80s music

I grew up in the late 80s so i had the pleasure of growing up during what i consider the absolute high point of all time musical endeavor. It might have been from all the coke that was flowing into music in the 80s but who knows. Recent bands like fischerspooner, cut copy, goldfrapp, and ladytron have adopted alot of the typical 80s synthesized sound into their music with awesome results.
Here are a few songs of typical 80s sound that i think embody what is so untouchable about 80s music.

I'd go ahead and say after the 50s and before the 2000s, the 80s was the worst decade for music.

Except for Talking Heads.

I'd be happy to debate this out. However I don't see how it makes me an idiot if it's a completely subjective matter. Talking Heads is one of my favorite bands ever, so there's something from the 80s I like. There's plenty more good stuff too. I'm just saying that when it comes to the majority of the music, the 80s was relatively bad compared to the 90s, 70s, and 60s.

True. The 80s blew for music. Stick to the 60s and 70s and you'll be the most musically cultured of any of your friends.

I wouldn't come remotely close to saying that the 80's were the best musical generation but I sure do love me some synth and new wave.
