80s greatest decade ?
I was born in 1982 so I don't think I qualify to answer since most small kids enjoy that time of life. liked the 90s but I assume most people in their teen years look at those fondly for the most part. I always hear folks that were teens/young adults in the 80s talk about the greatness of that decade so maybe they have that same viewpoint I did of the 90s. Maybe some of you that were late 20s and older in the 80s can answer. Were the 80s the greatest decade ?

As an MSU fan ... not so much except in baseball.
Overall ... without a doubt IMO. Best pro sports (Joe cool, Magic/Bird), best music (MTV, hair bands, heavy metal), partying was great, cost of living was low, education was affordable, and I can probably think of 2 or 3 other things. Good times.

I am. I really like me some good lead guitar. There are some other good decades but I'm partial to 80's. 60's & 70's were good. 90's pretty decent. What's your fav decade?

The 80?s was by FAR the best music. Even my kids in their 20?s say they are jealous of the music we had in the 80?s.

No question music is garbage now. I quit listening to current music shortly after I graduated college in 2005.

Agree ... mid 70's is when it probably all kinda started and exploded in early to mid 80's before tapering off toward the end. Great MTV videos back then.

I grew up in the 80's and it was an ok time for music some good, some great and a lot that was bad. Best time of rock n roll in my opinion was from '67 - '82. More influential bands and one hit wonders than any era before or since. Talking pop, disco and harder rock too.

Dead on. The best 10 year period of music IMO was from 75 to 85. I stand by that. You had everything from Fleetwood Mac Rumors to the Eagles Hotel California to the first Boston album to Journey Escape and every other kind of great music during that 10 year window.

I was fortunate enough to see ZZ Top and Skynyrd in Liberty Bowl Stadium in Memphis 1976.
That same year you also had Frampton Comes Alive. Do You Feel Like I Do

GNR was hair metal in the 80's, but had a harder edge, kinda like Motley Crue, but both different. Appetite was, and still is, one of the greatest rock records of all time. GNR was the only hair band I can think of that emerged in the late 80s and survived the end of the big hair era and continued with wide popularity into the 90s with Illusions 1&2.

Your opinion to music is formed when you were coming of age.

It's impossible to pick which decade is best for music; especially if you're into different genres.
Best decade for film, though?...that's easy, the '70s and its not close.
