I went with the seventies because it represents to me the dawning of the music I enjoy to this day i.e. experimental/art rock and or fusion. To make my point, here are the pioneers that boosted the prior generations influences and set it on the course that has produced my favorite artists and products:
Chick Corea Steely Dan Weather Report Herbie Hancock Yes Moody Blues Cream Hendrix Emerson Lake and Palmer Frank Zappa Stanley Clark Steve Khan Al Stewart Alan Parsons Kate Bush
These are just off the top of my head. However, I can not think of a stronger decade (save a portion of the 60's w/Beatles/Stones/Kinks/Yardbirds) that have been as influential to the music that I enjoy to this day.

Hmmm was there no music in the 1940's and 50's? I'd even throw a vote to the 30's since that truly was the birth of recording artists as we know them. I'll sit this one out.

I choose the 80's as my fav musical decade. As cheerless as it was, The Cold War really had an influence on music in the 80's. It gave bands like U2, The Police, and to some extent Rush, a wealth of new material. I went for the gloomy subject matter, played to a danceable beat (Tears For Fears is another).

Fine, or you could say which is your favorite decade of the ones presented I was just being snide, so I hope you were. Although I probably would prefer another decade, I'll go with my musical alter-egos fave of the 80's. My tastes can be a little schizophrenic

My vote went to the nineties, the decade where Radiohead went skyhigh, the smashing pumpkins roze (and when nosefirst)... or was that the 80's already? The 80's weren't bad either... why can't we choose 2 decades (or 3 for that matter, in '00 Mrs. Bush gave us Aerial).

I think if we were to choose more than one decade the concept of "favorite" would be diluted. I don't want to do that to such a nice concept. But yeah, next time, if there is one, I will include every decade from which recorded music has been preserved (actually I do like the 30s and 40s) - and also I'll include some waffling space. ehh... is Kate married?

We don't have to limit it to decades of recorded music, do we? What if my favorite decade was 1600-1609, the dawn of Baroque music? Yeah I know, now I'm just going for Baroque. ::rim shot:: HEY---if I didn't say it Sven Golly would have! I even did my homework for this joke--will you cut me that slack?

I had actually thought about mentioning the mesozoic age as being the start of it all.

i voted for the 70's. it was definately the best time for music and many great artist like stevie wonder, pink floyd and joni mitchell recorded great music. a very close second are the 90's when the alternative music rose and radiohead, tori amos, pj harvey and so on came.
