It's pretty shocking to see how many people have voted for the '80s, which was possibly the most musically innovative decade since rock 'n' roll first hit the streets big time in the '50s. Even pop music was innovative in the '80s, regardless of how naff it was.
The current decade, it seems to me, has been a blatant rehashing of the '80s and a continuation of the '90s, with very little innovation at all, so it gets my vote as "the crappest decade of the last fifty-six years".
I would like to add, though, that there were some pretty dire times in the reign of Henry VIII. I mean, you hear one lute, you've heard 'em all, yeah?
EDIT - hmmm, I voted '90s when this poll first opened. Shows how little I knew back then, doesn't it?
