80's mainstream was awful, but many people think it is cool, cause today's maistream is worse.

Nope, still not feeling it at all - I had to turn the video off after a minute.
And in case anyone thinks I'm trying to be snobbier than thou - here's one from my 80's music wall of shame (a song I really liked at the time - I used to think the video was well awesome too): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cznha2YTTh0

I'm expecting someone to come along soon and say something perfectly rational like, on the whole the 80s mainstream was pretty awful (like the mainstream of any era) but that it did throw up the occasional gem (again, just like the mainstream of any era).
I hate it when people say things like that. |

Yeah, but you've managed to choose the one new romantic record that's almost universally considered cool. I suspect that your 'wall of shame' is actually nothing of the sort. |

see i'm a firm believer in that 90% of music from the 80's was complete shit. i honestly think it's one of teh very worst decades for music ever. that's just me though.

I do have an image of snaredrums with lots of reverb, phased guitars, weird haircuts and smoke machines, though.

Well then you've pretty much got it nailed.

I thought Billy Idol was great. He mainstreamed punk with the help of one of America's greatest guitarists, Steve Stevens.

^^^Hmm, I'd say that Idol was channelling Bad Company through Cheap Trick rather than poonk, but otherwise a great first post. Messrs Idol and Stevens provided a sterling attack pairing which booted a hat trick of hits into the goalmouth of the Top 40. And what hits they were too:

There's song by Generation X that I've always liked ever since I've heard it on the radio years ago. I've never been able to find out on what album (?) it's on, and I don't want to buy any generation x albums.
