an article in the sun a few weeks back posed the same question,50s,60s,70s,90s but completed wrote off the 80s as a complete disaster when it came to music.this is where i really get pissed off at lazy music journalists/critics,because the 80s were far and away the best decade when it came to innovative and original artists that changed the musical landscape over the next 24 years.maybe if these 'so-called' journalists would turn off the radio and put down their copy of rolling stone they would realize this fact and do some research before they go an slag a entire decade of music,honestly who hires these fucking wankers?If they had any sense they would realize that the 90s were the epitome of shit and the 80s was the revolutionary decade.i will now procede to list just some of the awesome artists/bands/groups that released some of the best music in the last 40 years,so bear with me
