For the record, I agree, music was very very good in the late 80s, but since then it has gone downhill like a rock, and there is almost no music at all anymore, just cookie-cutter custom-fitted noise designed for maximum profit by the industry. By the way, I was 50 in the late 80's, so this is not a nostalgia-driven observation.

I think black music in particular was at its best in the 80s.

Besides i could only take so much Captain and Tennille from the 70's

I also love the other happy-go-lucky decade as that was the ''Roaring Twenties'' (1920's)
The only really good thing that existed in the 70s is progressive rock!

I like progressive rock, but I can't go along with that statement.

There was tons of great music in the '70s.

Neil Young
Talking Heads
Television
Devo
Miles Davis's amazing electric period
Tony Williams Lifetime
Allman Brothers
Al Green
Faces
The Who
Marvin Gaye
David Bowie
Led Zeppelin
Aerosmith
T Rex
Stooges
Modern Lovers
Gang of Four
I could spend all day on this.
