Was 80s Serie A the best era for quality and competitiveness?

The whole ESL stuff has got me thinking how to improve the competitiveness of European football without harming the overall quality. So I thought a good way to think this through is to look at historical examples which married both.

After a cursory glance, it seems like 1980s Serie A is one of the best. There was 6 different winners of Serie A in the 1980s whilst the league sported the likes of Zico, Falcao, Platini and Maradona.

Does anyone else have any good examples?
