I don't know what surprises me more... that the sixties lost, or that the eighties won.

I can understand why you feel that way 'Oriphiel'. Slightly off topic: I remember reading an article in 'Billboard' magazine a few years ago regarding the state of "oldies" radio. In short order, the 80's became the "new" oldies over the past five years and pretty much wiped out the 50's on their playlists. With a few exceptions, at least on the prominent oldies station ( KOOL-FM ) in my area, the 80's have even taken over the 60's to some extent. Crazy for sure! Albeit humbling I must admit ( ).

80s is the decade when music started to get into more advertisement and brainwashing. Materialism, image no talent. It's the decade which appealed to the general public more. No surprise people picked it there are a LOT of sheep. More sheep than anything. Although, King Crimson did well in the 80s. That's about it.

Or people appreciate the fact that the 80s had a ton of great music.

The 80s was the birth of Pop (aka Garbage) where the previous decade was about artistic expression and required talent to be an "artist".

The Night Watch - King Crimson (1974)
We Built This City - Starship (1985)

Yea the 80s sure was awesome...

Pop existed long before the 80s mate.

Bee Gees - Mr. Natural (1974)
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation (1988)

Yea, the 70s sure were awesome.

You're right btw, cherrypicking to prove a point is fun.

The 80s was the era of post punk, no wave, goth, hardcore, thrash, death metal, black metal, industrial, EBM, etc. Just because you haven't taken the time to look beyond Starship doesn't mean there wasn't any great music.
