I may have fallen in love during the 1980s, so that may explain, but I find alot of young and old share my passion for the 1980s music ..

Well , look at music historically - artists from the 80's period had all that came before them to learn from and to soak up. The 80's is also when we had a surge of independant experimentation going on in music, which some of was good but a lot more was crap. Things started turning for the worse when the crap started sneaking on to the airwaves little by little , until it started becoming more acceptable. Pretty soon you had bands that couldn't play well at all but were weird , so they got accepted as the norm. Pop radio's answer to that was the "Lets dig up some fresh faces and make them a star!" approach - didn't matter if they could actually play or sing , modern technology can fix that. And now today we have the culmination of what was to be , 'garbage in - garbage out" , and todays mainstream is all pointless pop crap , untalented and bland, and to find anything good , you have to go well off the pop radar.

I'm almost 50 and listen to more 80s music than anything today. New Wave and Adult Alternative started in the 80s - Talking Heads, U2, Tears for Fears, INXS, 10,000 Maniacs and the like - it was a new sound that was very refreshing after the era of disco and rock ballad bands. There were great dance tunes, too. It was music you could sing to, dance to, and just listen to. It lives on, that's for sure!

I would enlarge that to most things from the mid 70s to early 90s. Frank Sinatra, Arethra Franklin, The beatles, and more. They were awesome!. Look at us now with crap artists like Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, P. diddy, and stuff. The only meaningful songs survived through artists like Melissa Etheridge, Michelle, Branch, and John Mayer, who's major influences were artists from the 80s and 70s. Keep listening to 80s music. That stuff is real! God Bless!

Every song had a unique sound. Not just the band style, but each of the songs on an album was quirky and unique. Not like the homogenized tripe that passes for music and musicians today.
80's rock!!

I LOVE 80's music! maybe because I was a teenager then I dont know but the music was fantastic back then-- there's still a LOT of good music out now but to me there's nothing better than that old time rock and roll ;)

Bad Religion
Dead Kennedys
NoFX
Bad Brains
I think you're right. These are the best punk bands from the 80's. Although if you mean like 80's pop then no.

The 80s has had time for most of the awful stuff to be forgotten, so it now sounds good in comparison to most "fresh" music, which is both fresh and steaming, if you catch my drift.
