The 1980s was the best popular music era ever. People forget that the vast majority of the music in the 60s and 70s was really, really terrible because the good stuff was really good. For every Beatles/Stones/Beach Boys/Pink Floyd there were five million really, really awful bands. The worst era of popular music is the last 10-15 years.
For Christ's sake "Penny Lane" only made it to #2 on the British charts behind Engelbert Humperdinck's "Release Me." I'll say that again: "Penny Lane" was #2 on the British charts behind a song by Engelbert Humperdinck.
