Now the only worry is that, like hip hop in the '00s, Electronic goes super commercial (*cough*Guetta*cough*) in the next decade... We shall see.
That already happened in the mid to late 90's with the whole "Electronica" era. I mean for the love of god, Madonna released an "Electronica" album ... you know if a genre survives Madonna leeching on it, it's probably gonna live.
We might not decide on the best decade from 1960-2000, but we can all agree the 80's was the worst
Anything after 2000 is also garbage compared to pre 2000.

It doesn't really say hi though. I can think of 50 albums that are better than it. Not a bad album, but I'm surprised so many people hold it in such high regard.

The advent of music videos probably tips the 80's just ahead of the 70's IMO. The majority of the worlds greatest artists and bands had their career peak in the 80's. It's been downhill since the early 90's to the present where it's in shambles.

bleh, the advent of music videos was where everything started to go wrong. from then on it became more about the presentation than the music itself. give me the videos from the 70's where it was just the band playing anyday

65-75. Not arguable. Aerosmith, Van Halen, ACDC, Black Sabbath, Kiss, etc. Those were the 10 years that changed music as we know it. Sadly, we are currently in the WORST decade for music. There really is only 5 or so good rock bands that are under the age of 45 (band members, not band age)

That only works if you assume everyone likes Rock. It definitely varies based on genre.

If everything after 2000 is garbage, but you can name 50 albums you like better than it, I can only infer that you like garbage to the point you have a rating system for it?

But I didn't say everything after 2000 was garbage. I was saying that I don't think using "Hot Fuss" is a great example that music after the 2000s wasn't good. "Hot Fuss" is a 3.5/5 album at best in my opinion. There are, as I said, at least 50 albums that I would use as better representations that there was actually quality music in the 2000's. But the 2000's are a sliding scale, with 2000-2004 being much better than 2005-2009.

There's a simple equation to figure out the "best" decade.
Take your year of birth and add 15 years to it. Where that lands is the best decade of music.
Unless you're a hipster, in which case you take your year of birth and subtract 5 years from it, then you may play the "I was born in the wrong decade!" card.
