Having lived through the horrible cacophony of the drug-induced 60's and loving every minute of it, I can say this: Most of the music throughout the 70's was pretty bland and repetitive.. The 80's were different, though: The music from then had more style and class. Artists quit trying to present themselves as burned-out hippies, and started wearing ties.
Maybe it was because they stopped tripping on acid, or maybe it was because they switched to cocaine and Reagan was elected. It was a good time to be an American.
