There were some good artists: Prince, Dire Straits, U2, Kate Bush, Eurhythmics, Tina Turner, Talking Heads, David Bowie, and early pre-1984/Jump Van Halen. Most of the rest of the singles/pop hits played on MTV and the radio were horrible.
Agreed. I love New Wave and Punk but forgot about them while I was writing that post.The 80s are a pivotal decade for the music I like (metal and punk). There was a lot of experimentation, and a lot of bands had an authentic sound because of that. The synth-heavy new wave thing started to get on my nerves after a while, though, outside of a band like Talk Talk. Depeche Mode was okay, I guess.
