a) it all depends on what genre of music you are talking about
b) this has what to do with Queen?

I would like to break this down.

Let's make this thread about Irish Folk Songs.

So which decade do YOU think? I'd say the 60s, Danny Boy.

Irish Folk? '70s

1870s, that is.

1970s - Night on Disco Mountain, The Village People, James Taylor, Thin Lizzy, ELO etc.

Fantabulous.

'70s music is awesome, but disco sucked. The '60s were great, musically, only from '64 onwards when you look at pop/rock, IMHO, and the '50s were the summum of jazz.

Disco sucks?

Well, okay, maybe. Travis Bickle certainly thought so. But I dare anyone to watch this without their foot beginning to tap. In fact, I feel an Airplane-like dance off coming on right now.

I agree with those who say that the best decade was the 70s. A lot of great bands!
Disco was "decay", bad taste. The 80s was only Queen.

The 2030's. Just take my word for it.

I don't know but after 1987 everything went downhill.

I was all set to say the 70's until someone mentioned disco.

the best thing about disco, was "Disco Demolition Night", where between games of a Chicago White Sox double header a local Chicago DJ (Steve Dahl)blew up a huge stack of disco records ... inciting slight mayhem. Baseball fans charged onto the field and ripped up sod from the field etc ... Consequently, the Chicago White Sox had to forfeit the 2nd game of the double header (to the Detroit Tigers).

Disco really sucks ... an anoying unceasing, unvarying thump-thap thump-thap thump-thap thump-thap beat ... ugh.

Incidently, Steve Dahl released a song parody of Rod Stewart song called "Do You Think I'm Disco" somewhat before Disco Demolition Night (and it was a hit single in Chicago).

Here is a brief video about Disco Demolition Night:

Hilarious high school memories ... Disco Sucks!!

I remember, a year later trying to convince anyone that "Another One Bites the Dust" was disco done "properly".

I still like "Another One Bites the Dust", but I was very disappointed in 1982 with Hot Space ... but that is another story ...

Oh the "poll'?

Despite disco, the 70's are the best decade.
