The 80s marked the beginning of the end of decent music being put out on a large scale by many different groups.

Its only gotten progressivly worse.

I feel bad for todays generation in that reguard.
Most of their music sucks.
I know alot of them that freely admit it.

Lack of originality is a large part of the problem

Yea you get an occasional decent tune now and again.
But typically its one group comes out with a good tune and you have 50 other groups taking the same tune Rearranging it a bit and just changing the lyrics.

Same song done 400 different ways.

someone here about a year ago put up 3 songs their group wrote.
All 3 songs sounded exactly the same to me cept for the lyrics.
and I seem to remember mentioning at the time that while it sounded ok. they sounded exactly the same as 100 other bands out there now.

back in the 70's and 80s you could have 100 different bands and 90 of them sounded different.

Now you have 100 different bands and 90- of them will sound exactly the same

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I always thought Teen Spirit sounded like Boston's More Than a Feeling.

All I remember of the 80s music was 'hair bands'.  It seemed like so much fluff and very little substance.  It was more about how it looked in a video then anything else.

I was in my 20s then and just married and starting a family.  My son as he got older started listening to stuff that I'd written off at the time.

I guess the stuff I liked the most the second time around as my son found it was some of the stuff off "Appetite for Destruction" by Guns and Roses

Sweet Child of Mine
Paradise City
Welcome to the Jungle

While they imploded later, at the time they were anything but a hair band.
