Don't Stop 'Til bạn Get Enough, the first Michael Jackson song, came out in 1979. It started a chain of outstanding songs that âm nhạc continues to release to the present day.

I thought it would be interesting to look at each of the four decades that have passed since Don't Stop 'Til bạn Get Enough came out in 1979, and discuss which could be truly described as Music's Golden Decade.

Note: the songs are grouped into the decade in which they were first released in the same năm that their albums came out like I Want It That Way released in 1999 the same năm Backstreet Boys’s Millennium came out.

The Question: What is Disney's Golden Decade since the moment Don't Stop 'Til bạn Get Enough came out 1979?

Which if these four decades would bạn consider to have the greatest library? This is entirely your opinion, but if bạn can elaborate as to why then that would be appreciated. I find it a challenging question, as each decade contains songs that are often described as being amongst the greatest ever.

After choosing the Golden Decade, do bạn have Silver and Bronze? Do bạn have the 4th Decade as your Least Favorite?

Do bạn find it an easy hoặc challenging choice?

Note: This danh sách for thêm mainstream music. This is not intended for được ưa chuộng âm nhạc like country music. So no country âm nhạc like Tim McGraw is allowed. Only mainstream âm nhạc includibg crossovers like Carrie Underwood. Also, stay away from Miley Cyrus songs like Party in The USA and Justin Bieber songs like Boyfriend because Miley Cyrus songs like We Can’t Stop and Justin Bieber songs like Beauty And A Beat along with other stupid songs like Gangnam Style will haunt bạn nightmares.
