A lot of Pop Music does suck. But the 80s did have a lot of great music by the likes of Phil Collins/Genesis, Michael Jackson, Prince, U2, Springsteen, The Replacements, The Police, Ac/Dc, Husker Du, Metallica, ZZ Top, R.E.M., Bob Dylan, Sonic Youth, Bad Religion, NOFX, Black Flag, The Misfits [before Danzig left], Danzig Himself [Mother is an awesome song - suck it], Bad Brains, The Dead Kennedys, The Descendents, Jane's Addiction, The Clash's London Calling, The Meat Puppets...
The 80s weren't all bad...
