The best and most creative Decade in music has to be the 1960s.

it was the 70s actually

60s are good but what about the early 60s? Not a lot of good stuff except jazz. 70s had more quantity year by year I think.

1970s established alot of genres.
But all of them got their roots in the 60s
Punk got their roots in MC5 and Iggy and the stooges in 68/69
Metal got theirs from the psyhcadelic rock expierience.
Think about it 3 years in the 60s changed music. 67,68, and 69.

Rock definitely didn't peak in the 60's. I'm sorry, but we're talking about a decade that only even really had rock music that wasn't old-timey rock n roll for the latter half of it. There was maybe only *arguably* proto-metal in 1969. There was only proto-punk around the same time. So basically, metal and punk just don't exist. The idea of guitar distortion is still a weird concept. Marshall wasn't even really making 100-watt amps.

Come on, rock peaked in the 70's. You can say you prefer the 60's vibe, but do you? Do you really like the music of 1962 that much? You're telling me 1962 has better rock than 1972? Rock peaked between 1968 and 1977. That's the 70's.

Pop music has been great in literally every decade except maybe the 00's. The 50's had great pop. The 80's had great pop. The 90's, of course, had great pop.

And I don't see what's so great about going from rockabilly to protopunk in 9 years. You know what that means in real terms? 8 years of rockabilly with one year of not-quite-metal.

The mid to late 60s were the real kickers. In 61 the average kid listened to Doo wop, by 65 every kid was either a kinks, Beatles, or rolling Stones fan.
By 1969 it's procal harum, creedance clear water revival, and Jimi Hendrix.

Rockabilly died in 63, we had the British invasion in 63-65 with the kinks, Beatles, and rolling Stones.
The summer of love in 67 helped produce psychedelic rock which paved the way for metal, and punk in 68 and 69.

the doors desu

Can't forget them.

I dunno the 90s had pretty shit pop but personal preference.
As for rock when I mean it peaked I'm talking rock and roll before rock music was split into catagories in the 70s between soft rock like Chicago, hard rock like the eagle's, and early glam metal music like kiss and Alice Cooper. In the 1960s rock music was a huge label. But take a Listin to some of.those songs you think are from 70 alot of them come from 67 and 68.
