Love the 80s myself. Loved the music of Johnny Hates Jazz, Genesis, Mike and The Mechanics, Def Leppard, Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, Hall & Oates, and a lot many artists. Plus who can forget Michael Jackson?

Everyone seems to think that every generation had both the bad and the good but IMHO the good of today is nowhere near the good of the 60s, 70s, or 80s (unless I have missed some hidden gems and if that's so then that's the point the OP is making... how will the present generation discover good/awesome music when they are fed Justin Bieber).

I do remember reading somewhere that Bob Dylan would not have been the Bob Dylan if he was born in this generation. His "looks" would rule him out or something to that effect.
