I hate the 80's bodybuilding went freaky

[Option D]

no.. the decade is not alright.. even tough Untouchables came out then

[YngiweRhoads]

Excellent point, and well said. Another one taken too early. From the first note, an unmistakable sound. Never saw him live, to my shame, but did see the Thunderbirds a couple of times.  

Wish I could've seen SRV live as well. Shame about the 'copter crash. All of us musicians were taken aback by that one.

Thundercats was a little after my time but I'll raise you a Herculoids and call.

[Lundgren]

yeah 80s were all bad.. gay music.. gay people.. dudes dancing around.. movies like "wild Cats" came out.. everyone was on drugs.. thats my theory

Meh is wasn't bad bad, it was just a transition time, where everything went to shit(coke was a factor). Most bands that were good in the 80's were better in the  90's/70's, with the exception of metalica, even the black album by sales was way the fuck better.

80's was a time when quality control didn't exist, as shit was changing too fast. Inbetween times always suck, as the old gets thrown out for being old regardless even if it was better. The 80's was a time of reinvention anything that worked was carried over to the 90's anything that was unique to the 80's was unique because it was complete shit. 

[dr.chimps]

Wish I could've seen SRV live. Shame about the 'copter crash. All of us musicians were taken aback by that one.

Thundercats was a little after my time but I'll raise you a Herculoids and call.  

Ha! Sorry, bro. My bad. I meant the The Fabulous Thunderbirds, which had Jimmie Vaughn, his older brother in the lineup.

/no idea who, or what, the herculoids are, so ya got me there.  

[YngiweRhoads]

All these bands were in their prime in the 80's.

Priest
Maiden
Metallica
Megadeth
Slayer
Anthrax

Scorpions ( I prefer their 70's shit personally )
Forbidden
Queensryche
Ozzy
Fates Warning
Exodus
Testament
Kreator
Dio
Annihilator
Sacrifice
Death Angel
Suicidal Tendencies

Black album sold more the because it sucked ass and the general public likes entertainment that sucks ass.

[YngiweRhoads]

Well I can't account for you liking shit music, maiden and ozzy were way the fuck better in the seventies. Slayer was better in the 90s. The rest is shit music.

Maiden's first album was 1980 and Ozzy was still with Sabbath in the 70's. Ozzy's first 2 albums with RR are classics and still revered and Bark and Ultimate Sin with Jake aren't far behind.

You wouldn't know half those bands or their respective 80's catalogs, and I could name off 100 more bands you probably never heard of. Thrash was born in the 80's and it's seminal recordings are all 80's birthed.

Thrash is shit music for the most part.  Iron maiden made there repetitive sound in the 70's and everything that followed was just a rehashing. And ozzy was shit compared to sabbath.

Black sabbath created fucking heavy metal, grunge, and nu metal, it was one of the most influential bands ever. Ozzy was shit he had like 2 descent songs, and the rest was pure shit.

Grunge and Nu-metal? wtf.

You can lump those in with rap/hip-hop as far as musicianship goes.

[Lundgren]

Dude how is that even arguable, every grunge band ever linked black sabbath as a magor influence, and the whole  nu metal thing was a going back to the sabbath formula minor pentaonic riffs, versus 80's guitar wanking,

Black sabbath was way better than ozzy.

Here's a clue. All grunge and nu-metal are composed of simplistic tripe, and they, grunge more so, killed music for 10 years. The 90's were a horrible decade for music and musicians, and the music reflected that. Gladly, people came to their senses again in the late 90's, valued a musical education, and learned how to play their instruments again.

Another child of the lame-ass 90's. Great.

Preferred 70's actually, back when their was still some level of taste in music.

The 80's had skill but that's it. No taste, no taste I repeast no taste. From electronic drums, to superstrat shit guitars, transitor amps, absense of bass, super cheezy synths and the list goes on.

The 80's was like a casette, lacks all the good qualities of past(records sound way the fuck better than tapes.) with none of the good qualities of the present(cd's again trump casettes).
But that exactly what the 80's was. Shit all round. Sure every guitarist could wank but the same writing ability was the shits.
Just look at maiden(one of the best bands of the 80s') there song writing was beyond repetitive, because they always had to be hard core or some shit.

What do think about artists like Neil Young who argue that CDs lack the integrity and 'warmth' of LPs?

Careful. It's a trick question.

The 80's had skill but that's it. No taste, no taste I repeast no taste. From electronic drums, to superstrat shit guitars, transitor amps, absense of bass, super cheezy synths and the list goes on.

The 80's was like a casette, lacks all the good qualities of past(records sound way the fuck better than tapes.) with none of the good qualities of the present(cd's again trump casettes).
But that exactly what the 80's was. Shit all round. Sure every guitarist could wank but the same writing ability was the shits.
Just look at maiden(one of the best bands of the 80s') there song writing was beyond repetitive, because they always had to be hard core or some shit.

I agree with you on the quality of 70's music. The music world was quite different than it is today and being different back then was actually a good thing. Not arguing that Sabbath wasn't as great as they are today with regards to their musical influence. I've always referred to them as the first 'real' metal band, but more people are influenced by Metallica, Megadeth, Priest and Maiden than Sabbath these days who all had stellar 80's outings.

Around the end of the decade during 7th Son of a 7th Son, Maiden began to run out of ideas and should have packed it in, imo. But their best works were their first 5 albums. I'd hardly call those songs repetitive a la Nickelback or some Aussie band whom shall remain nameless.    Maiden was known for galloping triplets on their rhythms, but there are probably less than 5 songs with that rhythmic style out of the 60 or so songs. Don't know what you mean by 'hard core'.

btw...Back in the 80's we still played vinyl. Cassettes were around but we still mostly listened to LP's unless we were in a vehicle.

LOLOL.....NIckelback

they literally sound like a Mountain Dew commercial........horrib le

i'm kinda in the middle....I wasn't a big fan of the tinny speed metal sound of the 80's or even worse...the hair metal

but I agree that those MFers could PLAY....but music isn't all about muscianship to an average person, or we would all be Jazz fans.

Im sure no one would ever call Kurt Cobian a virtuoso guitarist but he wrote some great songs...absolute classics

Yes, I wasn't a fan of the Compressor/Chorus/Delay solid state sound either. Didn't care too much for hair metal as I consider it pop, for the most part. Hair metal was getting too out of hand by the late 80's and early 90's.

Nirvana, AIC and Soundgarden all made some great music to be sure too, but rock fell off the map for the most part for almost 10 years and went underground after Nirvana hit. There were exceptions of course, Pantera, Tool etc.

Jazz rules btw.

Music went DRASTICALLY DOWNHILL after 83. Thriller by M. Jackson was the beginning of the end... By da way, Jackson's previous album Off the Wall, was pretty damn tight, actually.
