This is in the Western World, especially America.

If you ask me, awesome decade for culture in general. The music, definitely the films, and of course, we were in the early stages of video games.

Michael Jackson and Madonna were the megastars at the dawn of the MTV age, they changed pop culture forever with their big budget music video productions and transcended from pop stars into global fashion icons.

In terms of musical importance it largely depends on where you look. Jane's Addiction and Faith No More laid a lot of the groundwork for the alternative rock revolution of the early 90s. The likes of Mudhoney and Husker Du created the scene that Nirvana grew out of.

Guns n Roses pretty much perfected commercially successful stadium rock.

If you look at sheer quality of output, Prince and Bruce Springsteen had a great decade.

I don't even want to post anyone because I posted in your Duran Duran topic and you started interrogating me.

@KeepAnEyeOut

You made some of them up. No way are Young Marble Giants, or Husker Du real bands. I'm on the fence about "Michael Jackson", as well.
