I'd class the 80s as the most appalling decade for music during my lifetime (which began in the 50s), with hardly anything worthy of note and very little in the way of 'scene-changing' music.

I loved the music of the 60s and 70s but detested much of what followed it in the 80s and early 90s. The new millennium though saw a great deal more originality coming through , with the emergence of wonderfully talented singer-songwriters, such as Amy Winehouse, with that trend being carried on into the current decade by the likes of George Ezra, et al.

All of the above assumes that by 'popular' music you mean the stuff churned out almost exclusively by British and American pop/rock/indie/etc singers. Most of the time I'd rather be listening to (generally) far better musicians from around the world, such as Buena Vista Social Club, Café Tacvba, Reinhard Mey, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, The Lumineers, Ondřej Havelka, Joja Wendt, The Tractors or Milladoiro.

70s for me. There were so many genres of music in that decade. Soul, motown, glam rock, glitter rock, prog rock, disco, funk, pop, easy listening, reggae, punk, new wave and the beginning of the New Romantics. The best party music was in that decade as well

I like music from all eras, but the context of the original remark related to DJing, however I like old Blues and Jazz, Swing, dislike most of the schmaltzy 50'ds and 60's with some stupendous exceptions, like 1970's Prog Rock ( my dirty secret), lots of the Punk Poets at the end of the 70's, some great 80's stuff ( some awful stuff too, 1990's was just weird, (what were you all doing?) and 2000's onwards is frankly for the most part the pits.

60s and 70s for me. By a long way.

1800's for me when Verdi and Puccini were composing their wonderful operas which are still being performed today. Guess I'm on my own here!
But still rate Queen, Amy Winehouse, Eric Clapton and have very sweet memories of I'm not in Love (10cc??). Oh and trad jazz brings back memories of Old Compton Street.
