LOL I often felt that the 80's was a big disappointment as far as music goes.. but you know what.. looking back on it.. I feel that some of that stuff I hated back then.. today, sounds better than some of the crap I hear today

But I would also argue, there WAS plenty of good music as well

just not all that crap they tried to shove down my throat via MTV and local radio

Back in the mid to late 80's you could often fine me at Humphrees in the Square or Enoch's listening to A-Train or the Bluebirds, and man what a good time that was !!

The 1980s was the best popular music era ever. People forget that the vast majority of the music in the 60s and 70s was really, really terrible because the good stuff was really good. For every Beatles/Stones/Beach Boys/Pink Floyd there were five million really, really awful bands. The worst era of popular music is the last 10-15 years.

For Christ's sake "Penny Lane" only made it to #2 on the British charts behind Engelbert Humperdinck's "Release Me." I'll say that again: "Penny Lane" was #2 on the British charts behind a song by Engelbert Humperdinck.

the whole "Popular music chart" system has changed completely in the last 20-30 years..

Back in the day, the #1 song, heck the top 10 songs.. at any given time.. would most likely be known by anyone and everyone.

But today, the musical audience is so fragmented. so many channels, so many genres. I can't name a single top 10 song right now. probably doesn't help that I don't listen to the "Radio" anymore.

same can be said for T.V. used to be with just the 3 network channels that were out there, an audience for any given show was much larger.. now with all the damn stations we have now. Even a successful show, only garners a small fraction of the audience older shows used to.

I couldn't agree more.. except what that means.. for me anyway, the shows I like get cancelled. and gets replaced with another reality t.v. show

The reality shows are nothing like what reality is all about. I agree TV sucks and I find that me and my wife enjoy music and collect concert DVDs and have a good stuff that comes on satellite. This is much better than the news or other bs TV shows. There are still some networks that have good old movies and other programs that will do. Ain't that a Bi-otch
