If we define "decade" as ten contiguous calendar years, I think it would be hard to beat 1968-77, which brought us:
1968 structured programming ("Go To Statement Considered Harmful")
1969 UNIX
1970 PDP-11, relational algebra
1972 C
1973 Xerox Alto
1977 VAX-11/780, Apple II
A little later, we had Ethernet in 1980 and the IBM PC in 1981.
