Well I like the 60s and 70s now for the "good ol days" factor, but maybe not the best music by any standard. I voted 70s or whatever decade the good classic rock was... like Eagles and CCR, Doors, etc. Hope I guessed right.

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
Tough to choose! My mom's 40's Big Band music was the background of my childhood. That was the music I learned to dance to, and I still love Glenn Miller, Les Paul & Mary Ford, Benny Goodman...
The 70's music is such a mix of all that came before! 10 years of hard rock, soft rock, pop, bluegrass, country, big band (remember Stray Cats?) And I loved disco too (I loved the night life, I loved to boogie!) Dance, dance, dance, all night long!

That will certainly skew things!
I will admit, a lot of today's music doesn't do much for me.
I listen every day to Mix100, Alice 105.9, 95.7, or 96.1 (I never wanted to be the Mom who listened to her "oldies" on radio stations that didn't play them much anymore, or had to play her CD collection over and over, or be completely out of touch with what my kids listened to so I've always listened to current stuff and downloaded just my faves), and my overall impression is that the creativity seemed to have peaked in the 60s/70s/80s. So yeah, there is a lot less that is really good out today, although there are always exceptions. Just not the plethora of yesteryear.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I listen more on mood. If I feel like blues or jazz, I try to listen to what makes me feel good and fits my mood. , era is irrelevant. Same thing with rock or even classical and country.I think we all relate better to what we listened to in our teens.
