70's without a doubt

It was the decade that music was also at it's peak of creativeness. (Not to mention the best albums ever were released them, Led Zep IV, Darkside of the Moon, The Wall, Animals, Machine Head, In Rock)

It was the decade that Rock was REAL.

In the 80's Rock became a pop parody of itself (Though Metal was at it's best in the 80's)

[Rumin]

'60s. Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and Beatles released their best stuff. Plus awesomeness by Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, and Buffalo Springfield.

[Ultimate Riff]

19MOTHERFUCKING80's

[krissirge]

80's followed closely by the 90'ties

[DoubleTalkinJive]

Even though I love the 80s I think the 70s and 60s had better albums.

[Wildrose]

80's or 90's.

[The Third Man]

1970's (Floyd, Deep Purple, Clapton etc.) or 1980's (Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, SRV)

[Morten..]

80's

[rivicia]

I voted for the 70's

[Appetite18]

70's. 60's were great too. 80's produced a lot of shit so definitely not the best but they did have some great stuff too. 90s had some great albums but I prefer other decades. 2000s mostly suck ass so far.
