Which do you like more?
I like the 80's more. The 90's had Soundgarden and Kyuss, but the 80's had Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Pixies, the Traveling Wilburys, Metallica, and REM. :)
-
You mean musically right?
It's a tough one, but I'll go with the 90s: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, Smashin Pumpkins,Him, Silverchair, ... then some 80s band did really well in the 90s: Guns N Roses with the Use Your Illusion albums, Metallica with the black album, AC/DC's Razors Edge. Aerosmith put out some good power ballads too.
And then we have the punk revival with Green Day, The Offspring, Rancid, Pennywise and others...
It was a good decade for Beatles fans too: the Anthology documentary came out along with the albums and that encouraged the young people to listen them again (that's how I got into them, by the anthology!
-
I hate almost all bands you named. :o
-
Heh. Well, I grew up in the nineties, and I guess I enjoyed the music that was playing in the background of my childhood years. Now I mostly listen to older stuff, but the 80s is the decade I visit less than any other. The 80s always struck me as a waste of time, kinda.
But then I only experienced (not even that) two-three years of the 80s, so what do I know?
-
The 90's by far. We had Oasis!
-
The 80's. I pretty much quit listening to music in the 90's because I didnt like any of it.
-
The 90's was where we sat around all day and talked about the 80's.......but that sure beats living through it.
-
dont like either went with 80s
-
80s were terrible...the only good bands were duran duran and a flock of seagulls....and thats pushing it
-
The 90's got my vote i mean one word Oasis! Even the Threetles came back to record new tunes and released the Anthologies Come On People
-
Amen to that one! Rocking out the Definitely Maybe right now. Can't wait for the DVD release.
-
Well I grew up in the nineties. I was exposed mostly to (gag) The Spice Girls and (double gag) S Club 7, but as I got older i got to appreciate some great 90's bands like Nirvana, No Doubt, and Green Day.
-
As an old fart (and proud of it :) ) I think the world started to go to hell by 1985.
So I'm picking the early 1980s -- some great music there, especially 1983.
-
90's have teh 0wnage.
Err...I mean,I vote 90's.
-
Musically, it looks like the 80's are a vast wasteland, but if you look a littler harder you'll find some great stuff. The 90's on the other hand had grunge. That's about it. Grunge, rap and dance music. Much like now. So I don't know which is better. I'll say neither. How 'bout the 70's? ;D
-
I was a Goth in the Eighties... seriously! LOL :)
-
How appropriate!
-
Did you look like the dude in the Cure? ;D Actually, I didn't think there was Goth in the 80's. I thought that was the 90's! I was a metal head myself! Complete opposite of Goth!
-
Oh yes - there definitely were Goths in the Eighties! ;D
BUT, we enjoyed our music... REALLY enjoyed it. In those days it was more a fashion statement than a life-style!! In my day it was just black clothes and pointy Beatle-boots... and loads of synth music!
-
how can you call yourself a goth with no makeup? Seems like they all paint their faces with black eye-liner
-
Yeah, I remember them clearly, but we didn't call them Goth. The music was considered Alternative at the time, I think. I can't remember what we called them! New Wave? I first remember the term Goth getting popular after Columbine.

I hate labels, like Goth or Punk (I'm aware that it's a type of music, but it's really veered far from what it used to be).

the 80s rocked kids................
