We must've had vastly different experiences. Of course, you were graduating from high school and I was in junior high. I loved the late 80's. i wasn't crazy about much mainstream music in the '80s at all, even from when i was in grade school or junior high, though i WILL admit to michaelmania when i was in junior high school, and of course olivia. i liked a bit of the new wave/gender bender stuff, of course - eurythmics, culture club, cyndi lauper, etc. it wasn't until the early/mid '90s when mainstream caught up with alternative for a bit that i enjoyed what was in the top 40, and we all know how long THAT lasted. i like LOTS of cheesy top 40 stuff from the 70s.  | |

SoulAlive said: What I hate most about the late 80s is that annoying,programmed,over-synthesized sound that you hear on so many of those songs
 y'all know the songs I'm talking about (Billy Ocean's "Get Outta My Dreams,Get Into My Car",which went to Number One in 1988,is a prime example).These days,that music sounds horribly dated.Bingo. Don't know if they did that Billy Ocean song but that fucking Stock Aitken Waterman production was horrible. 87-89 had U2 Joshua Tree, George Michaels Faith, INXS Kick, MJ Bad, Def Leppard Hysteria (my guilty pleasure  ), The Cult were pretty big, Guns N Roses Appetite, sure there was loads of rubbish but it's not so bad a time in music | |

OK, I just wanted to mention a few songs from this period, some of which I liked at the time (I was starting in elementary school at the time though ) and also some tracks I've discovered since.
Loved this video when I was seven  : Queen - Invisible Man
Michael Jackson - Liberian Girl Roachford - Cuddly Toy Salt N' Pepa - Push It OK, this one is not really "late" 80s but I believe it belongs to the second half of the decade, anyway it's a great song: Prefab Sprout - Johnny Johnny And here's one just for fun : Mötley Crüe - Girls, Girls, Girls | |

What about Roger/Zapp, Cameo, Teena Marie, Prince, and E.U.? You lived by "The Funk Only Rule". I had to put you on the spot. I prefer Cameo's 70s and early 80s material to their later output. I think Word Up! is highly overrated. They had 100x times better albums in the 70s. Zapp's first three albums were released in 1980, 1982 and 1983. Not exactly the late eighties It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

What about Roger/Zapp, Cameo, Teena Marie, Prince, They had some decent stuff but it was weak compared to their early 80s stuff. You lived by "The Funk Only Rule". I had to put you on the spot. That's why I have the highest respect for Funkenstein. I think he's only around age 19 and for someone that young to love funk that much and refuse to lower their standards to anything else, they get my full respect. . .

There are more but I would have to really do some thinking. Funk was becoming scarce in those days. A certain little miss goodie two shoes Barbi doll (black Paris Hilton) had made her mark and was influencing people in those days.

I think there was some excellent music released in the late '80s. '87 in particular, was a great year...
U2 - Joshua Tree George Michael - Faith Prince - Sign 'o' the Times Sting - Nothing Like the Sun REM - Document Eurythmics - Savage The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love Depeche Mode - Music For the Masses Fleetwood Mac - Tango in the Night Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction INXS - Kick Pet Shop Boys - Actually The Smiths - Strangeways Here We Come and I'll even admit to loving the first three songs on the Who's That Girl soundtrack... ...all from 1987 I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |
