Well, son, you start with Bob Dylan, you add the Beatles, Stones, Led Zepplin, Cream, Jefferson Star Ship, Steppenwolf, The Jimmi Hendrix Experience, Aerosmith, The Who, The Kinks, The Doors, The Yardbyrds, The Eagles and toss Janis Joplin on top of it all.

And you stack that up against Michael Jackson and L.J. Kool?

OIC pops you are talking artists from the 60's and 70's not just music. I was just talking music that came out during the 80's. Moving Pictures and Master of Puppets alone would have rendered your argument invalid IMO. Not to mention albums like Pretty Hate Machine form NIN or Synchronicity by the Police. AC/DC U2, Slayer, Peter Gabriel all made pretty good albums in the 80's as well. There is actually a pretty extensive list of great music made in that decade.

The best thing about 80s music was that it forced people to keep playing music from the late sixties and early seventies.

A lot of the good music in the 80s was listened to by subcultures at the time. It only really became "popular" after the fact.

We had movies in the 60's and 70's. Some of them were in color and many of them had excellent musical scores. Lawrence of Arabia, Fellinis' 81/2, the Scores for the Spaghetti Westerns - (The Good the Band and the Ugly, Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More), The Graduate, Easy Rider, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Dr. Strangelove, the original James Bond series

let's compare musicals: 1980's
42nd Street (musical) Barnum (musical), Blues in the Night (musical), Happy New Year (musical), Marry Me a Little (musical), Les Misérables (musical), One Night Stand (musical)
Summer Rain (musical)
Of that list 42nd Street is a revival and Les Miserables is the only one with legs to carry it beyond its initial run

Compare that list with the 60s: Bye Bye Birdie, Camelot, Do Re Mi, The Fantasticks, Irma La Douce, Oliver!, Tenderloin, The Unsinkable Molly Brown. 5 with legs

You wanna talk Jazz? Coltrane, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson, Ahmed Jamall, Stan Getz and Jobim, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Frank Sinatra does his best work in the 60's and Ella Fitzgerald releases her songbook series.

Classical? In the Sixties the US has five incomparable orchestras, unmatched by any other orchestra in the world. The list has to begin with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia, George Szell and the Cleveland, Charles Munch and the Boston, Thomas Schippers and the Cincinnati, Fritz Reiner and Sir George Solti at the Chicago and The New York Philharmonic conducted by Leonard Berstein. Composers? Berstein, Shostikovich, Copeland.

And then there's the shit-kicker music preferred by Jimbo Fisher. :cool:

:oh:

Well when it became popular doesn't change the date of when the music was made. I'm glad to know I was and still am in the subculture though.

This. It never got played on the radio, which by the early 80s was either insipid 80s pop music or stale, by-the-numbers dinosaur rock.

The same fucked up method is still used today. Every station plays the same 6-10 songs they always play per genre. Plenty of great bands out there that people have never heard of that won't get radio play, but will sell out the venues they play

Fuck Ji*bo Fisher and *ichigan.

I think there is one if not two threads dedicated to music in the Open Discussion forum, that being said, I loved both 70's and 80's Rock music (not pop and rap). You listed a lot of good bands, Cinci, but as for Dylan...that is just some of the most god awful "singing" I have ever heard.

Carry on...And. On this day be thankful Jimbo isn't our coach

Yeah. I'll give you computers, food, health care, TV sets, but the eighties were not kind to most types of music and if you read the thread that was the challenge thrown out.

In the meantime, Go Gators!

Music, movies, etc. are all personal taste. I wouldn't give you a plug nickel for a majority of the music made today, just like I wouldn't for a Dylan record, Jimbo, or Jamesis.....
