What Decade Had the Best Music? [POLL]

Kaleb — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:04:01 +0000

On Sunday night, I had a moment where I actually thought I was an old man. As I sat watching the Billboard Music Awards, I remember mumbling multiple old man phrases to myself. Things like, "This music is garbage," "Does anyone really like this?" and "They're clearly lip syncing their performance."

Quickly after the Billboard Music Awards ended, I came to the conclusion that I'm not an old man, new music just really is that bad. I ended up having a heated argument with a few people about what generation had the best music. I made a case for the '60s, but I want you to tell me which decade had the best music.

I'm sure some of you will be living the life, grilling out on the deck, backyard or garage, sitting and talking with friends and family. But usually there's some music in the background, right?
