Greatest decade in Music History

[Da Jungles]

70s then 90s.

Hip hop wasn’t around in the 70s LIKE THAT, but the 70s had some influence on 90s hip hop

 

[FTBS]

70’s had no hip hop

It’s the 90’s, best hip hop & rnb music that’s still sampled and remade today

80’s is second

Should've made a poll. 90s.

I see everyone is saying the 70s, and it definitely was tough, but every genre was hitting in the 90s and hip-hop ain't exist in the 70s. I can't discount those facts.

70s then 90s.

Hip hop wasn’t around in the 70s, but the 70s had some influence on 90s hip hop

Hip hop most definitely did exist in the 70s . Thats when it was born. I get yall are probably talking about a widespread mainstream level but it still existed in the 70s and doesn't become what it did without the 70s. 70s still stands as the most influential decade on hip hop to this day as well.

I can’t speak for them but that’s what I meant. I know it existed but it wasn’t around “like that”(what I should’ve said to prevent confusion).

I’ll edit.

I know. But the 90s it's in its prime. In the 70s it was raw, people didn't quite know what it was yet. Similarly rock was out in the 40s, but it took 20-30 years for it fo hit it's prime.

Objectively...the 70s and 80s

 

[SNYC]

80s

There was something for everyone. Rock, R&B, Hip Hop in it's purest form, House, etc.

Today's pop music still use the 80s post-disco sound as a template

plus the Trinity (MJ, Prince, Madonna) killing the charts

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

80s

Today's pop music still use the 80s post-disco sound as a template

This is definitely the case for the 80s. We moved away from the sound then came back in a big way over the past ten years or so

 

[SpikeLee Cumbersmith]

I would say the 70s. The diversity of music genres. The freaking awesome musicians.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Really only 3 MAYBE 4 decades in contention:

70s
80s
90s
00s(this is probably pushing it, even though a lot of my favorite albums are from this decade)

 

[BlackAchilles]

70s

Most of the best of Marvin, Stevie, Isley bros

Zeppelin at their peak

Soft Rock

Jazz fusion

Joni Mitchell

Bob Marley

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Greatest decade of music was the 80's hands down

Tough choice, but this is what I'm leaning towards.

 

[2 one 3]

70s

 

[boogers]

actually i think every decade had its own flavor up until the 2000s-2010s

the internet kinda ruined everything

70s/80s for me

 

[⠀X ⠀]

It’s hard to choose one decade. I think from 1984 to 2003 was the best. If I had to choose one, it would be the 90’s.

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

Coli full of geek weirdos who pretend to not like hip hop , but listen to teddy pendergrass or Dianna Ross & the supremes or jazz, electronic genres or Motley Crue instead

Foh eclectic wannabes

if you grew up in a Black household you heard 70's music Either your mom or pops or your Auntie or SOMEBODY, or you heard a 70s classic in one of the many classic films that dropped in the 90's.

How are you a real hip-hop fan and never checked out of any of the jazz that got sampled ?
