Do you miss OLD SCHOOL music?

Remember the late 80's to mid 90's music?
what were your favourite songs?
me? I loved all music back then (sheena easton, duran duran etc)but mostly R&B or Hip/hop (ICE ICE BABY oohhhh yeahhh)
I think back and honestly believe that music was better back then than it is now, what's your opinion?

I do, forsure. My music decades are the 1980s and 1990s. Today's music doesn't appeal to me and I get a little tongue-tied when people ask me what kind of music I listen to on the radio. I don't anymore. Of course...it's really all about preference. I prefer the music of my youth.
