Is Start Me Up the one where Jagger is dancing around in pink(?) lycra in the video and it's not even supposed to be a joke and is thus one of the funniest things I have ever seen?

I think there's always good music if you're willing to look for it.

I voted the sixties only because it's probably the decade with the least amount of music I listen to.

I can't choose. Although working on a mainstream aspect, the era we are in now stinks. There is always shitty mainstream music in every era, roundabouts. But there is usually something worthy that cracks the mainstream, which is definitely not the case nowadays.

It should be plain enough that jon boy limited the choices to the rock 'n' roll era.

My memory of it was slightly rusty, it's a tight purple top, not pink lycra. But Jaggers po-faced strutting is amusing.

at the start he looks like a confused homeless wayne sleep.

charlie watts always looks like he's the father of this young bunch of hooligans but is slightly proud.

I'm in the camp that feels that true worthwhile music is constant; there is always something good out there. The difference with the "naughties" and every decade before it, is that there is almost nothing good in the mainstream and no hope for anything because of the internet. So looking on this poll as "worst period of radio" I am picking the naughties. What is the opposite of inspiring? This shit is draining.

1820's were absolutely dreadful for popular music. Everyone talks about the 1980's being the worst decade for pop music, but no one ever talks about the awful crap that came out of the early 19th century. Talk about pure self-indulgent garbage.

Everything pre-80s is tied for worse.

mmmm, no offense but sometimes it seems to me that you know 3 bands (Xiu Xiu, Arab on Radar and Yellow Swans) that you just keep talking about. Broaden your horizons man.

It's pretty shocking to see how many people have voted for the '80s, which was possibly the most musically innovative decade since rock 'n' roll first hit the streets big time in the '50s. Even pop music was innovative in the '80s, regardless of how naff it was.

The current decade, it seems to me, has been a blatant rehashing of the '80s and a continuation of the '90s, with very little innovation at all, so it gets my vote as "the crappest decade of the last fifty-six years".

I would like to add, though, that there were some pretty dire times in the reign of Henry VIII. I mean, you hear one lute, you've heard 'em all, yeah?


EDIT - hmmm, I voted '90s when this poll first opened. Shows how little I knew back then, doesn't it?
