Some of the songs may be sappy as you say, but they had an edge to them. Foreigner 4 truly started the band's transition into sappy territory.

REM, U2, The Police, The Violent Femmes, Husker DU, The Replacements, and others were all signifigant contributors to a great decade!
They have a song out that applies to our economic situation. It is one of the most prophetic songs ever made. Blew me away when I heard it months ago, and I put it in my I-pod.
