I've had a few drinks and have fallen down a rabbit hole of watching you tube videos of 80s and 90s indie and rock bands.
I think my favourite 80s band has to be The Jesus and Mary Chain.
90s is a little more difficult as I like so much music but I have settled on The Pixies
Hit me with your favourite bands from these eras and I'll have a dance in my living room Smile

And this just shows there has been hardly any decent music since 1989.

Are you kidding me?
This was a specific question about the 80s and 90s. There's loads of great stuff post 1989!!

Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus.

That video is pure, fabulous filth
