[quote=WontPostMuch]Unfortunately the 80s were a dark time in human history where things like good music and fashion mysteriously disappeared, replaced by synths so outdated even The Doors would blush and the same talentless hack was writing all rock songs.it is a well known fact that awful bands like Bob Jovii, Journey and U2 were led by the same asshole. U can tell by the dumb lyrics trying to sound inspirational and the boring music that blends into one giant blur of pretentiousness. Thankfully the horrible atrocity that "music" had become was vanquished decisively by the American Hero Reagan with his cultural revival program DARE that made sure white ppl would forever be free from the clutches of cocaine but widely available to dah blacks. Thus the natural order of society was restored in one fell swoop, ensuring that white ppl would no longer dominate music once and for all and paving the way for the gangsta rap of the 90s to take over.

I dislike Bono as much as the next guy, but The Joshua Tree is an amazing album.

[quote=fradddd]@WontPostMuch blasphemy. You probably like 90's cartoons and rap.[/quote]

With the exception of Ren & Stimpy, I think modern cartoons are a lot better! Regular Show >90's craptoons.

The only music from the 80's I really like is punk. So I don't think that I'd be much help here haha
