You don't know how true that is as I like later works by Genesis and Tull better than their earlier effort. JettroTull's later album Songs From The Woods is good example of music superiority over their earlier work.

Oh and by the way, wasn't the 80s the Disco Era?
No. By early 80's the disco craze was pretty much done. Punk music gets credit for killing it

I like BeeGees. They have their share of few good songs

By alternative, I meant Alternative Rock which was prominent in the 80's. Groups like REM, Roxy Music, Simple Minds and The Psychedelic Furs comes to mind.
