A hear people frequently say that there was no good music written and recorded in the 80's...

yep. that's what people say.

dD

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

To many, the massive amount of pure garbage that came out of the 80s overshadows the really good stuff.

Good thread btw!

If you say so. But I don't listen to the garbage so it doesn't overshadow anything for me.

The sales, repetition and propagation of the garbage is what overwhelmed the good stuff, for the average, non-musical, indiscriminate, casual, top-40 listener in the 80s.

That equals, the masses.

Sucks for those years to be your formative ones...as if one could have been informed and formed during and by the 80s.

yep, three months later and what has mani built? yet another small pond.

kid: "Oh mommy, look at the big fish!"

Kid's mom: "That's no big fish dear. That's a Minnow. A Minnow is a small fish, especially one used as bait fish or for fishing bait. More specifically, it refers to small freshwater fish of the carp family. He only looks big because he's swimming around in a small puddle of piss."


carp: To find fault in a disagreeable way; complain fretfully.

That song may very well be what defined the 80's
