Do you permanently live in the 80's as you seem to slag off every other form of music in every other decade except the 80's?
As pretty much EVERYONE else here does about everyone else's music? I've been trashed a few times about diggin the 80s.

I grew up in the 80's and there was just as much crap as there was good.
No arguement there, but ther wre also alot more successful bands IMO, then today? I'm not "stuck in the 80s", I just dont find today's music that interesting, or groundbreaking/entertaining. I grew up in the 80s as well, and I enjoy the music alot, so what?

Just about the same for every other decade in modern music and that's why I refuse to be stuck in one decade.
Again no arguement. I like a little bit of stuff from say 92-on...just dont go shouting from rooftops about it, as so many here do. I like a handful of bands/songs, and you'd probably "slag off" the stuff I do like currently? that's your right to do so.

Not many know this, but here's some stuff "currently" that I do like: I'm a huge Ice Cube fan, I love System of a Down, Rage Against The Machine, NIN, Jazz, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, Carrie Underwood, Vertical Horizon, Daughtry, Heaven & Hell, Pearl Jam(some), Chris Cornell/Velvet Revolver, Counting Crows, Boys II Men, The Beastie Boys, R&B, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Kaiser Chiefs, and a few others I cant think of.

Being a great band rarely equates to album sales and mag covers etc. I generally try to listen to bands who are the opposite because they are more interesting and being a music fan to me is continuingly looking for new sounds and bands to keep my interest going whilst still appreciating my roots and favourites.
Great point...I was simply using DD as an example.
