It’s undeniable. Wherever I go – the mall, a museum, the zoo, 80’s rock reigns. Entire radio stations are devoted to 80’s (most add 70’s without being “classic” stations) rock. Now admit this. There are no radio stations devoted to the 90’s. None. Or to the decade we’re in now (what do we call it?). Look at the movies. Right now, Mama Mia is playing, featuring ABBA (yes, began in the 70’s).
I could go on and on, but I wish you younger people would admit the inability of your generation to even approach the musical standard set by my generation. I like some recent stuff, but as a whole it just doesn’t have the same “stuff”.
To all of you young’uns: Bow to the gods of 80’s rock! Submit! “We are the champions, my friend…”
there will probably be people saying the same thing in 20 years about current Rock.
