You'll notice I've left out the 2000s because that doesn't really count as a decade in music, does it? And besides, we all know it would win anyway.
WORST decade in music?

I really like the 80's music, and the 90s was pretty horrible. New wave for the win.

Well, I voted 1980s, but even they had some great music.

I voted for 50's because 2000-2010 wasn't a poll option.

50s are great too though. Berry, Orbison, Holly, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, John Mayal, and also many of the great soul singers got their starts in the late 50s. Dude 50s definitely didn't suck.
I can't vote for the 80s on a few principles;
There was a lot of new genres of music coming into their own. Hip Hop, Electronic Dance Music, Metal, etc etc were all from the 80s.
Some of the greatest songs and best albums are from the 80s. Thriller?
The late 80s were pretty bad but so were the early 90s and late 90s.
I vote the 70s. There was a lot of the same problems musically in the 70s as 80s but there just wasn't the same diversity of sound then.

speaking of 80s. One hell of a cool rock song came out in the 80's. But now Canada wants to ban it.

Money for Nothing is a great song with one badass guitar riff. It's a shame Canadians are deprived of such a great classic rock song. Yeah I suppose they can bleep it, but it won't have the same effect.

'80s. If bad music is diverse, it is still bad music. Being the roots of hip-hop, electronic dance music and hair metal is not really anything to brag about.
The 70s was by far the best decade for music precisely because various types of music had not yet retreated into their own ethnic and stylistic ghettos. Rock, funk, R&B and blues were all part of unified, mutually influencing musical culture. Also, artists still had the upper hand in terms of what music got made. By the 80s, the record companies had control of the industry with the exception of a few "leftover" bands from the 70s who were still big enough to do what they wanted.

Can a mod add the 2000s since it needs to be there?

Even the 1940s were better than the 2000s. For Hank alone.
