Both decades were great, although if this were in general music I'd take the 60's because I like the jazz better from that decade.

Since this is the ROCK section, I picked both.

Amen to that. I can't believe people still try to find good music on the radio. Every format has turned to garbage. There are, of course, occasional exceptions, but even they are hit and miss (we have KEXP out here, which at times is halfway decent).

I kind of like that my favorite bands cost less than $20 to see live

Except for that Dead Can Dance ticket

I'm okay now, really...

I was born in 1971, started to listen to music in my teens in the 80's, and was heavily influenced by music in the 90's. That being said, the 60's are my choice for several reasons. As in every decade music grows and evolves. We saw great changes in music in the 1990's. But the 60's, wow, the changes more very dramatic, and changed bi-annually. In rock music, the 60's started out with singles being the most important way to get your music across. By the end of the decade, not only did the importance of the album grow, we started to see concept albums too. We saw rock music evolve from a three chord progress to multi-layered music with several chord changes. We saw Jazz grow by leaps and bounds. We were introduced to progressive rock music. The 60's are with out a doubt the father to most types of popular music we have today. Yes, the 90's had lots of changes too, but the 60's influence started it all. The influence of bands like The Beatles, songwriters like Bob Dylan, jazz greats like Miles Davis and Charles Mingus, producers like Phil Spector, song arrangers like Brian Wilson, and music founder Barry Gordy, can still be heavily felt. It will be very hard for any future decade of music to produce what the 60's did.

The late 80s/early 90s for me is my favorite era of music. Late 90s was totally boring
My second favorite era has to be late 60s/early 70s. And actually pretty much all of the 70s.
But yeah whatever. I voted for the 90s cuz that's when I grew up, I feel a deeper connection with it.

I'd say the second half of the 60's and the first half of the 90's.....they other halves could nowhere near equal the fore-mentioned halves. SO anyways, I voted that both rocked.

i like way too many bands of each decade of music for me to be able to pick a decade so i picked both.

Phenomenal.

Opeth's Morningrise and Edge of Sanity's Crimson alone are enough to make late 90s worthwhile.

60s, no second thoughts
