The 1980's were this


With a touch of this


And a sprinkling of this

It was the worst decade for pop music. The 60's, 70's and 90's were MUCH better.

Movies were somewhat better in the 80s than in the 70s though.

Good decade for boxing, toward the end of the decade we had Mike Tyson. I used to go over to Detroit to watch Tommy Hearns when I lived in Windsor.

People were more sensible and conservative in the 80s. Drug use was down from the reckless 70s, at least in the mainstream. People were less promiscuous than in the 70s because of fear of AIDs and herpes.

I went to see Cyndi Lauper perform in Detroit in the winter of 86-87. And I love Annie Lennox's (Eurythmics) music from that decade. Whitney sang some nice songs.

But compared to the 60s, 70s and 90s, overall the 80s music wasn't very good. The songs I like by Michael Jackson were from the 70s (Ben, I'll Be There) and 90s (Earth Song).

60s: Beatles, Cream, Hendrix, Byrds, etc

70s: ELP, ELO, prime Queen, Wings, Badfinger, Uriah Heep, etc

90s: Oasis, Mariah Carey, The Verve, Cranberries, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette
