80s music was s**t

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I think you meant to say because of Duran Duran it was a good decade.
(Do you see what I did there? Decade? The name of their best of?)

White Lies are so overrated. They ripping from those who are ripping from the 80's, imo. And they got ridiculous lyrics. :kiss:

I think Duran Duran started off well but they soon decayed (do you see what I did there? decayed - decade)

Spandau, also good to begin - but they had gone to mould well before "Gold"

We will never see their like again. There's no fun in music anymore. :|

I did, let me know when someone posts one :twisted:

I've paid my money to see White Lies & BMRC a few times, they're decent enough but not exactly breaking the mould.

Which bit in particular? Your subsequent 'Joy' list of bands I've never heard of seems to prove my point that there was much to appreciate despite the lack of stadium bands. Apart from U2 and American hair-metal I can't think of any massive 80s acts.

Metallica. I don't think you would call them hair metal. Even if they still had hair in the 80's.

AAAAND: Iron Maiden: maybe hair, maybe metal, but definitely not American.

Hmm... difficult to decide which one was the joke.

But may be interesting to know to get in front again. ;-)

Ah, by the way: Ozzy Osbourne (as a solo artist) started his career in 1980.

Yes, we do :lol:

Maiden came later when I thought about something of the 80's that remained in popular knowledge (haven't listened to any output from them after Somewhere In Time, actually).
