Best music decade POLL

In 1979, Bob Seger sang “Today’s music ain’t got the same soul, I like that old time rock and roll.” Those words may hold true today, as it seems Americans largely agree that the “old time” music is better than anything new.

YouGov polled more than 17,000 Americans about which time period they believe had the best music. Among US adults overall, the 1970s and 1980s prove to be the best decades for music, with 21% and 22% of the vote, respectively. Slightly fewer point to the 1960s (14%) or the 1990s (14%) as standout music decades, while even fewer choose the 2000s (6%) or the 1950s or earlier (6%). With apologies to the decade’s top artists like Drake, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars, just 3% of Americans believe that the 2010s had the best music of any decade.
