The 80's was the worst decade of music? I disagree. I think was the best! You've got the best works of everyone from ACDC to Ray Charles to Michael Jackson(before the baby-raping) to Madonna(before she went crazy too) to Billy Idol to Randy Travis to Wierd Al. It was a great time for music, full of innovation and variety. And it's still drawn from today; ever been in a night club? All the ever play is 80's music mixed with a techno beat.

I agree with you there. I think the 80s was a great decade in music. To me, the '90s is what ruined it all. Even the groups that I listen to religiously put out stinker albums in that decade!

Whatever. You can't please everyone, though I do feel that this review was a bit unbalanced. To be honest, I consider 90% of "modern bands" to suck really hard! So, you could imagine how my review of a Fall Out Boy CD might go....
Personally I love the music! This reviewer might not have, but c'mon it's a fun CD, no matter how you slice it!

And then for every good singer you have at least two bad ones that personify the 80's....Devo....A Flock of Seagulls...Lionel Richie...Hall and Oates
Regardless of whether you think the 80's were awesome, the majority of people think it was horrible. 10 good albums released in a 10 year period does not a good decade make. Don't get me wrong I enjoy some of the music, but so much of it was just bad and when I hear it I tend to wince. And no. I've never been to a night club. I dislike enclosed spaces. And theres no worse of an enclosed space than an orgy of people packed together waving their arms around.

Then how come they rated the movie as one of the top twenty five DVD's deserving of a DVD update?
And how come, when they gave the 20th Anniversary DVD a review, they gave it a high rating?

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
First-Aid wrote:From a strictly musical standpoint, popular music peaked in 1989 and has been slowly sliding backwards since. I majored in music and have been playing and performing an array of instruments for 27 of my 32 years. I can define each decade of popular music by a single word.
1950's- Be-bop. The birth of rocknroll is defined by three and four chord blues progressions.
1960's- expansion. Popular music moves away from talent and more towards sex appeal while expanding rock's appeal worldwide.
1970's- bizarre. Music in the 70's was mostly very oddly worded, with often nonsensical chord progressions.
1980's- Experimentation. Music reaches its height with the creation and popluarization of synthesizers. Pop music splits into R and B, rock, and metal.
1990's- Noise. Music focuses on noise levels while moving away from coherency. Chord progressions simplify to accomodate the decrease in talent levels and musical knowledge. Sex appeal means more and more in music culture.
2000's- Rehash- Music from the 70's and 80's make up most favorites, leading to decrepit remakes. R and B, split into rap and R and B, frequently uses riffs from old songs to compensate for a significant lack of musical knowledge while simultaneously renewing interest in older music. Sex appeal means much more than talent leading to a number of one-hit wonders who lack the talent to maintain stardom, while older established bands fill the void by providing new music and touring and filling huge stadiums.
