This week I have been listening to Ultravox - Vienna,
Ministry - With Sympathy and Depeche Mode - Speak & Spell.
And lo, the 80s pops are good.

Because Drunken Bastard was 6 years in 1990? I was 6 years
in 1983, and "defining-life"-music from that year sounds
crap to me. I have the same feelings as you for those years.
And some of the albums from 88-92 are still favourites.
Nirvana: Bleach/Nervermind, Pearl Jam:Ten, REM: Out of
time/Automatic for the people, Smashing P:Gish,
Pixies:Doolittle, Alice In Chains: Dirt. All albums that I
will appreciate much more than my favourites from the last
four years. People diss Grunge, but fuck there was some
excellent albums released. Saying that things used to be
better before is old-man-tolstoyed-talk, but I doubt that
13-year old boys downloading lots of music every day will
get the same feeling about the music they listen to now, as
I have for music from that area.

I'm kind of obsessed with 80's pop music. Pop music nowadays
has got nothing on it. There's just something about those
old cheesy synths and I love.

I don't count grunge as 80's at all. It might have started
then, but it sure as hell wasn't accessible to kids like me.
Never heard of REM until the 90's. We just didn't have a
network then. We were spoon fed by mtv. You had to be in
college to know about that stuff.

"had to be in college"? Speak for yourself.

i agree, the culture of the 80s was something that everyone
could reach for and feel a part of. by contrast the pop
culture of today is utterly fake.
