[kj] So 80s

[Brendan Quinn]

Agreed, the shitness of current mainstream music knows no boundaries. It’s
like the story of the little pot that won’t stop (which btw freaked the shit
out of me as a kid)…but it’s spewing out great lukewarm lumpy chunks of
dross…

 

The 90s are dead, long live the 90s.

I'm right there with you, Janean. I turned 4 in 1980 so all the music I was
into was the stuff on the radio. Tears for Fears, New Order and Depeche Mode
all still sound awesome today. Songs from the Big Chair is my favourite
album of all time, as a matter of fact. I also recently discovered the album
Metamatic by John Foxx. Probably not a mainstream success but it's dripping
with that 80s synth-pop sound. Really awesome. 
As far as the worst era for mainstream music goes, well, we are currently
suffering through it and have been for the past 5 or 6 years now.

I’ll stick my neck right out here and confess to loving loads of 80s pop.  9
of my top 10 favourite songs are 80s songs (I discovered that when my dad in
NZ asked me to write him a list).  But I’m hardly stuck in the past, though.

 

The majority of 80s pop is awful – most pop from any decade is shite (look
at the 70s!).  But I love loads of it - Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Human
League (pre-84).  I saw Yazoo live on Saturday night and was just expecting
some nostalgic tinkly synthpop.  But I was floored by it.  Best sounding gig
I’ve been to.  It was seriously funky disco – and there’s nowt wrong with
that.

 

Should I get my coat?

Yes, some of the dance stuff was very, very cool (especially the Orb)!
