Well in fairness I'm at a disadvantage to a lot of you on this one - I'm not a world authority on exactly what happened in all of the decades so am not in a position to say which one was the best and why and i'm also not qualified to say that something is **** when it's actually a subjective thing and therefore purely down to opinion. I can only really go on personal experience and I liked the 80s and thought there was some good stuff produced.
I track the decades of the 20thC from the 60s onwards based on Bowie. 60s = ****e 70s = brilliant 80s = all about the money 90s = patchy but got it's musical respect back
I don't like sc-fi at all. One could hardly call the original Star Trek sci-fi FFS It was just earth morals (or lack of them) on alien cardboard planets.
Come on I mean, Banarama, Modern Romance, The Smiths, Jason Donovan, U2, Echo and The Bunnymen, Europe, The Police, Frankie Sucks Off Hollywood, the list is endless.
