I disagree. The mid to late 80s was a pretty good time period for music in the US. It was the era of hardcore, thrash and death metal. It saw the rise of great alternative rock (later killed, to an extent, by grunge) and the beginning of the golden age of hip-hop. Electronica was blooming, as was electro-industial, and those weird hybrid forms of roots music (as typified by everyone from Tom Wait to Michelle Shocked) really started to come into their own.
