All depends there was a lot of different music in the 80's, unlike today. We had pop rock (Madonna, Duran Duran, Micheal Jackson, Billy Joel, Phil Collins), political rock (REM, Smiths, Tears for Fears, etc) glam rock (Wham, Culture Club, Oingo Boingo), Synth rock (A-Ha, Mr. Mister), hair bands (G-N-R, Poison,etc.), Slasher PoliPunk (Anthrax, Old Metallica, Suicidal Tendancies, Violent Femmes, etc.), Girl Rock (Pat Benatar, Heart, Bangles, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Samantha Foxx... ah some wet dreams from those bands)

Wow sorry getting carried away.... tons of great and meaningful music (or music that brings back memories, at least). Looking back, I realize, we had some fucking killer music, and there was so much variety that everyone could do their own thing and enjoy. People focus on the latter half (Hair Bands ....) but there was great music the whole decade. But it also made for very fickle fans.

Of Course we had the Great Weird Al also ......

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
