People don't really remember a lot from it, but the '20s (in my opinion) were the absolute best time for music (shortly followed by the folk movements in the '60s)

It's the Twenties and there's Prohibition. You take a taxi into the booming New York City late on a Friday night. You walk into the slums and hear the faint rhythyms of music. As you draw closer, you find it a bustling square centered around a lit night club. You take a step into the smokey air. How beautiful and fresh the birth of Jazz and Blues soothes your eardrums, I cannot tell.

So, the birth of Jazz in the '20s, and the Folk movements in the '60s. Not the Beatles crap, but the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, and the Simon and Garfunkel..can't beat it!!

Charlie and the Kings of Swing! Here come's Charlie noooowww~

[Edit] I'm partial to the era of the mid-eighties to ninety-two. New wave music came in... and rap was actually good.

My favourite is 60s, 70s, and 80s. If I had to choose one to listen to for the rest of my life, I would choose 80s. :)

Eighties metal/hard rock. The Broadway musicals were also pretty good (I have bizarre tastes, I know).

Yes, Peguy, you're correct. I was thinking mostly of Vivaldi and Albinoni in the 1700s as the best music of the period.

I am not that fond of Handel, Bach is okay but just doesn't strike the same chord within me as Vivaldi or Albinoni.

I have a very hard time comparing the music of the past 100 years to the music before then. For that matter, I have a hard time comparing the music of the past 50 years to the music in the 50 years before that. So, I dunno.
My favorite recent-ish decade, music-wise, at the moment, is the seventies, because of the progressive rock, punk rock and hard rock. But it's hard to decide on one particular time that was the BEST.
Unrelated twentieth century music I like: Messiaen. OMG, "Dieu Parmi Nous" is fantastic.

Excellent pun :) I really like Bach, if mostly for the technical aspects. (His fugues (sp?) are amazing.)
