I personally think it is the 60's but of course you'll remember the generation that changed music the most for "you", so I understand a lot of the 90's votes.
A few of the posters in the thread so far might do well to re-read the topic. This isn't about best generation of music. So arguing that one band from one generation was better than one from another is pointless towards the topic unless you're talking about the way they "changed" music.
Everyone has their own personal preference so there isn't a wrong answer as long as you state your case.

I picked the 60's before I even read the thread.
I think if you take a look through history in the years available you'll see the most famous bands, and the most famous different kinds of bands from the 60's. Most importantly you'll see the foundations laid for rock and roll (which bands today are still trying to recreate .. miserably I might add)

Whats with all the Nirvana Nut-hugging...Everyone talks about them i dont even think their the best 90's band.STP,Alice in Chains,Pearl Jam and Soundgarden i think are all better bands than Nirvana.Kurt just happened to be the grunge rock posterboy..I like the Foo Fighters 1,000 times more than Nirvana.
I voted the 80's cause i was born in the 80's and the majority of bands i listen to were somewhere around in the 80's Sublime,NoFX,Descendents,GNR, Mostly 80's Punk,Ska,Metal, some bands are still making records till this day...
But in reality i cant argue the 60's love,peace,hippy-ness,and Acid..Although i dont like hippies.

The Beatles were pioneers. also if you are mentioning the 90's TOOL and Rage Against the Machine have to be mentioned. Both > Nirvana. Grunge was a good time for music but The Melvins paved the way for most of those bands.

Each decade has played some influential role in shaping a particular genre or sub-section of music, but I don't think one stands out alone
If one asked a similar question about science fiction one person might say Star Wars changed sci-fi. Indeed Star Wars changed sci-fi MOVIES and POP CULTURE, but I'd argue its impact on Sci-Fi as a whole doesn't even compare to Asimov's.
Music is much more diverse than the example I gave. To put it into the context of my example, it would be like saying which era of storytelling has been the most influential? I don't think there is an answer for that and I don't think a single generation of music can be credited "changing music the most". Each era had it's own effects on specific genres of music as well as culture as a whole.
Motown had a huge influence on hiphop, R&B and some pop, but can any one take away the impact Jazz, which pre-dates mowtown, has had on music, culture and dancing? The advent of rock music is another one. Heck you could go all the way bakc to Baroque or European classical.
Each era has played significant parts in changing certain sub-sections and/or genres of music, but I don't think any single one sticks out over the others.

Tthe 60s (and the 80s being a close 2nd) Without the changes in the 60s many of your favorite bands wouldnt have the privilages that there are today (even tho it was inevitable) for example Black Sabbath looked up to The Doors and plenty of others in the 60s and Black Sabbath is one of the cornerstones of Metal is not the 1st.

Just watch Forrest Gump. Every single person on here knows every song on that movie. Whether it's "Sweet Home Alabama," "Hound Dog," "Respect," or "Turn Turn Turn." The 60s rock.

Most influential has to be 60's rock... the British invasion and the begging of rock and roll... It's easy for some people to say 80's or 90's... but IMO those are all eras and bands that built off of what was started during the 60's...
