Was the 80's the best decade for music and movies?

Beethoven is that you?Music-wise I think the 17th & 18th centuries were the best
Jurassic Park was 1993 and I think was probably the last of the great 80's era for movies.
Yup, I know 1993 isn't in the 80's but I think you get what I mean.

My view is the complete opposite, the initial transition from analog to digital recording techniques is why so much 80s music (early-mid 80s in particular) sounds cold and lifeless relative to the records from the 70s etc. It's long been one of the most common criticisms of 80s music. That said some people love that sound, it's kind of a hallmark of 80s music. Play a Led zep record, then a Depeche Mode record... one sounds natural, warm and fuzzy, the other sounds cold, lifeless and clinical (production wise, forget the actual songwriting).

Yeah...
90s music just for starters includes the rise of electronic dance music and the rave scene. You've got the britpop and indy and rock stuff. Grunge scene, euro dance and most of all... Trance music peaked arguably around 1999.
Last TOTP on this evening was 1978, very good actually. Black Sabbath - Never Say Die, amongst some others, I was pointing out to my 6 year old son that it was Ozzy Osbourne (who he is familiar with, at least the more modern version) and he didn't believe me!
I guess it's still around that era.

80s had money flowing and talented people who could actually do music so films music was top notch. 90s was amazing fueled by drugs and creativity which also lead to great movies and music. now mostly cgi no one wants to risk a budget so remakes of everything...some of it could be getting older but mostly its just people arent as skilled musically wise with instruments or the will to do it same with films.so everything is generated garbage.
