Based on which I like more, I could go either way. Both eras have 4 albums that I really dig. I think I'd probably have to roll with the 80s, though. The reason is that even though I don't like Power Window through Preso at all, I'm also not particularly familiar with them. There's a great deal I could learn, and no doubt plenty of tiny bits that I'd adore if I were to really hunker down with those albums. At this point they might as well be new music to me.
