As far as "synth bollocks" goes, I guess I don't understand the attitude that one instrument is somehow less legit than another. But if you don't like "synth bollocks" why would you back and listen to 80s music? That was like the decade of the synthesizer.
Well, I mean keyboards and synths are okay when used correctly, I think The Smiths used them, and were still brilliant. But these days it just sounds bad (for me anyway) Radiohead used them for Kid A and that was a great album, but there's something about bands these days that just doesn't do it for me.

NME 2010 up and coming list was laughable.

80s - Van Halen, AC/DC, Motorhead, Queen, The Cure, Guns n Roses (hides), The Smiths, Joy Division etc. that's why I go back to the 80s.
