1970s - Janet Lynn, John Curry and Toller Cranston. Tai and Randy. Didn't know much about ice dance, but I found Ludmila Pakhomova captivating. Rodnina with any partner. And Dorothy Hamill wasn't too bad.

Amen to pollyanna's choices.
The skaters that followed built on their technical/artistic innovations.

The 1990s, though I have two biases: one, it is when I began watching and two, it is when there was extensive TV coverage and extensive skating happening period.
Favorite skaters: Maria Butyrskaya, Midori Ito, Tonya Harding, Caryn Kadavy (she was a pro), Denise Biellmann (as a pro), Chen Lu, Yuka Sato, Oksana Baiul, Nicole Bobek, Christopher Bowman, Viktor Petrenko, Paul Wylie, Mishkutenok/Dmitriev, Woetzel/Steuer, Torvill/Dean, Usova/Zhulin, Duchesnay/Duchesnay, and many more!

There are a lot more skaters who skated in the 1990s, but I tend to view them more as 80s skaters or 00 skaters, rather than 90s skaters.
