- It has been a long time since I've been on this sig, but if you
- have been here awhile, you know I always cast my opinion. On
- this subject, I believe that the 80's sound was the best.
- Loverboy, Journey, Night Ranger, Rick Springfield, Def Leppard,
- Donnie Iris (he's from Cleveland), Queen, and so on. There was
- also some good music in the late 70's (Classic Rock). But I must
- agree that a lot of today's hits that are played on the radio
- really bite the big one! Sir Mix-a-Lot? Warrant? What are
- today's kids buying? Some of them don't even know who the
- Eagles were!!! But if you look at some of the music out that is
- not being played on the radio, there are still some good old
- musicians and some good new ones too. Old: Bon Jovi, Bryan
- Adams, Genesis, Def Leppard, Inxs (still cranking out some good
- new music today). New: Pearl Jam (kind of an early 80's
- electric sound) , The Spin Doctors, The Black Crowes, and the
- Damn Yankees are putting out some good new music. I don't think
- that these groups and other new good groups get the revenues or
- make the money of the dance musicians because the audience is
- different. Kids buy the dance beat stuff--but it is a fad.
- Sir-Mix-Alot won't be heard ten years from now, but the Damn
- Yankees will. Just my two cents on this one!!
