It also depends on what you like. That would determine the better decade of music for you but not everyone. For instance, I love the thrash, speed, ****in fast as hell metal and the 80s was when the first ones that kept re-defining the line at which how fast metal could get started.
Hair bands hurt how good the 80s were because the 80s were good... not the hairband ****. If you're a fan of heavy metal, I HIGHLY recommend getting this book "Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal". It's a real great book but most importantly, they have a "Top 10" list of diff. types of metal.. speed, thrash, power, death, black, prog. It starts with Black Sabbath (Naturally!! :cool: ) and goes till mid 90s or so. But if you don't buy it, at least check out the top 10 lists because they list the best CDs to get and 99% of them are not "hair bands" so don't lump them into the 80s to make the 80s suck because they didn't. At least that's my opinion. :p
The best music out is not on the radio or MTV!!!
