I'm...Hmmm, I might have to defend the eighties. I'm surprised to say that because I have a bias against pop music that is overproduced or overly theatrical, because I feel like that often doesn't wear well.<br /><br />I'd concede that the bad pop hits of the eighties were really, really awful. If you want to hold "Freeway of Love" against the entire decade, I won't argue.<br /><br />But I have affection for songs that are distinctively eighties and also good. I mean, not only is "Bastards Of Young" <a href="http://www.unfogged.com/archives/comments_8003.html#726516" rel="nofollow">well written</a>, it gets extra style points for <a href="http://www.unfogged.com/archives/comments_8003.html#726516" rel="nofollow">the video</a>.<br /><br />Secondly, the eighties were clearly better than the nineties (with the caveat that I don't listen to much rap or hip hop so I'm missing some of the best music of the nineties). <br /><br />But I don't actually need to say that; you have a blog called, "The 80s Didn't Suck" in your links :)NickShttp://www.beforeyoulisten.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-76991968247735297542014-01-14T20:41:54.129-08:002014-01-14T20:41:54.129-08:00Just because there were one or two decent songs fr...Just because there were one or two decent songs from the 80s . . . and technically this one is from 1976.
