Should've mentioned those in OP cause that's the only defense that decade has
80s the most grooviest era to exist
Ngl, you put a gun to my head and I couldn’t name an album that came out before 1900
i couldn't name an album that came out before 1950
I ain’t gonna lie I might listen to 99 Red Balloons before most songs that came out in the 50s and 60s

80s was a great decade for r&b and had a lot of ground breaking hip hop. I can see if you only listen to rap or pop music thinking it’s lacking though.
Also all those albums went at least gold/platinum at the minimum I believe. So it’s not like I listed a bunch of irrelevant dusty dudes who had no impact

Everything from funk , indie , industrial,punk / post-punk , metal, R&B, pop , new wave , jazz was wavy in the 80s you’re off the sherm
one of the best eras for metal
The 80s gave us songs from the big chair by tears for fears so ima have to disagree my friend
