This thread has been going about this all wrong. This is the best decade for rock music, because we have access to the maximum amount of it. Any individual listening to or creating rock music has access to all rock music created up to this point and may take full advantage of that access to fulfill any subjective metric of quality. The worst decade for rock music would be the first decade rock music existed, because the people in that decade had access to the least amount of rock music since its inception. Unless we're thinking fourth-dimensionally, then the decade right before the heat death of the universe is probably the best decade for rock, but we can't get sidetracked with hypotheticals and I doubt this thread will last that long. So's let's stipulate that given a linear progression of time and the question being evaluated in the current time, the current decade is always the best decade for rock music, as the current quantity of rock music available is always the maximum available and contains all metrics of subjective quality established in previous decades. If you wish to evaluate any given decade in rock music by a subjective qualification and find its peak to be in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80', 90's or 2000's, we have access to that all the music created in those decades now. Which gives anyone wishing to utilize the music meeting those subjective qualifications, for personal auditory consumption or influence in creating (or recreating) a specific artistic ideal, maximum resources and access. In the present, the Venn diagram of all types and qualities of rock music is a single circle, encompassing all variables, which only serves to divide and multiply as you work backwards towards the origin point.
