pretty much the same reason as u. and, the artists were so much more creative and did the music they wanted to do, and wrote a lot of the songs.and the songs weren't stupid rap songs that all sound the same...

It was over way before its time,,,I dont care,,,Its still
the music for me!!!

80s music is brilliant We got Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Rush, Michael Jackson, Dead or Alive, Green Day began their career then..etc. Although I feel the 60s brought music at its highest peak; the 80s brought sensational love and freedom. What would we do w/o music?

For me, 80s music... or should I say 80s SOUL music is what I still love to listen to.however, artists and groups like LTD, Lakeside, The Whispers,Aurra, Slave, Teena Marie, The SOS Band, etc... and so many more, DO NOT get the credit they deserve. IS there a sit on the internet that pays tribute to the Soul and R&B Artists and Groups of the 80s???

It's just still so friggin' much fun to listen to Motley & Ratt & bands like that... bands back then had great musicians, great songs, great fans & knew how to put on a great show & how to throw a truly great party & to live life to the fullest everyday of the week... it wasn't just the music.. it was a whole lifestyle.. and it still is for many of us middle aged fans ... I'm 41 yrs old & I still love the music & the experiences of the "Crazy 80's"..

I like music heavy with guitar, really heavy and you can find that through out any decade, you just have to be particular in your search. Personally, if there isn't a loud, aggressive guitar on the verge of feeding back on the recording somewhere I don't want to hear it.

I started to dj back in 85 in mexico. thats where I was born and it was hard to get all that great tracks that you heard on the radio. but because I lived close to the boarder. I had access to a lot of vinyl records. by the way vinyl kicks arssssss any ways. as a dj i was exposed to a lot of great bands and many styles of music songs like sweet dreams great electro track and a lot more great tracks to many to list. Im still a dj doing the club and raves and what I seen is that the new tracks that are coming out they have the electro sinth feel. like lmfoa but they are not gonna get there like the old skool stuff that a lot of us like from back then. also i read in one of the comments some thing about reggeton and this is my comment about that subject. I was watching tv one time and that idiot pitbull came on and he was saying that he got his influences from tachno tracks and i was like. what the hell the stuff that you sing or rap is reggeton dont you have to have some bob marley or burning spear influence or any other artist in that style of music.but then again this are new artist if we can call them that

I turned 11 in 1980 and was 20 by the end of the decade, so 80's music is the soundtrack of my youth. While not everything from the 80's was great, there was a lot of groundbreaking stuff back then(Debbie Harry and Madonna, HELLO???? Sorry, but Lady Ga-Ga is a pale carbon copy of the originals)! I was exposed to so many different types of music I probably wouldn't have known otherwise heard, like Bronski Beat,the Thompson Twins, Quarterflash,The Motels,Bananarama, British New Wave, metal, it goes on. I won't slam all music nowadays because there are some great artists who aren't being played on radio, but the 80's brought us, rap music, freestyle/latin-hip-hop(depends on which part of the US), club/house/dance music, metal, rock, and so much more. If it was so bad, why are artists nowadays trying to bring the 80's back(some not very well)?

because nowadays you here a song like "crank dat superman" and it makes u wanna gag! BLECCHHH!! and after that u turn to another station and they are playing "we're not gonna take it" you are pumping your fist, and singin along while driving and other people see u and think you're crazy or just look silly singing along to the music! but u were a KID when u first heard it! i went from 8 to 17 thru the 80s and i would totally relive it if i could!

Okay I was Born In 1994 and I honestly think that the music right now is complete crap i mean All I Listen to is guns n roses the scorpions Whitesnake Def leopard and motley crue I Honestly think that their will never be anything like The Muscic From The 80's The Songs back then shouldnt even be considered songs anymore they should be considered anthems and nothing else those guitar solos that bands used to were great then the music videos even better they would tell you a story not just show girls like the music right now

I could go on and on about The *80's*. I still have that photographic memory of 80's vids, ever since I was 4 years old, 1981, VH1 Classic, please play some Flock of Seagulls, Thompson Twins, Missing Persons, Berlin, Howard Jones--I miss those old vids!!1

I Loved the 8o's as much as Pitt loves Jolie, Solid!!! I wish some1 would do an 80's reunion tour, Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, Flock of Seagulls, Missing Persons, Men at Work..

If u lived at ANY time during the 80's and u can remember Any of it you REALLY could not have been there! Class of 87'.

80's music, I think, was just made to make people happy and put you in a good mood. Music of the last 15 years or so is just angry and depressing. There are enough things going on in the world to make a person angry and depressed already.

The 80s will always rock with me. Being in my 20s through the whole decade was a blast. It could not have timed out any better!!

why did a rock station beep john lennons song last nightI I was at that concert, the song has been around for 30 yrs. women is the ****** of the world, its been played all over who are you to censor our music. how about The patty smith song niger ****** ****** ****** or randy newmen red necks ****** niger and i can think of 10 other songs.****** is not a banned word . If your going to ban our music then dont play it! you niggers

I live for the 80's" I sat in front of the TV watching since 1981". The videoes were amazing!!1 Thompson Twins, Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls etc...

I was born in the early 90's but I was exposed to a little 90s and 80s by people in the family...like from my mom. I think 80s music was clean and understandable but the 90s weren't bad either. I actually usued to like hip hop back then and now its just stupid ryming that doesn't mean ****. Now a days everything is too mainstream and everyones always lables someone for listening to something. Back then you could listen to anything and you weren't accused of being different. I also notice that bands now a days remake the other songs and make it sound so dumb. I can give two exaples. ( songs were remade from Supertramp) and it sounds horrible by the ones that stole it and ruined it. ( Careless Whisper is also another one) and its not from america in the 80s but its from a musician in Japan and they were making music at the same time so yeah. Seether thought they could steel it and thought no one that didn't lieten to foreign music would realise it but we do. Idk that really burns my ass.

Because it will always ROCK with me!!

New Wave was the best of every rock group. Being a true fan of the 80s meant that each band had a couple of hits that introduce you to their type of music, and albums had more than one song hits that made you fall in love with the lyrics. A person could understand the song because the lyrics made perfectly good sense. I LOVE THE 80S 4-EVER!!!!
