I adore 80s pop in general, but if I look deep into my heart I have to admit that 1967, '68, and '69 mop the floor with the entire '80s music-wise.
From personal taste, having been born in '87, I have very fond memories to listening to music in 2005/2006. I was discovering bands like Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Maximo Park, Arctic Monkeys, and Bloc Party. Funny thing is, I recently went through the chart of 1979, and only then noticed how much inspiration those mid-2000s bands took from late 70s/early 80s new wave. It was great to listen to albums by XTC or Fischer-Z for the first time, having only been familiar with their hit singles up until now. I was always more about the new romantic side of the mid-80s, like Duran Duran or Spandau Ballet.. I'm starting to appreciate the 'proper' new wave that was around before them and after punk. A more organic sound and sparse but tasteful and creative use of synths if used at all.
