To me the 80s were the worst decade in the history of recorded music!
Not initially... the early 80s brought out a second British invasion which provided a lot more diversity on air than the late 70s.
I would agree as the 80s wore on and the music evolved into more drum machines and keyboards, sampling, rap, dance and hair band rock, the music got progressively worse.
But the same could be said of the disco era of the late 70s -and I like a lot of disco.
