love the 80s

[Marv]

I'll take the Smiths, the Pixies, U2, and Jane's Addiction. The rest of the '80s you can keep.

Black Flag/Rollins Band....

Yeah ! Lots of good 80's bands but not in the mainstream like in the 60's when we had the Stones, Beatles, Jimi, Doors etc. All mainstream rock but with an edge.

My fav bands of the 80's were INXS, the Cure, New Order, the Smiths, U2, Simple Minds, Guns'n'Roses, Stone Roses, Bryan Adams etc.

Bands I liked in one way or another (mainly down to good songs rather that the band itself)were Duran Duran, OMD, Spandau Ballet etc. etc. the list goes on.

I also listened to a lot of Beatles, Stones, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors and various other 60's artists mainly due to my dad's musical interests etc.

I was in my teens and twenties in the 1980's. Can't say I cared at all for the music or the fashion. I was listening to jazz and dressing via thrift shops. It amuses me that some of the kids I see today think of the 1980's as retro and/or cool. I thought they were mainly rubbish and, what's worse, it feels like only yesterday.

To each his own, but can you really blame today's kids for liking the '80s given the sh!t popular culture that's currently out there? I too was in my teens and twenties in the 1980s and I'd go back in a heartbeat.

You've hit on the key problem. Popular culture. It's nearly always bad.

both the music and the movies were better in the 80s.

The women were better too.
