80's pop music (dancing, The Cure, The Smiths, Blondie, Wham!)

So, cmon. 80's pop owns. Looking back on the likes of The Smiths, Tears for Fears, Flock of Seagulls, The Cure, U2, Echo and the Bunnymen, ect. All those great 80's musicmakers.

We all like something from the 80's, whether we want to admit it or we do not. ~<(".<)

80s pop is way better than the stuff you get now. The Cure are probably the best example of it: Great pop songs, great 80s hair dos, great 80s clothes etc.

Blondie are pretty good as well.

Omg 80s was the best with Bananarama, Cyndi Lauper, Wham! etc thats whats called REAL music, now its just ...well.... some songs can be pretty good but the 80s were the best era for music and i think everyone will always remember the 80s as the best decade

It's sad that I know who these people are.

I'll give my two cents.
Pop has really changed over the course of time. it went from stuff people could listen to, relate to and enjoy to something that half ways sounds like a drowing rat that should be shot for it's misery.

I like Cyndie Lauper. Although I'm more of a Madonna person in terms of how people percieve me. Although my hair is currently green red and blue. . .
And Blondie ruled a far as I know.
I do not consider U2 pop. I consider them alternative rock.
Same thing with The Cure.

I am proud to say that I own a Depeche Mode and Wham album. And the Cars are unbelievable. 'My Best Friend's Girl' is probably my favorite song by them. Although I don't really consider them pop. But who knows. I wasn't around during their reign of the pop charts so I just classify them based on my interpretation their music.

And sice this is a pop thread and you guys have yet to mention this band I will.
New Kids on the Block is one of my favorite groups of all time. Marky Mark (Mark Wahlberg) was cute even then. And the music is so awesome. And funny.

Wow.
Memory Lane sure makes me feel a whole lot older.

OK, I agree with you as far as classification. But they were popular, and as we all know, that is what pop is. It makes no difference what the music genre is, if it's popular, it's pop music, so I agree with you as far as classification, but hell, it's still pop!
