You obviously weren't listening to the right music in the 90sThe 70's was the best decade ever; no contest! I guess it depends when you were born. I was born in 1962, so "came of age" in the 70's and that was when my taste in music, clothes, girls, cars, and even bikes was formed. I would imagine that someone born in 1992 would feel the same about the noughties - a decade which passed me by as one of the blandest, non descript, forgettable ever. Come to think of it, so was the 90's - a decade of drivel when it came to music especially.

The 70's where just so wrong in everything . It amazes me the damage they did to gorgeous Victorian and Edwardian buildings just to make them look really shite .
