1980's and 1990's for me, with a bit of 70's thrown in as most bands started around 1975-1977ish....
In the late 70's and early 80's, there were all the great new wave bands. The Cars kicked off about 4-5 really killer New Wave albums, Loverboy put up their best stuff, Journey Had Perry singing and did not become totally ballad-ized, Night Ranger were sort of a pre-Hair Metal/New Wave hybrid, STYX from the early 70's before they went Music Time on us. ZZ Top and Heart with Blues and Folk roots that sounded cool respectively.
In the 80's, all the great diverse metal came from there - Metallica, Dokken, Iron Maiden, RATT, Van-Halen, Whitesnake, Megadeth, Slayer, Def Leppard, Motorhead (well, 70's too for them), Lee Aaron, Girlschool, Lita Ford, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rainbow, The Scorpions, Skid Row, Bon Jovi, Pantera in their glam phase, and the list goes on and on and on, it's Heaven and Heck....
THen the 90's came, there was all this great indie and underground stuff coming to the top like - My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, The Gin Blossoms, Bush before they went Techno, Soundgarden, No Doubt, The Red Hot Chili-Peppers, R.E.M. (who were also around and kicking pretty hard in the late 80's).
I think I've explained myself pretty well.
