What were the 80s like?

I feared music from the eighties would infect and ruin music for all time. Fortunately little remnants of eighties music exists. Ha ha heavy metal.

Can't knock the Stones they carried over decades..and decades. I listened to any music I could get my hands on in the early 80's. I remember getting Undercover right next to Talk Talk Talk, a Peter Gabriel and Women and children First for a Bday . Even Jagger tried to adapt to some influences of the time, for a bit.

Yeah no doubt, the dead is well toyed around with the sound on touch of grey. I just think there was a lot of bad music made in the eighties and nineties that I didn’t think would last. Fortunately I was right. As with most things there are exceptions.

The 1980's were different for everyone but for me along with the two-tone revival and BMX's there was the excitement of the Electro Street Sounds Cassettes. A strip of vinyl put down outside your local C and A ( were they all over the UK?) and your Ghetto Blaster and local crews would try out their moves to what became hip hop. Making mega mixes with a double cassette boom box and experiments with synths and recording ended up becoming a huge part of my life both academically and just as a jobbing producer, DJ and Musician. Lots of people dismiss the 80's for music but in many ways it was an amazing decade everything from the birth of Dance and electronic mainstream to Punk, Funk, Reggae, Industrial,Ska,Thrash and Metal bands cherry picking each other and the decades that went before setting up the conditions for Rave Culture, Grunge, Brit-Pop and the more mainstream Indie stuff that dominated the 90's
