She Blinded Me with Science (aka 80s music kick ass)

I remember I was 7 or 8, sick at home had taken cough medicine and was laying on my floor(I liked laying all over the cool carpet when I was feverish) with the radio playing on low and this song came on....it was the first time I felt trippy and weird, it seemed so strange and mysterious made me feel abandoned in the world.....

I need to make an "I hate the 80's" thread for those of us who are glad it's over.

I'm not saying that there is no good music outside of the 80s, but it was, in several ways, a decade like no other.

The reason I started this thread, in addition to the above point, is that the music of the aughties has for the most part been about as interesting and exciting as a slice of white bread. Especially in contrast to all that went on in the 80s and 90s.

Oh, there's been some fantastic music in the last decade, you just tend not to hear it on the radio.

True. The sheep lovers need their thread, too. :yes:

You leave Betsy out of it! :mad:

I actually do listen to some 80's stuff, but about 75 % of it I can't stand.

Just FYI, I listen to the radio in my car for about 30 minutes each week, no more. I do listen to radio stations online. Pandora, and Pandora-like stations, both in and out of the US.

Again, I'm not saying that there isn't any good music. Rather, I'm saying that most of it in unimpressive and not original. Each decade since the 40 had a distinct style, or styles, that is spawned. So what has the aughties spawned? What phenomenal groups? Especially those that have staying power?

With computer-aided music now it's easy for these companies to crank out shit after shit, but there are still plenty of dedicated musicians out there making awesome music.... Elvis and the Beatles weren't popular to people our age back in the day, Leif Garrett was the Justin Beiber of his day. I blame it on lack of good drugs or too many straight-edgers, look at the late 60's they had awesome music coming out, not saying that drugs make for the best music, Zappa and Mike Patton are brilliant artists who claim to not have used drugs, but they tapped into something in their own minds that drove them like a drug. And then you have rap's influence on popular music with sampling that has lead to a plague of unoriginality. But the worst thing to hit music is all the focus on vocal talent, with these American Idol based new comers and Youtube foundlings who only have their siren like vocal talent but no real music to back it up and these companies who want to cash in hurry up and run their singing over some half assed beats with empty lyrical content, it's all sizzle and no meat. Reminds me of Motown but they ain't got no Berry Gordy or Smoky Robinson behind the scenes coming up with the classic here to stay songs, they've got non-musicians like Simon Cowell who only know music from a business perspective. The problem is that any band or musician who hopes to have commercial success ends up bending their music to have elements of what's popular whether they're aware of it or not, I saw a local band recently and they had some good sounding music but the lead singer ruined it by overusing autotune, it sounded cool like it was going through some kind of gate and distortion but he sang through it the entire time....if he had just used it sparingly for maybe the chorus of one song in particular it woud have worked but for every song it was just a sell-out gimmick.....

any other decade. I can't help it, I have to pick on you. You are my brother's age, and both of you like shitty 80s.

Hey, I agree a 100%. 00's music started to nosedive, then the shit. I loved 60's, 70's, 90s, and the start of 00s rock. But the 80s is happening all over again when these faggots care more about their image then their music. Rap is very similar to pop 80s in that respect. Worry less about your hair doo and your bling, and more about your instruments. I can't name more than 5 bands in the last 8 or 9 years that had musical talent that wasn't given to them via computer assisted music technologies.
 
80's music, I wondered what the club scene looked like back then:roflmao:

I think it started to dive back in the mid-90s. That's when musicians from all genres, especially rap, started raping old songs.

That was also the end of new genres of music. Really, what new type of music showed up after that point?

Lastly, it was also the time the RIAA figured out that instead of finding the next big thing that they could manufacture it instead.

As for the people in the 80s only caring about their image...well, not so much. Sure, they were full of themselves, but many of them put their music first. Several people killed their careers because they didn't want to "sell out" or because the wanted to "protect the integrity of their art." Is anyone doing that these days? I don't think so.

One of the best club songs of all time. I can remember this song was an awesome beat with the bass when you were drunk.

I despised this song in my youth, I seriously ragged my brother about how gay he was for liking it. Later in my early 20s MDMA altered my brain in a way that made this song incredible along with other music that I thought was gay. It has been said that MDMA can bring out male homosexual tendencies, and this is proof of it.

I have forever been gayed by drugs and now like some gay music. Liking this song has me tittering on the edge of kissing dudes. So let that be a lesson to you kids. Don't do drugs, or you might turn gay.
 
On a related note, if you don't like 80s music, maybe you picked the thread. Go start an "I like 90s cock" thread and gay that up.

I just wanted a thread for people that liked 80s music to talk about it.
