Wasn't the 80's the ultimate decade for music in general? Today it just seems like there is not enough heart and soul in alot of the songs I hear. Of course everyone is different! So I'm sure alot of people may disagree with me. I thought that one bad move was when bands started mixing 2 types of music together. Like Rap and Metal. Its okay to do it as a side project, but to actually have a band that is both rap and metal? Nah! I don't see that as being a good idea. I kinda prefer that a band be in a certain category and stick to their roots. If your gonna be metal be metal! If your gonna be country be country! Now you have bands that sound like they are trying to bring every type of music there is into one category.

In the 60's 70's and 80's it was about talent. Not about looks. I mean when you went and seen someone sing live from those decades they sounded just like they did on an album or tape. Now days its about appearance only. Go to a concert pay all that money to listen to someone who can't sing a lick live.

Yes dude, 80's for me was the best era in music. All of the things that's happening right now is brought by changes. Let just say that they become more creative, combining different types of music into one. Or for other reasons, listeners nowadays don't mind what the true meaning of song is, they cared only for beats! They spend their money for beats! And so as a result, all of a sudden, a lot of "artists" will come into existence because hey it's easy to earn money! A few narration of words having a beat on a background is... daraaaannn, a big money nowadays! Who wouldn't grab an opportunity like that? It's the people who made music alive. If no one patronized these type of music, it wouldn't be here. It's here and it's alive because of the people, and people today are different from before. I'm not that old, I'm only on my mid-20's, but I prefer to listen to the songs that I grew up into or the songs of the past, and not these "stuff" that we had today. Yes dude, 80's was the ultimate decade for music in general!
Peace to all.

The 80's was a decent decade for music, but having listened to all kinds of music since childhood, to me the 60's is the ultimate decade for rock music. I'm going to include r&b, soul, Motown, the British Invasion, folk and protest music, garage(an ancestor of punk rock), psychedelic, early heavy metal, hard rock, surfing music, early progressive/art rock,bubble gum, pop/rock, rock instrumentals, early country rock, dance music,etc in the definition of "rock music" I know I'm leaving some out!.
Many legends and later Rockand Roll Hall of Fame inductees started their careers or were at their peak during the 1960's: the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, the Rolling Stones, James Brown, Ray Charles,Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, the Beach Boys, the Four Seasons, Brenda Lee, the Supremes, Led Zeppelin etc. Although he burst upon the world's stage in the 1950's. Elvis Presley continue to have many hits throughout the 60's
Dylan recently released an album and the Rolling Stones have sold out concert tours over five decades. The late James Brown was still peforming just before his death last Christmas and Led Zeppelin reunited last week after almost thirty years for a reunion charity concert in London.
The songs and performers of the 1960's have greatly influneced the music and artists who came along in the years afterward, including the music of the 1980's. It has been the most influential decade in the history of rock music...

AMEN! 80's are definitely the times for good music. Today people are just in it for the money. There is no more rock and roll. There's rock, and it's cool, but it doesn't have the same spirit behind it. Rock and roll was about being different, and sticking it to the man. Today it's about being cool, doing what everyone else does, and making money. Sad.

The 80's were the golden age of music in my opinion, nothing can beat them, anything that could get close is some '60s and '70s music.

70's and 80's were the peak and I doubt if music will ever equal it again

yeah, but bands mature and their sound usually changes when that happens.
