EDIT= I don't think the eighties were any darker than any other decade musically. It depends on where you look.
Originally posted by epiphinehasi sort of agree, but i think it was necessary to look harder in the 80s.

ok, 80s stuff i liked:
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), by David Bowie - esp. Ashes to Ashes;
Trinity Sessions, by Cowboy Junkies;
Faith, by The Cure, and to some extent, Disintegration;
Streetcleaner, by Godflesh;
Minor Threat
some Talking Heads, esp. Burning Down the House, Psychokiller, Once in a Lifetime;
Things Fall Apart, by Husker Du;
Superfuzz Bigmuff, by Mudhoney;
lots of Sonic Youth;
Birthday Party / Bad Seeds.
What the hell was wrong with the 80's?
Well... besides Thatcherism, the haircuts and the clothing...
Some of the best albums were made in the 80's:
The river
London Calling
The Stone Roses
The unforgettable fire
And there were a lot of great hits as well:
Time after time (Lauper)
Karma Chameleon (Boy George)
Like a virgin
Boys don't cry
However, I have to agree that there is the bitter after taste of "Wake me up before you go go" swirling in my brain as well. What was that all about?
the ghost in you. Psychedelic Furs
its my life. Talk Talk
tower of strenght. The Mission UK
this is the day. The The
how soon is now. The Smiths
london calling. The Clash
bring on the dancing horses. Echo & the Bunnymen
no flower please. Naked Eyes
eighties. The Killing Joke
the list is huge

And whatever Devo was. And didn't the end of the 80's bring us the true musical Armageddon that is hip-hop and rap? I'm not sure when those atrocities vame in--I've had my hands cupped over my ears since 1985. 🙂

Originally posted by PinkFloydPunk? 80s? Mid-70s, surely.

I agree with the others. Every generation has had rubbish music. The 80s is no worse than the others.
