What were the 80s like?

[Freedom]

It was the worst decade for pop music.

Ummmm where were you during the 80's The music scene was fucking killer ESPECIALLY pop music, Michael Jackson not ring any bells? Prince? Robert Palmer? Madonna? Cyndi Lauper?

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
