POLL: During what decade was the best music produced?

Well, all the music being produced today has been influenced by all the music in the past. It doesn't matter if it's pop, jazz or metal, in my opinion. But then again, the music being produced today will influence the music of the 2020's and 2030's and so on.

Personally, I'd say the '00's. Bands like Opeth, Tool, Isis, Truckfighters, Cult of Luna, etc. all influenced me so I feel like they're the best. But of course, I'm conflicted because I don't want to say that Lil' Wayne and Katy Perry are the best.

So...I'm just going to say all decades that human beings existed. Problem solved!
 
For me,it's tough to say since I listen to just about everything....with some exception.Most, but not all modern stuff just dosen't do it for me.I guess I'm a child of the 60's, 70's so those decades seem to have the most impact on my musical taste,except disco or R&B from that era.

I still listen to classical,swing,jazz,blues,Mowtown,soul,funk and country.

The best decade for music was the decade in which the best drummer in the world recorded.

Decades when the best music was produced?
1730's-50's.. 1780's...... 1880's....1900-1950? Then rock comes in and the standard of writing goes way down for a bit with some bright spots here and there. gonna go with 1911-1960 as the time when the best American pop music was written. Jerome Kern,Irving Berlin,George Gershwin et al...yeah...... second half of the 20th century wasnt nearly as good musically as the first.
