I'm almost 40 - but I gotta say some of the best music I've heard in my life is stuff from artists who made their debut in the last 15 years, so I picked the 2000's.

Well, considering some of my favorite songs from the 60's were actually WRITTEN in the 30s & 50s (can you say "Robert Johnson" & "Willie Dixon"? I knew that you could), I'm at a loss as to which decade I really can call my favorite.

20's & 30's: the heyday of Delta Blues

40's: Big Band swing

50's: BeBop & Bossa Nova Jazz, Electric Chicago Blues, (had a baby and it was called) Rock & Roll, Les Paul & Mary Ford

60's: Folk revival (including later in the decade, the Folk/ROCK movement), Surf music, British invasion (pop, rock & blues throughout the decade), Psychedelia

70's: Other than disco & punk later in the decade, what label can we give to the first half of the decade? Kind of a mixed bag o' stuff....singer/songwriters, Prog Rock (Yes, ELP, early Genesis), Art Rock (Kinks, Bowie, Roxy Music, etc), Jazz Fusion (Weather Report, Return To Forever), Reggae

80's: "New Wave", "Post Modern", "Hair Metal", Ska, "urban cowboy"

90's: Grunge & "New" Country

Y2K's: ??? 70's & 80's retro-revival

10's: American Idol


I guess not so much my favorite "decade"...but "Half Century" would be from the 20's through the 70's (with a bit of emphasis on 60's & 70's, since those were my peak music discovery years).

etc.

seventies. also because of Tusk. And close to that, the nineties, when all the indie-rock-bands that got inspired by Tusk came to fruition, aside from grunge, that I love dearly too.
