Completely disagree with your point on the 1980s, and thats not just because im English

Stereolab
Primal Scream
Radiohead
Bark Psychosis
Suede
Massive Attack
Portishead
Prodigy
Leftfield
Tricky
Chemical Brothers
Autechre
Boards of Canada
My Bloody Valentine
Aphex Twin
Blur

Are some memorable 90s acts, i do actually agree with you however, most of the best stuff has recently come from the US, and by recent i mean probably 95 - present day
