What do you consider the weakest musically talented decade?
IMO, it has to be the 80's, especially the early/mid 80's. The MTV/music video pulled the recording industry out of a slow, agonizing decline financially, though musically it might have been a regressive direction(?). Later in the decade the introduction of the CD reinvigorated the consumer and the industry reaped the benefits.
So, in my summary, it was the technical advancements rather than musical talent, direction, composition, and movements that propelled the business financially. Ironically, later, technology would be the downfall.
