On the other hand, it might be okay to condemn the Rock of that decade purely on the basis of Rick Astley saturation. LOL!
Yup, forgot about REM. I loved their stuff during the 80s. Then Stipe got all self-important and with a couple of exceptions they sucked. That's another band I have a hard time listening to anymore, even the early good stuff, because of Stipe's in-your-face gaydom these days. The Smithereens were another good 80s band.
