I know that I can say that the 90's were the worst with the whole scene uncertain where to go and how to sound. Of course there were exceptions but it did give us bands in the 00's who knew the scene was stagnant and really began to experiment with their sound as the fans were much more open hearing a new sound in Metal, especially disillusioned fans from the 90's who lamented the stagnation of the scene.

The 70's had some great bands, you just need to look for them ( Hard Stuff's 1972 album Bulletproof is phenomenal) but the 80's had some brilliant bands too that still hold up today.
