"90s had Blur v Oasis.

Both had some great songs, but I would have to say that Duran Duran had a slight edge out of the two of them.

As with the Blur/Oasis thing, I always thought there were many other, better bands. I never had a side and always just enjoyed all of the music from everyone.

It's also worth remembering that there were bands like Bonjovi, Def Lepord, and GnR around in the 80's AND 90's... and they're going to come out on the top of any "Battle of the Bands", NOT oasis or Spandau.

Through the Baricades is one of my all time favourite songs though.

The body of work and complexity of Sting’s lyrics make the police well worth looking back at.

Out of the two I think Duran Duran had a better range of songs and career.

My favourite band were Propaganda that have the 80’s vibe.

Even though they were technically a 70's band, Van Halen were the best band of the 80's.
