My 80s can beat any other decade, Fight me!

1977? .. or thereabouts..

I had a winter place down on the Yucatan back in the 1990's and it was wonderful. We had a lending library for readings, and we played games at night for entertainment, and snorkeled and scuba dived during the day.

Then the internet came in around 2005, and nobody talked to each other anymore. The internet ruined the place, and it became a ghost town at night, with no cocktail parties and social games.

The internet is a curse to social interaction.

Poor Mans Beatles

Our Christian music in the 1980s was better than your top 40 music in the 2020s.

90s love??..

70s...

Look at the city that is in and look at it now. Demographics completely different now. Another 30-40 years and this country will be completely destroyed if it continues unabated.

Born in '65, so yeah, the 80's were awesome for me, so was the first part of the 90's but by that time I started to see/feel what was coming and I left Holland, for a big part for that reason, and it turns out my intuition was on point... 70's were a fantastic time to be a kid.... But I gotta say... the 50's must've been awesome too.... jazz, bebop, the beat generation.... Music (and books) have always been the driving force in my life and for me, the more I listen to it, some of the best (Western) music was made in the 50's, jazz, exotica, early rock 'n' roll, doowop, blues, mambo and a lot of great pop music too, same for the early 60's.... Not beating down on the "hippie" generation, musically speaking, loads ofvgreat stuff to but, in my book, they vouldn't hold a candle compared to those late 40's, 50' jazz cats as far as innovation and skill goes.....

Saw them at a Calvary Chapel in the 80s

I hear ya and a pro Arch argument is a strong one. I liked them both equally.

70's were better.

Right - after the early 90's, no bands, only INDIVIDUALS - self promoting assholes. haha

Beat It

The 80's in America were the best times earth has ever known.

Rocks was there best

Read Brice Taylor and tell me again how much you like Thread: Ronald Reagan: Mind Control Slavery Salesman

You youngsters can always come back to the 80s with us for a little shelter if you need.

Unfortunately.

I blame the record label execs myself.

they controlled who and what was bought out there to the public.

(Below) Voted the top song on radio stations for many years, decades ago..

Saw them in 1987, felt out of place with my vans and Iron Maiden Jersey, lots of spandex

The Beatles were acid-head pedophile hippies, a glorified talentless garage band that wrote catching jingles for soda-pop drinking little girls.

The 1950's actually had talented musicians that played in orchestra sized groups.

They can imitate it today, but it's nowhere near the energy and talent of the original musicians.

more 80s for the win!

70s again .. and a great Buck Dharma solo..

Previously known as Babyface with a line-up of vocalist Edgar Riley, guitarist Bobby Barth, bassist Mike Turpin and drummer Bob Miles and managed by J. Brian Gendimenico (1962-2016), the group adopted the new title of Axe in 1979 when the band added second guitarist Michael Osborne.[1] Signing with MCA Records, by manager Lou Manganiello Jr, Axe released their self-titled debut in 1979 and immediately gained attention with a melodic rock sound comprising heavy guitars mixed with keyboards. Band leader Bobby Barth had first picked up a guitar in 1965, encouraged by his father who was already an accomplished player, although Barth's first interest had been in the drums. As a drummer Barth had made his first public appearance in 1963, but would not play in front of an audience in his new vocation until 1967 at a college gig in Colorado. Barth claims to have no recollections of the bands whose singles he played on early in his professional career, although does recall that his first vinyl appearance was covering a Rolling Stones song, before later forming Babyface.

The band was notable for being photographed on their first LP all sporting B. C. Rich guitars, one of the first bands to use them exclusively.

Following Axe with 1980's Living On The Edge the group switched labels to Atco in 1982 for third album Offering,[1] an album that included the hit anthem "Rock n' Roll Party In The Streets" and a cover of Montrose's "I Got The Fire". The album marked the addition of new bassist Wayne Haner to the ranks and AXE got to tour with Scorpions, Kiss,[2] Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne and ZZ Top. The band also played in Britain during 1983 opening for Iron Maiden.

Following the arrival of the band's fourth album Nemesis and touring with Mötley Crüe in 1984, AXE suffered a setback when guitarist Michael Osborne was killed in an auto crash in which a badly injured Bobby Barth was lucky enough to escape with his life. The band dissolved following the tragedy.[1]
