I have got to go with the 70''s, but the 60's and 80's had some great music as well.

I'll go with the one I grew up with - the 60's. Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Who, Kinks, Beach Boys, The Dead, Airplane, Hendrix, the Doors et al. Just a total motherload of music still listenable to this day.
Too much of the early 70's was overly elaborate progressive rock, though there was still solid stuff from Zeppelin and others to keep the wolf howling.
Too much of the 80's was disco.
The 90's were plagued by not enough exposure for the good music that was out there, and too much exposure for the lousy music (thanks MTV).
If I had to pick the best overall ten-year period it would be from 64 - 73.

Not to be a stickler, but disco was more the latter part of the 70's, disco was declared "dead" at a baseball game in the early 80's when they burned several disco records on the field.

I'd rather be napping!!
DJ, you are showing your crack smoking idiocy by even mentioning the 80's, with a very few exceptions they sucked.
I voted for the 60's, with a very hard thought to the 90's, both showed a very wide variety. I just think that the 60's had a little more congruity. I could have easily been swayed to the 90's, but of course that was my 20's and I loved almost the entire decade of music. From the emergence of hardcore rap to the "grunge" scene and the mix of the two.

Most critics of the music field would agree. I probably am sentimental somewhat to the '80s because that is when I finished high school and the music reminds me of all the good times. "Crack smoking idiocy", perhaps that is a little harsh.:)

Depends entirely on your age and social background. I could say '90s simply because of The Chronic and Enter the Wu, and some other asshole could say '90s because of Dave Matthews Band or some shit.
I would vote '80s I suppose, were I forced to vote at all. Peter Cetera just had too much to say to be deprived of the honor.

HTTR Forever.
Every decade has a signature sound.
90's was grunge
80's was the "big" sound
70's sadly, had disco
The 60's had guitar rock. As mentioned previously, The Beatles, Stones, Dead, Dylan, Hendrix, Joplin....
My vote goes to the 60's.

Disco was indeed biggest during the latter half of the '70s, but the baseball incident was in 1979 (not early '80s) in Chicago when they blew up (not burned) a huge stack of disco records...a riot in the ball park ensued.
As for the best music, I'd say the '60s. You had both the rock and roll that progressed from the stale old '50s rock, along with the emergence of Motown. But, I'll also side with KSB about the big band sounds of pre-1950...that's true American music.
