I had a friend who was badmouthing Phil Collins a couple months ago. I really don't think I can be friends with him anymore.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

I love all music from all era pretty much. One of my favorite songs is A horse with no name it early 70's jam

but I agree the 80's best period for movies.

John Hughes movies were the best. And they typically had great soundtracks.

The 80's were a lot of fun. The 70's were bleak though. Lots of urban decay, crappy economy, high unemployment, drugs, poverty, gas prices, etc. Though some of the best movies of all time came out of that bleakness and grittiness of the 70's.

I find that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Take a look at the lyrics of Ball of Confusion, a song by the Temptations during the early 70's...not much has changed in 40+ years.

People movin' out
People movin' in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me, and I'll set you free
Rap on brother, rap on
Well, the only person talking
'Bout love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems,
Nobody is interested in learning
But the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration,
Integration, aggravation,
Humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today

The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walk around with
Their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time
And, the beat goes on

Air pollution, revolution, gun control,
Sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon
Kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will
Solve everything
And the band played on
So round and round and round we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knows
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yea, that's what the wold is today

Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast,
The Beatles' new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is
On an indian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand,
Population out of hand
Suicide, too many bills, hippies moving
To the hills People all over the world, are shouting
End the war
And the band played on.

i wish i was in my 20s and 30s during the 80s


the music was good, sports were full of passion, coke was cheap and gun laws were lenient
