starting at the 50's.

[porkmarras]

I assume that it doesn't have to be a decade.

[Inhuman]

I voted 50's particularly for my lack of knowledge. 80's was one of the key decades in my opinion, but I'm sure the 50's introduced a lot of key icons.

[porkmarras]

Indeed Nefeli,that's why i've asked the question in the first place.How can anyone say that a whole decade is musically rubbish?That way of thinking is so last century.There has always been good music throughout decades.The fact that music charts were invented has inculcated in the listener the notion that what is sold is representative as a whole of the music output of any given period of time.

But then not everything was bad within the britpop genre(Pulp to name just one) and britpop wasnt the only thing that happened in music in the 90s even as it was happening.

i'd go with all the unnecessary prog-stuff,not sure which decade to choose(some bands are still going,and nowadays some others rip off that genre) ,not all the bands were rubbish,but most of them (and most of that music) in my opinion is kinda worthless.

[pantophobia]

the 00s

where there has always been great underground music every decade, only until this decade where there was no singular genre or trend in the mainstream that merits much remembrance

the closest being hip-hop, but there has been too much inconsistency of the best selling artists, for every Jay-Z, there was a Puffy or Master P, for every Outkast, there is a Black Eyed Peas, and for every Nas, Fat Joe and Jadakiss, there a thousand Chingys, Fabolous, Slim Thug, those others aren't worth mentioning

[HaydenAsche]

They were all terrible.

[Danny Himself]

The noughties suck balls.

[king_buzzo]

00s like someone above said

[k-krack]

I pick the fifties. because i honestly don't like blues and that. i like jazz... but the decades that follow suit me much better.

[Iain]

What about rock and roll. Bo Diddleys first album is great. And an abundance of Doo Wop is a bonus.

[k-krack]

What about rock'n'roll? Like i said, i honestly don't care for that stuff, it bores the crap right outta me.

[king_buzzo]

i hate the 80s hair metal

[Iain]

Fair enough.

[Hip Priest]

The 1990's, especiially the mid to late 90's were uninspiring to say the least - I don't think I've ever bought so little music as I did then. For a while I just thought maybe I was getting old, but the 00's have quashed that notion as they've been superb.
