I agree with that assessment. Except that I prefer nail fungus. :)

I grew up in the 1970s. I prefer the 1980s from a US historical perspective, no doubt.

late 80'were great
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

I found the 60's music nostalgia in the late 80's more powerful than the current 80's music. Most of my peers (born mid 70's) did as well. It was a time to tune out Whitney Houston and Wilson Phillips and return to the raw musical talent of the 60's. Luckily, the politics of the 60's didn't stick.
Rock On Metalheads!

Nothing wrong with a little hair metal...fun, fast, and catchy. Much better than the "I-hate-myself-and-want-to-die" grunge acts of the 90s, or the "My-music-sucks-so-bad-you-want-to-kill-yourself" music of this decade (see: Spears, Britney).
Not again.
Slayer anyone??

Please...no grunge revival. We need that like we need another Jimmy Carter.
The best music to come out of the 80's was Stevie Ray Vaughn.
I'd rather listen to some of the worst hair bands of the 80's (Winger), than most of today's junk.
Although I prefer the 70's through mid 80's stuff better. AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Van Halen, Montrose, as well as Southern Rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, and Molly Hatchet.
