I think the majority on here think these are the two best decades for music.
If you compare top charting hits like in these YouTube compilation videos, the 80's is gonna wipe the floor with the 90's.
If you look at albums, and the broader work of the most acclaimed artists, not necessarily the top charting singles, the 90's trounces the 80's.
Yep . . . or just go with say, 85-95.Both?
80s had its share of cheese and cookie cutter acts just like the 90.
The 90's hands down. Was just the golden age for metal.

I enjoy a melange of both decades, 80's had a great run of of bubblegum pop, the rise of hip hop and some solid RnB offerings plus Michael Jackson and Prince
90's had the emergence of West Coast gangsta rap and Bay Area Mobb Music, an amazing run of RnB acts and a nice selection of radio hip hop hits plus Prince
This.
Prime Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Motley Crue, AC/DC... FFS this goes to the 80's on metal alone. And that's without even considering prime Michael Jackson, Madonna, Oingo Boingo, Tears for Fears, Van Halen...
I've told numerous friends of mine that even in the era of Tik Tok and YouTube no one (and I stand by this) will ever be as famous as Michael Jackson. Before internet there were people in the smallest villages around the world who knew who Michael Jackson was.
