Thanks for the support... like i said 80's music was hard to swallow. Could you only imagine if there was no grunge ... I think if there wasent all the radios in the world would have committed suicide.

mr dave

do you not realize you sound exactly like that guy with the mullet, the molestache, and the camaro who flipped out when motley crue, bon jovi, poison, cinderella, ratt, warrant, winger, etc all went down the mainstream crapper circa 1990?

learning about music is like learning to eat. at first it doesn't matter, you take anything you can get. then once you start teething (rebelling as a teen) you start getting spoon fed and develop personal tastes, you can turn up your nose to whatever you don't like (start paying attention to mainstream outlets and what they offer). then eventually you have to head out on your own and feed yourself, with whatever suits your fancy. (move past the mainstream and get music 'you' like from wherever you can find it without needing some sort of chart based validation)

so basically at this point you have 2 options. either become an oblivious caricature of those same hard headed 80s music fans with a new wardrobe and soundtrack. OR... learn to find new music and trust your personal judgement on it. the days of being spoonfed the 'good' stuff are over.

Like the 00s and like the 90s, there was also a ton of good music in the 80s. Also, like the 00s and the 90s, most of it wasn't on the radio or on MTV.

LOL. Perfect example of what I was talking about with the watered-down rock comment.

Yeah i know some of it was depressing but ballads? Honestly what do you like better ???

Janszoon

Yes, ballads. "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam, "Polly" by Nirvana, "Glycerine" by Bush, "Creep" by STP, "Disarm" by Smashing Pumpkins. You know, ballads.

I'm not really a fan of grunge or hair metal. Some songs from each have a certain nostalgia factor for me because I grew up in the 80s and 90s but I don't particularly care for either style.
