I've been meaning to start a topic where we can discuss what was REAL music in the 80s and what was SHEER GARBAGE. I know there will be sparks flying by the end this topic is done...or maybe it'll go by without one single reply...WHO can tell??!!
Anyway, after listening to music since the tender age of 4 and playing the piano since 6 AND after listening to music for over 40 years, I reached this conclusion about the 80s music. In my opinion, it was bands like Blondie, The Knack, Clash, The Shirts (with Annie Golden), The Pretenders, Greg Sage and some others that saved that pro-Reagan/Thatcher era socially speaking and pro-dance era (as if the kids never danced to anything BEFORE disco music [or never had fun] ....what a silly term anyway...what does disco music mean anyway???!) from falling head deep into musical oblivion. Thoughts and comments welcome of course
