Which decade do you prefer music wise...the 80s or the 90s?

Question

Give reasons why you prefer the decade and what you don't like about the other decade. Or if you like both equally, that's cool.

Answer 1

I like both but... 90's had Grunge, the greatest form of music since punk. It beats the c**p out of hair metal. In the 90s passion was brought back to rock music and great new artists came about.

Answer 2

90, just cuz it bring back memories of growing up, 80's were hott to, i wish i could go back into time!  

Answer 3

I like both but I'd have to say that 80's is better. I was born in the 90's but my parents listen to a lot of 80's stuff and i like most of it.

Answer 4

I like the 90's better.  There's just more music in that decade that I like.  Smashing Pumpkins being the major one.

Answer 5

I like the 80's better than the 90's, but I prefer the 60's& 70's the most. That was music!

Answer 6

I like both equally - they are my two favourite times for music.

My favourite genres were in their primes in those decades [Gothic Rock and Deathrock in the 80s, Shoegazing in the 90s] so I don't think I could choose between them.

Answer 7

both great, mid-90's to late-90s rocked man

Answer 8

The '90s were way too angst-ridden.  The '80s saw a revolution in music technology, first with analog synths, drum machines, and sequencers, and then digital synthesis, samplers, and computers.  It seems like we haven't really accomplished much since then.

Answer 9

80's because 80% of my favorite bands came from the 80's.

Answer 10

The metal gods are at its peak in the 80's!

Answer 15

The 80's music was great, not only Rock but R&B, Pop and Jazz. They certainly don't have that now, oh wait they do it's called sampling.

Answer 16

90s

Answer 17

90s.

Answer 18

I prefer the 90's. I like the grunge revolution in the early 90's. The 80s was more cheesy.  

Answer 19

the 90's so much good music in every genre.

Answer 20

I equally like both.  Great music, but I like what's come out this decade.
