There was more talent in Bon Jovi than the entire Seattle grunge scene. They just looked better as well.

Hell yes...80's metal (and a fair amount of pop) was the best. I was only ages 4-14 in the 80's, but i can unequivocally say it was the best decade of the last 50 years by a pretty fair amount.

Crue, Priest, Scorpions, Dokken, old Metallica, even Duran Duran were all great. I always thought what followed in the 90's pailed in comparison. You know when it became uncool to actually be good at your instrument and the guy (or gal) onstage looked no different than the person standing next to you. But i guess that is what some found appealing about it. Not me.
