Musical Decades

We all have a favorite when it comes to just about everything—favorite food, favorite movie, favorite place, favorite weekend activity. This is also the case with musical preferences. Narrowing it down to your favorite song can be tricky so instead, we want you to share what you would do in the following hypothetical scenario.

If you could only listen to music from one particular decade, which one would it be? Are you more of an 80s fan? Or were you all about the early 2000s? Make a case for why this era tops all others. Share a few examples of some of the songs that make this decade particularly iconic and why you think the bangers are worth playing on repeat. Feel free to tell us if this decade means something special to you, if there is an emotional reason behind your pick, or if you just really love how the music makes you feel whenever it comes on. Enter the Musical Decades Challenge and hit play!
