What do you think the best decade for music has been so far and why?

For me personally I'll have to say the 1980s. This is when I started tuning into radio stations and listening away. I got my first tape recorder and later a mini-jam box (you know, one speaker, not two) during those years.

I have very fond memories of music then. I loved just about everything then. I remember listening to The Cars a great deal as a child.

If I was going to make an assessment that was not personal. I would say the 1960s. I think this is when music became more modern and worldwide.

Many of the influences came from these artist. While I really love most all music previous to the 1990s, I can't say I am that impressed with the past 20 years. There is some I like, but it's mostly because it sounds like music from the 80s.

I do like some techno music, due to the beat that gives this body a boost to move.

In my own opinion, I think the best decade for music would be in the 80s. I have been exposed when I was young with the 70s and some 60s music but I seem to have many favorite songs, bands, and singers in the 80s. I think many great artists and talented ones too emerged in the 80s and the 80s songs for me are like classic.

If I listen to songs of the 80s I don't think that it is old. In fact, I seem to enjoy them more than the music of the 90s and the current ones. The singers in the 80s that I think contributed much and my favorite too are Madonna, Reo Speedwagon, Bryan Adams, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Dionne Warwick, Bon Jovi, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Menudo, A-ha, Flock of Seagulls, Johnny Hates Jazz, Breathe, Heart, Amy Grant, Alan Parson's Project, Atlantic Star, Bad English, Bananarama, Bangles, Belinda Carlisle, Billy Ocean, Wham and many many more!

I don't think you can answer a question like this. I grew up with the music of the 60's. Which of course was a big British invasion.

But the Brits came with the earlier music of the blues from down South. All the top people in British groups will tell you they listened to many of the black artists who played the chicken circuit. And that music has many different genres and styles from where you were in the South-Delta, Bayou, Chicago, Kansas City and many other styles of blues.

This was the start of rock and roll and all rock after came from this. The blues went on to become rap. Before this it was classical and many people enjoy this also.

For me, the best era of music was the 1980 | 1980's. It is probably because this was during my most formative years, the teenage and in the late 1980's, early adult years. This was a time when music was becoming a more integral part of my life.

I enjoyed Boston, Billy Joel, Journey, Kansas, Chicago, Foreigner, Asia, Air Supply and the list can go on and on. I remember the first cassette I purchased was Boston. They were the first band I really ever listened to on a regular basis.As an adult, I don't listen to the music of my youth as much, still have the collection and will put a CD in occasionally to relive some of my youth, but today i'm more into the country music scene.

My favorites of today are Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley and Martina McBride. I went from a classic rock type of music lover to a country music lover. That's the beauty of music.

I'd have to say late 60s, early 70s with bands like Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young), Bee Gees, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and those sort of free spirit bands. My favorite group is Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (or without Young too) just for their beautiful harmonies, wonderful lyrics, and feel-good music. I think it goes along with many of the other "Woodstock"-type groups that come from that era.

I will never get enough of that music. I love the feeling, the air, the sound of it all--songs full of love, free spirit, and joy. They're very memorable and they always seem to turn up a smile on people's faces.It's simply good music with beautiful sounds and songs and lyrics that mean something.

It's scary to compare that era/decade of music to today's music with all the mainstream music that's so fake (to me) and completely fall in comparison. They don't have the soul, the passion, the feel-good feeling you get from the music from the late 60s, 70s. Of course, there are exceptions but for me, there aren't many.

For example, Norah Jones would be an exception, but she's not extremely mainstream.

The 70's. Having listened to music from the 50s to the present, the decade of the 70s had in my opinion, consistently the best classic music of many types including country, rhythm and blues, and rock. It was the culmination of previous decades of African-American music, youth culture, the Beatles, etc.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
