You are an old fart

ga

Any year before rap destroyed the world was a great year.

You are a fart in a hurricane; irrelevant.

probably not as good as the 60's or the 90's or early 2000's sorry you were born too late or early depending.

Especially the muscle cars.

Stinky old fart sounds

the 1950s were the Pinnacle of American Civilization.
We're on a downward slope since then.

shaved bush was not cool in the 80s you lose

kiddie porn had not yet perverted you and the nation

More cowbell.

You had to use a lot of Aquanet in the 80s to remember this one. You had to be one with the hair. :-)

This is just embarrassing, but for the sake of documentation..., yes, I owned this album.

BINGO

60's were a trip. 70's were awesome some of the best music was made then. 80's big hair bands were good and memorable. After that it just all runs together.

Pfft.

Moar power ballad

Can't have a proper 80s curriculum without George.

1970


Not just the music. The Lyrics were amazing.

"I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make
True happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late".

1976












1971


1978




The 70's were AMAZING. Just turn on the radio and lose your mind.

Let's do it again!

OK, the 80's had their moments as well.

The 80s was like a ship sinking while the band played on.

I remember having the distinct feeling even as a teen that "this party can't go on forever".

But we did get a few jewels out of that decade.

ah the 80's.... the age of actual real tits, fresh trimmed v-muff, and beautiful women with NO nasty fucking tattoos

There's really great stuff going on right now.

It's just on top 40.

There's positive and creative material out there, it's that social media has segmented everything so much that nobody can get together and have a real time of it.

You would think that the internet would have connected people more.

It didn't. I have never been more connected to people than pre-internet.
