    The 90's was where I got my musical education so it'll always seem like a good decade for music for me. Pirate radio gave me the "college rock" experience I'd read about (or at least the Irish equivalent) and you won't believe this kids but back then MTV used to actually play music videos. We'd have it on pretty much 24/7 for the more mainstream stuff. The "pop" act were taken far less seriously back they seemed to get far less media attention, you didn't have this suffocating looming x-factor industry to contend with either pushing content into your face everywhere you anyway.

    Very different world pre-www. Now there's no particular focal point and everyone's interest have become more divergent and much more specific (not just in music). I don't even know what is popular with the cool kids these days or if music and fandom of particular bands even exists to the same extent anymore. I can't imagine it is as important to people today generally as it was then. Price you pay for living in a world with unlimited access to media I suppose.

    Some 90's genius that still sounds better than pretty much anything you'd hear today.
    Not that anything great shouldn't; timeless music is timeless.

    When I think 90s I think Pearl Jam and the 5 unreal albums that they put out over those 10 years.

    The 80's had Stock, Aitken and Waterman, but it still had some great music.

    THe 90's had crap but some gems. Blur, the Charlatan's, Stone Roses etc. Even REM, U2 and deelite had some good tunes!

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    Half of them have no musical affection with me. Prodigy had that famous one hit wonder with your man in the tunnel starting fires:D.
    Firestarter, tbh one of their weaker efforts. Most of the better stuff was earlier before they really made it big.

    The 90s were when heavy metal really started to mature and come into its own. I was never a fan of brit pop or grunge, but soundgarden, machine head, the golden age of metallica, there has never been so much awesome.

    TBH there was good music in the 1990's, of course the Spice Girls were the most heavily promoted. I don't believe the 80's was better, some of the early 80's brit/euro pop was pretty crap TBH.

    90's for me and it's not even close.

    Hip hop music really developed in the nineties and most of the classic albums come from that era.

    Cheesy hair metal rubbish was replaced with grunge and Brit pop.

    Funky rock/hip hop in the likes of the Chillis and RATM were born.

    Electronic music came to fruition. Big Beat, Breaks, Jungle, Drum and Bass, Rave, Downtempo, Acid Jazz, Trip Hop etc.

    Great artists and bands from previous decades went to shíte in the 80's imo. Jefferson Airplane went from psychedelic visionaries of the 60's to "We Built This City on Rock and Roll". *puke*

    It's all a matter of taste, but for me the 80's was the worst decade from 1960-2000.
