I was torn between the 60's or the 70's, in the end I went with the 60's. Perhaps it's the swinger in me!

You're ignoring some important shifts in music between 1600 and 1900. Might as well just make it a ''Favourite era of pop music thread''.

Best era would be 1600-1900.

1990-2000 gets my vote. No exceptions. I grew up in that time so it's easy for me to choose.

I didn't grow up in this era, but gosh darn it the 60's had it all. The creme de la creme were in this decade. The British invasion, Motown, Ray Charles, James Brown, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Aretha, etc, etc.. Jeepers, that is a loaded decade. None can really compete.

1960-1970 for me out of the choices. A close second would be 1970-1980

Nah.
None of them were on par with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, or Johann Sebastian Bach.

1600-1900 is a lot longer than 10 years...
And in my opinion 1900-2010 is far superior to 1600-1900. Something being classical doesn't make it better.

Exactly, since many were masters of one instrument.
I can take someone like Prince who can play 20 instruments anywhere from good to mastered. Whereas, I can only speak of these classics as knowing one. Yes, there is praise that needs to be given to these pioneers because they started the whole process, but that's where it stops.

Even in musicianship.
Those guys were on par with Jimi Hendrix and Buckethead.
PS: Johnny Cash is nothing but an overrated talker/strummer.

You do realise they composed music for a wide array of instruments?
Besides, there are a lot of ''subgenres'' and differing eras in classical music that the OP has ignored. Just because you're not knowledgeable about classical music doesn't make it inferior to pop music. You like what you like, but please don't talk shit about a subject you know nothing about.

Very nicely put. I am a fan of most eras of music definitely. Especially classical as I major in it. Most of the comments are pure opinion based, as most of them should be, but the ones who were talking about stuff as if they knew it as fact are kind of wrong.

The 70's and the 90's were without a doubt the best era's of music. The past decade in my opinion has been absolute trash.

You're likely right, but do you listen to those guys on a normal basis, or would you prefer to listen to Metallica, or something more modern? I'm not well versed on classical music, so that genre is beyond me.
