I miss big hair. Music you liked

Chrisobal, I LOVE you!!!!!

Great oldies..**** stuff.

I will have to share the story about my daughter and her HAIR later! LOL.

Your know...the forward bangs that looked like a CLAW back then? LOL
 
Sorry, Christo, but with the exception of a very, very few songs, the death of disco was a mercy killing that took far too many years.
 
The 80s was the worst decade ever for music. Many of the late 60s and 70s bands were relegated to making comeback tours. Nirvana saved us from big hair.

Death to big hair! Long live alternative rock!

and progressive 70s stuff

and 60s hippy stuff

90s had Nirvana, Bush and other alternative sound stuff

Bush was good. The first two albums anyways. Same for the Offspring. First two big commercial releases.

Bush Machinehead. British, bikes and a babe

He's got good musical taste.
 
OK I get that. You didn't buy an album. You didn't like a single song from then. What were you listening to? It was a decade.

70s stuff. The stuff I grew up on. Was working then so could afford to buy all the albums I did not buy in high school. Spent most of the 80s bitching about the crap music that was being put out. Blamed the new video medium. All pretty boys and girls. No real substance. No real message.

MuchMusic was brand new. Watched music videos but still never saw anyone worth spending money on. Don't think I bought any new albums from 85 until sometime in the early 90s.

Helix was a local band. Saw them in bars every chance we got. Some of the younger brothers of buddies bought there albums but we just went for the partying.
 
Tiamo!!!*waves*
I loved twisted sister. ...at the ripe old age of 10 ish....
Eighties Madonna. ..papa don't preach....
Anything guns and roses....90's alternative. ....I'd marry you on the spot if you like pearl jam. ..mother love bone....temple of the dog. ...Chris Cornell...

Although I don't listen to Twisted Sister anymore, I'll jam to all of the above, yeah including Madonna. I just went on a road trip and sang my heart out to 90s alternative - Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Janes Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins (just saw them at Red Rocks), sublime, Nirvana, and so much more...

I guess we'll have to get married Ruby! :heart:

This is a generational thing. I bet Christobal is younger than me but older than Tiamo.

80s music was what young high school kids listened to. We were late teens and early twenties by then. We knew everything and were in our prime with brand new jobs, careers and post secondary school educations.

By the 80s the bands from the 70s were really having to dig deep for new material and most of it sucked. Huge Rush fan but Subdivisions was last album of theirs I bought. Floyd became the Roger waters band after The Wall. Yes' 90125 was meh! Genesis became the Phil Collins band after Pete left. The new music video stations just emphasized the commercialism of music.

Thoroughly jaded and disheartened. Needed the angst of alternative to break out of the musical depression that was the 80s.
