There were incredibly few rock songs making it out to the airwaves until the '80s came along.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Rock became an incredible commercial success, people just became bored with serious music, and it was forgotten.
I love Eighties rock.
In the '80s, they were using an awful lot of technology but hadn't really figured out how it worked yet... You had these really great, simple pop songs turned into these gigantic overproductions.
Or like in the early 70's when we had the reaction against acid rock and all the fuzz tone, and feedback, and the noise. And you had James Taylor and everyone went acoustic and that.
I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with.
I love '80s rock music. I was fascinated with Stevie Nicks when I was growing up.
The heyday of video music was the mid 80's.
I can't remember too much about the '80s, to be honest with you... I wish that weren't true, but it is.
I'm not an '80s fan. I'm more '70s New York pre-punk kind of thing, and I guess I grew up with '90s grunge, post-punk pop music.
The '70s and '80s were just the period during which the best soul music was created and the best records were done.
