1980s has the best in heavy metal. Liege Lord, Cirith Ungol, Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, the list goes on.
The Nineties was certainly a good decade for alt rock.A lot of '90s alternative (Counting Crows, Goo Goo Dolls, the Cranberries, No Doubt, Alanis, etc.) actually had good storylines, while new alternative is mostly noise.
