Yeah, no. You literally admitted that you wrote off her whole discography because you thought she was just an '80s pop star.

Play Waking the Witch for her and see what happens.

Lol look at elph trying to backpedal after saying something ignorant.

But yeah, only The Hounds of Love sounds like "normal" 80's pop in any capacity.

Never Forever sounds distinctly 70's and is filled with arty, melodic rock tunes.
The Dreaming is just weird.
Hounds of Love is fairly poppy and at times danceable. But let's not forget tracks like "Trapped Under Ice", "Mother Stands For Comfort", "And Dream Of Sheep" and "Waking the Witch".
The Sensual World is very laid back, more mature, kind of moody and slightly adult contemporary in feel. Not exactly right for a night at the club.
1980 is the 70s.

I'm pretty sure that in Danish, the 80's are the years that are named Eighty/eighty something.
Proof that I'm not just making this up: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980%27erne

Forgive us for not being obtuse for no reason.

No he's wrong. Seventies music ends on Dec 31 1979 and anything recorded on or after January 1st 1980 is eighties music. It's just simple logic and common sense.

He might prefer to think of it as 70s because it's so close to the end of that decade, but in reality, it's not.

But what if it was recorded in 1979, and then released in 1980?

At least you're upfront about your poseurhood, unlike a certain someone.

The first century started on 1 AD, not 0 AD, so decades begin on a 1.
