Subject: 80's had the best music....
Written By: Rach on 01/28/04 at 06:04 p.m.
;D
Am I right? There were SO many good groups back then. Groups like N'Sync or Backstreet Boys just can't compare. My favorite was Rick Springfield, with his wavey black hair and green eyes. He's still gorgeous today with a new album coming out on February 24th.

No argument there :) I can't remember the last time I heard anything as good on present-day radio.

I agree..ever since we got a local 80's station, I don't listen to any other channels. I like a few of the songs they got out today, but usually they have a strong 80's influence.

The best music. Everything from new wave, pop, R&B, rap, metal, and rock. :D
Now it's just bland pop acts and overexposed rappers that mainly rap about the same ol' stuff.

My thoughts are along the same line as woops
I think there are 2 main reasons why music was so special in the 80's...
#1 - There were so many styles that were new or new to the general public: Punk, Electronic/Syth-Pop, Hardcore, New Wave, Goth, Ska, Reggae, Rap/Hip-Hop, etc...
People were listening to a little of everything. Musicians were experimenting with different styles, mixing styles for the 1st time. It was a time of musical exploration and that was way cool!
#2 - 80's music was Happy/Fun music!
With the exception of straightforward pop (which has always had an upbeat tone), once grunge hit it big in 1991, music has gotten more and more angry.

I agree. I listen to 80's radio stations or to 80's internet radio stations. There's not too much music out today that I like.

I am a "child of the 80s" - sure dates me, doesn't it? ;D I have to agree with what all of you have said. 80s music rocks! And no one knows how to do that better than Rick!
So anxious for the new album.
