Let me explain first- I'ma collector.i'm 58 almost 59..through the years i've collected stuff like (the50's)the The Three D's ,Margie Rayburn and The bumps Blackwell Orchestra ,The Ames Brothers,etc..I actually remember the tv show,"December Bride"./I have every single King Crimson LP released beginning with Court Of The Crimson King to their last. I have stuff like Lynn Anderson's first LP on Chart Records to all of Glenn Campbells LP's.and everything in between.I have a huge collection of 70's artists all on vinyl-Same with the 60's -Kris Jensen including.//I have Metallica,Blondie,Garth Brooks and everything inbetween ,..My apartment looks like a CD and record store from one side to the other-If it was popular i probably own it..the exceptions would be rap and hip hop and R&B. ./the 80's in my opinion wins hands down! More versatility-that's not true of today's music at all-in the 80's there were debbie gibson,psychedelc furs,Erasure,Omd,Michael/Janet Jackson,and metallica all being played on one radio station.That versatilty does NOT exist on any playlist at any one radio station now days.Today there's a radio station for each catagory.That existed in the 80's as well,but for the most part, the rock stations that played current pop and rock hits were versatile in what they played.i collect 80's music videos and now have several thousand.I was surprised to find when watching them,that i'd forgotten so many existed and so many i don't remember at all.when compared to today's music and music videos(21st century in general),they're way more awesome.the songs did not all sound the same as so many do now days.a lot of my collection covers the 90's as well and the early to mid 90's had groups that were 80's inspired,like Roxette, Pearl jam,Sixpence none the richer,alanis morissette,Meredith Brooks,etc..so i'm definitely with the 80's as being the best decade in music..and today?xandria,evanescence,tristania,Within Temptation to name a few.
