here, and comparing decades is ultimately as futile as comparing Colin Bell with Kun Aguero.
But I'm sure I am probably wrong, so maybe some really clever person can PM me with the correct answer, so that I know what to think in future.

Or:

Every decade.

See?
I knew we'd end up agreeing in the end - it's the natural order of things.
Now I'll have to find someone else to hate.
I'm going away to draw up a very short shortlist, given that I have offended most folk already.

I'm copying that quote and putting it in the archives, it's a thing of beauty

 

[Bill]

For me the 70's, closely followed by the 60's

C,mon all you chavvy kids convince me that theres been anything good since 2000

Correct.
One or two since but not many.
