The 80s

Which people have been dissing lately - as in: 'all the music from the 80s sucked!' To which i reply, curtly:

the replacements
r.e.m.
prince
u2
husker du
fugazi
the police
talking heads
joe jackson
elvis costello
modern english

This list goes on and on, people. And that's assuming that you don't have a taste for the cheese factor represented so brilliantly by this particular decade (and really, who doesn't appreciate it at least a little. You're telling my that tommy tutone's 867-5309 doesn't make you smile at all? Cyndi lauper doesn't impress you at all???

Even hall and fucking oates had some good songs, if you can get past 'maneater'.

Those who don't appreciate a good 80's night don't know how to live.
