Maybe if there had been any good music since the 80's they could fade away gracefully.

Any group that can have people believing that they were an 80s group when they were performing 20 years earlier has got to have something! I saw the Stones in the 60s and they are as great, if a little greyer, today! My daughter saw them last year in London and loved them and they are not just playing their 60s +70s music.
OK I can no longer drool over their looks ( why is it that one never thinks people one had crushes on in one's youth will ever get old! Saw Paul Mc. recently and thought oh my god he's a pensioner! Forgot I'm nearly there myself!), but their music is still supreme.

And hes just a "tad" different:) But he just came out with a new Album that seems to be doing pretty good.


"Pretty good" Now that must be the understatement of the day. I guess those artist, hanging on to old fame, do it because they have an audience, there are people buying their music, going to their concerts. Nostalgia being the key-word.

I'm surprised we didn't see a Rolling Stones image win a ribbon in the 80's Challenge.

What scared me was the other day on the radio I heard that Alexa Ray Joel was opening for someone, I thought "OH MY is she that old already?"
Alexa Ray Joel

Hard to think that the bands we loved now have kids with bands.

Kids of rock

damn I'm old :(

Cindi, if I look as good as you when I am your age...

Well, not possible without expensive and invasive surgery. :-P

LOL--Great thread! I'm right there with you (graduated high school in '88). I'm in agreement with you guys on Prince--strange? absolutely. brilliant? absolutely! And I've got to admit, of all the hair bands I liked in the 80s, I still respect (and can listen to) Bon Jovi--even some of their new stuff is pretty good. Although I guess my biggest guilty pleasure from the 80s is to OCCASIONALLY listen to my Poison or Motley Crue greatest hits CDs. Not often, mind you, but I still get a kick out of that stuff. "Girls, Girls, Girls" indeed, but nowadays I have to duck flying objects from my wife if I mention the subject. :o)
I'm going to see Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson in cnoncert next week, and this thread reminded me that they both released their first music in the 80s (okay, Eric's CD first came out in March of 1990, but close enough!). That's scary, as it doesn't seem that long ago. I remember bringing my "Surfing With The Alien" cassette(!) to my guitar teacher and saying "here, I want to learn this". Well THAT never happened. :o
Ah the 80s--the memories weren't ALL good, but they are all mine. Sounds like something I would have written in a year book...

If we're getting rid of 80's hangers on, can we PLEASE dump some of the trends, too? Starting with mullets/tails, the color combination of mauve & teal (especially in silk floral arrangements) and slouch socks!

Of course, in the '80s, there was plenty of 30-year-old music around...maybe '80s music is the new '50s music.

Someone told me (and I think its great advice)
Fashion runs in 20 year cycles. If you wore it last time, you're too old to wear it next time! lol

Well, if it's any comfort, the kids I see wearing them were not old enough to remember them the first time around :D I didn't wear them last time. Does that mean I get to wear them this time ;)

My first concert was Suicidal Tendencies at Perkins Palace in Pasadena.

Sometime in 1983, I think... It was totally unreal.
