      My favorite era. And it's not even close.

        Pearl Jam: Vitalogy. It was good. IMO, I think Yield was their best album from top to bottom. Ten (bonus points if you got the Euro version with the bonus tracks) is a close second.
        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          Beyond your opinion of Earth, Wind, and Fire (again, White People), you also indirectly blast Minnesota’s own Prince, which I thought was a felony there.

              Cynthia: I call it the "every other decade" theory. The 50's were boring. The 60's rocked. The 70's, my god, they obviously suck. So maybe the 80s will be like, radical. I figure we'll be in our 20's and hey, it can't get any worse.

              And JFC, Scooby Jr, dial it back a bit...

                  Were you there? Then you wouldn't know.

                  If all you have to go on is current nostalgia for neon colors, bracelets, big hair, Duran Duran and Culture Club, I can see why you'd have that impression.

                    Right, but joking stubbornness aside, I can evaluate every decade on its own merits today. Which is what I’m doing with my rankings.

                      I would have that impression also. However, there's also the explosion of hip-hop and metal (hair or otherwise).

                        Is there really any other? A handful of exceptions (Jimi, EWF, Living Colour), but...

                        Those old blues influencers were blues, I don't count them as part of what defines "rock".

                          ...and that's why it's so gloriously bad, that it's good!

                          Yeah, I hear you. It's terrible music, but for the most part, I love it. Blow me.

                          It's like Kep and The Bachelor or whatever.

                            The thing is, a lot of it wasn't terrible music. Just a lot of the terrible music was what was popular. As with any other decade.

                            And that's the stuff people remember of the 80's.

                              IMO this is a simplistic view.

                              The 'Born in the USA' and 'Come on Eileen' stuff was pretty soulless. But the magic of the 80s was its off center material, which was probably the best in recent history, starting with Blondie and ending with acts like the Cure.

                              1970s: a very strong decade of music with stuff like the Stones and Fleetwood Mac - music had soul, but could be too folksy
                              1980s: great off center stuff but mainstream stuff was pretty mediocre
                              1990s: solid decade of music with alternative carrying the load...it just took the 80s great off center stuff and made it mainstream
                              2000s: decent decade with some of its best work in metal or harder rock including tool and nine inch nails
                              2010-15: ok period with some creative music but at this stage real soul behind music was pretty much gone
                              2015-date: bad period with few bright spots such as highly suspect with soul and real meaning largely gone

                                'Born in the USA' is a song that tells the story about an economically disadvantaged young man who gets into trouble, a judge sentences him to military service, and the service sends him to Vietnam to fight the war. It's something that truly did happen, and more than we as a nation would like to admit.

                                Are you calling it soulless because later on politicians would only pick out the chorus, thinking it's a patriotic tune, and proceed to use it in their campaign rallies?
