I'm listening to 00's bangers on Radio 1 and the rap and RnB from that decade was just spectacular. Missy Elliot, Alicia Keys, Busta Rhymes, Ja Rule, Jay Z, (early) Beyonce, Sean Paul, Ashanti, Eve, Ludacris, Nas, Kelis, etc. There's nothing like it today.

What was the best decade for your preferred genre?

The 80s, especially the second half, and the early 90s. Def Leppard, Metallica, Guns'n'Roses, the Manics, Nirvana...

The decades of the 70's and 80's were incredible for music . When you consider what they were buying in the sixties , I mean Cilla Black . 😆
My teenage years were the 80's but I do listen to a lot of 70's music .

Don't knock Cilla. In her day she had an amazing voice. But then I'm saying the 60s was the decade or to be more exact the last half of the decade.

I like some music from most decades, but everyone tends to love the music from their teen years don't they? Mine were the 90s, and I loved britpop, chamber pop, a bit of grunge, UK garage, big beat trance, trip hop...
