Which decade do you feel has been the most influential in terms of music and arts?

In the arts, i think we are still seeing the impact from people like Marcel Duchamp in the mid 20th Century – he really was bold. But then you have also have the 70s and 80s New York scene with Basquiat and of course Warhol, that still ripples throughout the art scene today, certainly in London…
