The 80s--your favorite/least favorite???
« on: September 21, 2006, 09:14:37 PM »
I'm watching the Running Man right now, recalling the early days of my youth.  My favorite aspect of the 80s had to be the music. Maybe not the most talent and skill, but certainly the most enthusiasm and imagination.


What about you perverts?

The running man?  You mean the movie where the directors smeared feces over the great book that stephen king wrote?

I see the 80's as a 10 year hiatus taken by all musicians in the world... but that's just me.

You obviously don't know who the hell Rush are, then. Their 80's work was brilliant stuff. Sure, it wasn't the guitar hero material they had in the 1970's, but it was so much more. They experimented with soundscapes, atmospheric textures, and incredibly complex rhythms.

To this day, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Power Windows are still some of my favorite records ever. I also happen to own the first two I mentioned on vinyl, both in outstanding condition.

iirc, Celestron was making 5", 8", 11" & 14" Schmidt-Cassegrains back then, but I guess you're not talking catadioptric telescopes...

It's been more than 10 years..the crap all through the 90's and even today takes alot less talent/ability than previous decades. I can't tell one band from another..they all sound EXACTLY the same.

Early to mid 90's: Dress like you got your clothes from what Goodwill threw away, learn 3 chords and whine about how it sucks to be popular. Then be so childish as to shoot yourself in the face (if you haven't overdosed already) because you didn't have anythhing better to do with your money than spend it on drugs.

That's true (Kurt Cobain was a ****), however... Not all 90's music was like that. Ever heard any Kyuss?

And here's a Rush clip for you guys, circa 1985: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iONLKn5VHY4
