Pop music generally sucks. It is usually comprised of throw-away tunes and trendy lyrics. It is interesting that the bands listed, Talk Talk, Echo, The Furs, New Order, Depeche Mode, etc...were not mainstream music when they came out. In the 80's in Phoenix, the only place you could find those bands on the radio was this lame AM station. Today you can hear all of those bands on several different FM stations and you rarely hear what was "popular" in the 80's. I know that there is good music out there, it is just often very hard to find it.
