Denied. There are jewels in the 80s, but it's by far the worst overall decade of music.

neither the best nor the worst.

like every decade, the 80's produced some good stuff as well as a lot of crap.

Worst ever would be the 60's.

NO, just because you do drugs, doesn't mean you can perform songs! Put down the bong and the guitar and go finish your math homework!

Or, hell, maybe the 70's. Damn did that Disco shiznit not hold up well.

Have you not turned on the radio for the last decade? Not to say the 80s were a musical renaissance, but I'll take Rick Springfield or the Cars over nsync, britney spears, 50 cent, or just about anything in the mainstream today

I'll agree about the 70's, but I gotta disagree about the 60's. I love those oldies. The Temptations, the beatles, Jan & Dean, Beach boys, etc. etc. etc.

Worst decade is the current one, followed by the 90's. The 70's was the best. Sure, disco sucked, but you had:
Led Zeppelin
Kiss
Eagles
Stones
Foghat
Steve Miller Band
Black Sabbath
I could go on and on and on.
The 80's was pretty good, lots of variety: heavy metal, pop, start of Rap (if you like that cr@p)

GTA:VC got me back into listening to 80's music (listening to Safety Dance right now), but I still contend the overall music scene was horrid.

I am not a fan of today's mainstream either, I just reserve a solid distaste for the 80's, and country. Sorry.

you're comparing the best to the worst. a more apt comparison to Britney Spears and NSync would be New Kids on the Block, Huey Lewis, Falco, or Toto.

and don't forget about the hair band explosion of the late 80's.

nailed it right on the head. Todays music is far and away the worst.

I like 70s disco, rock, funk, folk, you name it. The 70s was the best imho.

But when talking about an entire decade of music - we are looking at what was popular...I would prefer the bands who dominated the pop charts in the 80s over those today....and for the record, Huey Lewis kicks arse - and to say Rick Springfield is somehow musical genius and not comperable to todays pop is way off IMO.

There are plenty of bands today that I think are making great music, but they don't qualify as having great impact on this decade.
