The 80s were the absolute worst.
While I'm most likely going to listen to something from the 2000s at any given time, I decided to throw my vote for the 1970s in honor of when music took the quantum leap to becoming great. Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Van der Graaf Generator, Rush, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and many many others really changed everything.
Some amazing jazz in the 60s though.
80s & 90s !!
The 80's also saw the best of Bruce Springsteen, U2, & Michael Jackson to name a few!
The 90's for me. The best house music there ever was was released in this decade. It also saw Nirvana & 2Pac which are artists I love.
The 90's
Depends on the genre. Each genre has gotten progressively worse or progressively amazing. For example, rap was better in the 90s than it is presently IMO. R&B was also better. It's pretty non-existent now.
