I disagree with the line of thought that music isn't effective unless it has some sort of real meaning to it. To me, good music makes you feel something. If I wanted something that HAD to have meaning to be effective, I'd sit down and read a textbook. Music is definitely about emotion.

And of course, every decade has certain music that is fantastic and other music that is horrific.

I think the overall best decade for music would be the 70s or 80s, because I like pretty much all the big genres that came out of them: disco, classic rock, and new wave. Of course, the 90s get a special mention just because that was the music of my childhood (even though a lot of it is REALLY shitty in retrospect).

The worst decade for music is definitely the 00s, at least to me. I mean, there are some good songs, but 90% of the music produced is someone ripping-off either Beyonce, Fall Out Boy, or 50 Cent. And I know that tons of people love that music, and that's cool, but it does absolutely nothing for me. I listen to it and I just hear someone over-vocalizing or whining or shouting, and I don't feel anything but my brains leaking out my ears.
