who else thinks the 80s was/is the best time period for muzik

i do so much influences

The only memorable music from the 80's for me is trash.

Was a good year for Metal, so yes.

For my kind of music, I'd say the ninties to this decade is the best period.

no time was the best time for "muzik".

deffinately. it was when music diverged into such a huge multitude of genres.

In the 20th century? Sure, I can agree to that.

Let's bring back hair metal.

There is no "best" time period for music.

Not me. I think it had some good hits but no it wasn't the best time period for music, not even close.

No, too many synthesisers.

80s metal hair bands that looked like women ftw.

Yes the 80's were great just for the alternative....

Best song from the 80's:

Van Halen - Hot for Teacher

King Crimson rocked then, and there was Talking Heads!

Those two are enough of a reason for my to say 80's rocked... but I wouldn't say it's the best time. For me it would be the 70's (plus 69') and the 00's.

It is too hard to pick a best period (but I can say since 2000, music has sucked).

But as far as "hype" and "energy" go, the 80's win. Nothing could touch it. People "blew up" like no one can ever do these days (and sold amounts of cd's that can't really be beat).

Moments like Michael Jackson first doing the Moonwalk at the Motown 25th anniversary special and EVRYONE talking about it the next day.

Prince performing at the Grammy's and the whole audience (including the other stars) screaming like 12 year old schoolgirls.

The arrival of Whitney and Janet. Don't even have to say their last names and you know who I mean.

Bruce Springsteen had a great decade. Great albums (and Grammy wins) by artists that had been around a while in groups but went solo, like Phil Collins, Steve Winwood, etc.

The arrival of Madonna. Then Cyndi Lauper, who fell of a while but is still here. The arrival of Babyface (who went on to write or produce much of what was good in the 90's).

Today, artists (and the music they create) are throw-away. None is remebered for more than a few albums, and most are not significantly influencing the next generation; At least not musically.

Depends. 80s were great for heavy, glam, and thrash metal, not much else. 70s were much better for classic rock. 90s were better for extreme metal, etc. etc.

No, too many synthesisers.

what's wrong with that?

yes. that plus the New Wave scene. that really did a lot for modern rock and pop music.

I choose between 1770 and 1827, no real reason though.Brutal_Elitegs

Romanticism, perhaps?
