By how much you like it (in general).

I would say the 60s first - specifically the late 60s. Mainstream music was never better with acid/psychedelic rock, bluesy rock, folk, a bit of funk.etc.

Followed by the 90s, when I grew up, with some great pop and alternative stuff.

My ranking:

1960s
1990s
1970s
1950s
1930s
1940s
1980s
2000s

1. '90s (Grew up on them)
2. '70s
3. '60s
4. '80s
5. '00s (There isn't a whole lot I like after 2003.)

I will listen to an occasional 50s song.

I won't rank music by the charts. Mainstream music sucks. But due to the interwebs, access to any type of music makes the past 15 years just about the best IMO. But I still think the 90's are overall the best. Due to some great stuff making it mainstream. If this decade keeps going the way it is it may over take the 90's. I think last year was a stellar year for music.

1. 90's
2. 00's
3. 70's
4. 60's
5. 50's
6. 80's (funny thing is this is the decade of my youth and I hate the music)

1) 1980s (I love new wave and synth pop.)
2) 2000s (Love the new wave comeback but hate emo.)
3) 1970s (Disco is alright.. don't particularly like it but don't hate it either.)
4) 1990s (I HATE grunge. Ironically, this is the decade I grew up in.)
5) 1960s (Don't know much about music back then)

1975-1984 was probably my favorite decade, with '79 & '80 tying for first place. And no, I'm not trying to be a d*ck, just measuring decades in a different, more personal way.
