through 80s
seriously?
what about 80’s music will live forever? culturally more about silly comedy movies than any music. no lasting musical culture came from those years....compared to the 50’s, 60’s or 70’s.
’Thriller’ and ’M-TV’ were the high points......which is relatively a pretty low bar for greatness.
apologies if these were your high school years and so it’s personal. my kids were in H.S. in the 80’s and early 90’s and they preferred my 60’s and 70’s rock to their contemporary 80’s music.
they did like Grunge and Nirvana, a local Seattle band,. but that was 90’s.
