What's the best decade in music?

IMO it's the 60s. 70s is a bit deeper, but the 60s has more of my absolute favorites.

Is Royals by Lorde 2013 or 2012? It was included in The Love Club EP in 2012.

Edit: I see it was self-released in 2012 and commercially released in 2013. So I guess not an error.
