But anyway, VERY subjective question. Naturally, most would end up picking the decade they grew up in.
But I'll try to look at each objectively:
60s: Beatles, "British Invasion", socially & politically aware songs, peace, love, the upbeat Motown songs, etc.. The 60s are a HARD act to follow in terms of idealism & overall innovation.
70s: rock fragments into many diff' sub-genres. Disco, 60s idealism is dead. It's all about escapism w/ disco, soft rock (James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, et al) or hard rock (eg: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath etc)
80s: MTV changes everything. For the worst to some. The scene more than ever before is all about image over substance. More & more producer-driven music. "hair metal" dominates airwaves. Hip hop gains mainstream popularity. By end of decade, making a video to get exposed is a must.
90s: After grunge, rock takes a back seat to hip hop, rap & pop. (Spice Girls, boy bands etc) Short shelf life pop tunes dominate.
Now: It's all about producer-driven music more than before. (w/ a HANDful of genuine singer songwriters) Just look at American Idol. Few are making groundbreaking music anymore, so we have to vote for our new music heros on tv.
So which is best? Heh, well by MY standards, I'll take the 60s & 70s, thank you...

out of those you suggest i would pick the 70`s but my fav era is the 60`s, so much of the music from that time has been influential in shaping the music of today. and it has stood the test of time.

the sixties. Unquestionably. The development of the electric guitar sparked it all off.
But in the 1960's if you had asked this very same question, a lot of people would have said the 1930's.....!!!!

The 80's definitely - the 90's is when it all went downhill, & as for the music now, it's awful.

I second everything that Fonzie T said, except I would opt for the 1980s/90s, because that was when I was growing up!
