I would agree, except that I completely disagree.

I'm sure you do.
I really really really dislike the eighties.
Well, the music that is.

Even if you don't like the 80s you have to admit it was better than the 90s.

I would say there's no decade of music that I dislike, but many of my favorite bands are from the 80s.

Hmmm, I don't think I have much albums from bands that are from the eighties. I think you can count them on one hand.

Well music perhaps isn't just about albums, it's about singles as well. Maybe American music wasn't as great as in the 70s and 60s but there was still some good stuff and certainly other places didn't slow down at all in the 80s.

I'm not in America. And... well... I don't think so

Well I mentioned America as some may wish to come to it from that perspective because of the strong influence of music from there in the past (whatever nationality someone might be).

Just to add to the above - many of my favorite bands from the 80s are American.

I used to be a devout proponent of the 80s, saying it was my favourite decade. Nowadays, I'm less inclined to choose a "favourite" decade - the more music you're exposed to, the more you realize that every decade (since the 50s at least) has a plethora of excellent stuff. It's hard to pick a favourite.
