Ronnie James pwns joo. I mean, the dood is almost 70 and still rocks like a god.
80s actually had some good music. You just have to look for it. As any time with a musical "happening," it had much crap covering the gems IMO. One thing I'd like to remove from the 80s though, are the Smiths and Morrissey. While I like them, I blame emo on them.
