I was born in 1999...so I don't think I can answer that question. :P I think the overall quality of pop music went downhill in the Late 90s...

Frankly, all of my favorite years for music in my lifetime were in the 2000s and early 2010s (anything pre-2012). So it's rather self-explanatory if you know about my interests for a long time.

Can I combine 2009 and 2010 into one big year and call it the best? It was phenomenal.

2011 was really fun too, but for different reasons, so I wouldn't combine it with 2009/2010.

Between 2000 (radio jingle from the Philippines that I liked, but which I don't remember well) and 2013 (when rock music died in the mainstream and pop music started sounding bland. )

2009, 2010, and 2014. (no particular order) I criticized 2015 for awhile but looking back now the 2nd half of that year wasn't bad at all. It was a good stretch.

If there's one thing we can agree on, it's that 2018 was a really decent year for music. It was a big year for some fresh faces along with some unique huge hits.

The last few months of 2018 (along with the first two months of 2019) were fairly mediocre sadly enough, but I consider the February to July stretch as a truly stunning period of releases and hits and one of my favorite periods in the 2010s. Highlights of the year include "Never Be the Same", "All the Stars", "In My Blood", "Chun Li", "Stir Fry", "Nice for What", "Sicko Mode", "No Tears Left to Cry", "One Kiss" and so on.
