Yeah, it was really good compared to modern "pop". I like a fair bit of 70s music too, the sugarhill gang, the whispers etc. |

When it was the 80's I didn't give a shit about people like Prince, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Def Leppard, Duran Duran, etc. But when I look at what we've got now in pop music, i'd gladly go back to the good old days. The 80's were great. Kids of this decade have it bad, when they get to be in their mid 20's they are gonna get nostalgic for Britney Spears, Korn Bizkit and N'Sync, I feel sorry for them. |

ecnadniarb from United Kingdom has it right: 80's pop music is the worst music ever created. |

You'd feel different about it if you were around in the 80's. |

Well then it's because you're British. :) |
||||||||

But most of the groups listed were British :) |

I'm Canadian and feel the same way. :) I don't look back fondly on 80's pop music at all and I was there. I look back on early Metallica fondly because that's the only good music I was exposed to. |

I was listening to And Justice For All this morning. This fat fuck across the street from where I lived used to go outside with his boombox, a lawnchair, some sunglasses and a beverage and sit there and blast it. |

The only And Justice For All I know is the one of that Wu Tang album..lol |

I love 80's music... you guys are looking at it almost like it's a genre... not all 80's music sucked, some of it was good... but yes, some of it did suck so much!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but I'm an 80's freak anyways... I love cheap 80's pop, for some reason... it's much better then the pop of oday!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Thats because the pop of today try to be street credible where in the 80's the fools used to wear make up and sparkly stuff. |
||||||||
|

most 80's chart pop music WAS and still IS absolute crap, the only reason some of it sounds good is for the nostalgic memories it throws up. |
||||||||
|

Finally someone who's with me in appreciating the goodness of 80's music. And I agree with you about people trying to make it a genre. It's pretty hard to dismiss an entire DECADE of music. |

I know....Depeche Mode were like all time favourite..but them and the The Cure and The Smith and OMD..were a bit to the leftfield..where there were oodles and oodles of goodies...half my Industrial collection is composed of those..Cabs...242..Skinny Puppy...Einsturzende Neubauten...I was talking about right in the centre..I know..about the crap that decade sprouted..which decade hasnt?...but that 70's seemed to be about manufactured jury built session musician helmed disco units...much like the 00's...90's were awash with angsty grunge murk..80's just seemed to have a higher quotient of individuals and bands creating their own popular music and then taking credit for it.. |
