I agree with a previous posters comments about boring myself out on some 90's music. I haven't listed to much Nirvana in the past decade because I listened to it to death in the 90s. I've almost Soundgarden'd and AIC'd myself out.
I've been listening to many of the other bands recently. There was so much good music in the 90s! BTW there's bands that suck from every decade. I think we should measure each decade by the bands that didn't suck. BTW I also don't agree with Bryan Adam's being on the suck list. He's pretty good
edit: I will say that the 90's were bi-polar. The music output up to around '96 was vastly superior to what was coming out in the back half of the decade.
YES!! That is a quality list right there!! I mean, c'mon, do you know how many couples skates I got at the rink because of PM Dawn? How I would not have been able to show off my speed skating prowess if C&C Music Factory didn't exist?! Thus leading me to more couples skating 'dates'!?
Ummm Gangster rap anyone?
Not for couples' skate!
Ooops, my bad...
Who couldn't hold hands and skate to "Today it was a good day" or some Bone Thugs?!?

yeah, i was expecting the 90's to win out, but was expecting more votes for the 80's. i suppose i see the 90's as mostly a period of about 4 years when anybody cared about the music. the second half of the 90's is a really an absolute piece of crap. i am looking at you alanis, third eye blind, marcy playground et al.
Marcy Playground's "St Joe by the school bus" is a great song. Don't listen to Sex and candy and try that album again. Quirky and different. Hell there's a song about invisible cloaks!
fair enough...i will give it a try. i never listened to the album based on sex and candy. it was an alright song that got played so much it made me hate music in general for a while
The last 3 years of the 90's was a massive nosedive musically, especially in rock. Rap rock and 5th generation grunge really was the worst. Those last 3 years were a blemish on what was otherwise a great decade for rock music.
I'm 32 and have always loved the sixties. So many of rock's doors were broken down and the innovators are the ones who are usually written about at the end of the day.
each decade brought something special and some garbage. Regardless, as several posters said earlier, 65-75 will be a high water mark upon which all other decades are measured.

close to my thesis. i think the last part of the 90's may be the worst few years in music ever. if it weren't for napster, it might have stayed that way
90's was the best era to me, and not only because of the bands coming out in the early 90's that are still my favorites. Hip-hop during that time was so much better than it is now with Wu-Tang, Nas, Jay, when New York was producing a ton of great rappers.

Let's not think the 90s were the only decade to have its ace of base and hammer. The 60s, 70s, and 80s were filled with garbage as well. It's just the 90s garbage was overwhelmed by the some of the best music ever written.
I went 90s, but the late 70s and 80s were also great.Not just for music but it was still was the last stand innocent unplugged awesome fun.Cruisin,Bon fires,keg parties,cassette tapes,sex drugs and rock n roll, hanging at the beach,etc.No cell phones,computers and posting up to Facebook and all that garbage. Good times

I gave my vote to the 2000's because the 90's are definitely represented by previous posters (surprise). But Napster was big for me in 2000 and really opened me up to a lot of new things happening musically. I remember sitting on my computer with Napster open in one window and cdnow.com (remember this, before amazon?) open in another. They had a similar feature to amazon where you could discover new music through association with other bands you liked. I really branched out my tastes over the next 4 or 5 years and found all sorts of stuff. Also I was early to the Pandora bandwagon (before advertisments).

i'm pretty much with you on the 2000's....as a whole, there was some really solid music throughout the decade. no complaints here.
