this question is so totally silly. i mean, rev rock, this is like saying 'whose better, japan or france?' its not a question that can be debated. no one can make a blanket statement about a whole decade in such a blunt way. its hard enough to argue between just two artists but entire movements in music? dont be silly.

I don't see why it is silly... Answers don't always have to be complex... For me I went to the core of it... What do I listen more to and think is better... I admit that I have been exposed to more 60's music than 90's music.. But that also is relative as I probably have been exposed to more 90's music than 95% of all rock music fans... But I am a 60's music freak and have heard tons of songs from that decade and I like so much of it... Of course we can break down certain elements of each decade and there may be conflicts that just can't be fleshed out,, but as a whole, which decade had more enjoyable music (at least that is how I look at it) and from my exposure, the 60's are my choice...

Oh,, and France vs. Japan,,, I'll take Japan...

The 90's kicked ass. Finally music took a turn for the better. I am sick of all that 60's hippy love crap!! Granted their was some great influences and the Doors are the best band ever. But really...

Keep Music Evil!!!

Wow rev, normally all you do is piss me off but this is a great thread.....

Im gonna say 90's....Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, AIC, Korn, Blues Traveler, and i'll go out on a long limb here...... Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z.....Lets not forget Marilyn Manson, Incubus, And later part of Metallica.... I could name hundreds more which i probably will later...... 60's +great music but my heart lay with the 90's

This isn't even a contest...the 60's all the way !!

although i've probably only scratched the surface of both decades' music, the 60's seem the obvious choice. almost all forms of popular music were reinvented and improved, and saw in explosion of pop in all directions. the 60's are like the axle upon which pop was grown from

I have to agree with camilojoe. There's a lot of music from each of those decades that I love, but ignoring that, the really important thing is the sheer amount of influence the '60's had on the following decades.

The 60's Forever!!!!

both, I guess... okay 60's pop formed the basis for a lot of the contemporary stuff, but most of my favourite bands are from the nineties

As for the 90s, I had really high hopes for the 90s based on all the interesting stuff that was happening in music between '87 and '93 or so...but was I ever disappointed. The 90s was a really drab decade as far as radio and the major labels are concerned (in my opinion). Everything I've really liked since the early 90s has been "off the beaten path", the stuff I've heard on adult alternative radio and things I've just stumbled on through word-of-mouth or being at the right place at the right time to hear something really great that very few people know about.

yeah you're sentimental about it, because you grew up then, the same with me for the nineties...
and you know it's always been that way for me, that you had to dig for great music, so this doesn't strike me as weird and there's also the snobbish thing: you feel special because you're listening to something different than a lot of the other people...
anyway just don't listen to commercial radio and don't pay attention to major labels

oh and all you 80's haters, you're so unknowing...
