Each decade sucked, sometimes.

I'll just concentrate on music.

50's - Dead teenager stuff.

60's - Bubble gum music. (UGH!)

70's - Soft rock over-sentimentalism. (Barf)

80's - Bland MTV "heavy rotation" stuff. (urp)

90's - "Gangsta (c)rap." Cuss cuss cuss gonna shoot a cop cuss cuss cuss gonna smoke some crack cuss cuss cuss gonna bang my ho cuss cuss cuss cuss... (smashes CD player)

2000's - Autotune...

However, if you had mentioned Pat Boone, Tiny Tim, and yes... Paul Anka, you wouldn't have gotten an argument from me...

I know that's the obvious one, but it's actually a very well-crafted song.
Maybe it's because I was 6 years old in 1969, but I still think that's a fine song!

and the '60s and '70s music will always be my favorites. After the '80s, all the music went downhill.
