Maybe cos it was the era that I left school (84) but even to this day, it was the best music ever ...
And one of my personal favourites
Worst music decade since the forties, absolute pap.
Apart from some of my favourite bands came to the fore, but they did start earlier.
When will people realise that whatever decade they grew up with was their own favourite.... (I personally love the 60's)Fucking hell. A decade that gave us Depeche Mode, The Smiths, Talk Talk, Blancmange, Tears for Fears etc etc cannot be called "absolute pap".
It got pap later on with the Americanisation of the charts, crappy ballards and SAW but from 80-85...what a time.
Especially if you liked the synth stuff.
