NoLonger, you probably like the 2000s because you were 13 in that decade. The music you hear at that age imprints for life.
Which is why I'll always have a soft spot for Hanson. But I chose my decades based on Queen and the Beatles, for the varied awesomeness.
Every decade has its musical geniuses. I would've chosen 1920s too, had it been on there. Some hits from the jazz age and tin pan alley were recycled as later hits: "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", "Ain't She Sweet", "It Had To Be You".

It's called the Reminiscence Bump. The experiences (music/movies/others) you have from the ages of 13 to 25 will be the fondest in your memory... Looks like I learned something in college after all!

I know, and the extremely dense sound that comes from a lot of the bands I listen to has imprinted on me.
It's not like I'm shallow, but because the musical style is so vastly different from anything you hear from these decades (besides things like Pink Floyd) I have a hard time really appreciating the older stuff.

Shite, running out of time to imprint, then the window closes and I become old and crotchety Thanks !!

I'm disappointed in everyone here. The 90s were when NSync debuted their first album and introduced us all to Justin Timberlake. How could you all forget that?
Well personally, the bands and genres I really enjoy only started to come together in the late 80's and early 90's. When ska, punk, and grunge still actually existed.
Speaking objectively, I'd probably go with the 60's or maybe the 70's. Good music was being put out all the time in every genre back then.
I don't think my brain has closed. But I've always made a conscious effort to try and view things objectively. Maybe that helps? I don't think I like anything from when I was 13-25 that wasn't actually good. I can look at a lot of the things I did like before and I now think most of it is just ok, or annoying. I can't enjoy listening to Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains anymore. I only listen to Metallica very rarely. I found Kishidan after I was 25 and like it. I started listening to Queen, The Beetles, and Pink Floyd all in that age range and I still like them, but I don't think that's nostalgia.
I can't answer this poll. I'm musically disinclined and hate all music. Ever. Just subtract 1 from every category to count my music hate in.
Or, y'know, don't do that because that was a lie. Really, I can't answer this because I'd just end up doing as Adam did and checking them all. Every decade has music that quite good and every decade has some real stinkers.
I can listen to old music from video games of the 1990's and 2000's and really enjoy the hell out of it, but I'm not prepared to claim victory for 1990's and 2000's just because of it.

I'd say the fifties. Golden era of jazz
I dunno, American music lately has been shifting towards club music, which is really fun to blare in your car straight from the radio. I like it.
Also I don't actually listen to much music or pay attention to the year it was made in.

I'm right there with you buddy! (25 in November)
Is that why I love Miss Congeniality 2?
For shame!

And Hangman's Curse...
