Just to name a few more that made it big in the 80's and are very talented musicians. I really enjoy Boston, Journey, Styx, Kansas, Billy Joel, etc. that came of age in the late 70's but also still produced a lot in the 80's.

No 80's, and people voted for the 90's?

It's going to be tough to beat the 90's simply due to volume and variety

Blonde Readhead is, without a doubt, the worst live show I've ever seen.

Supercoug

I've never seen them live. When did you see them?

DB Cooper

Probably '95. They opened for Fugazi.

Yeah, their early stuff was a bit rough around the edges. They've refined their

Of those bands, Radiohead is the only one people will remember 20 years from now

It doesn't bother me that the majority of people won't remember them.

Was 80's left off intentionally?

Maybe SC knew which decade would win, and thus just left it off the list?

Everything is a derivative on the 70s.

80's and it isn't close

Guns and Roses, Scorpions, even Metallica debuted in the 80s.

Bert609

I thought I would highlight a few, it by no means is a comprehensive list

You're way off on Scorpions. They debuted in the 60s.

And Michael Jackson for heaven's sake. 80's all the way.

Madonna, Men at Work, Whitney Houston, Prince, Springsteen and so on and on...

Literally all of those groups were making music in the 90's, so using your logic you should think 90's>>>80's

go back and read my post

BigYfan

5/24/16 12:22pm

Agreed. And since they all carried over to the 90's, the same argument would apply to the 90's, right?

byuTX

They contributed to an overall piss poor decade of music

90's-"Friends in Low Places", "Indian Outlaw", Metallica's Black Album, "I'd Do
