Wasn't the 80s when the Middle East was in flames, Iran was running wild, oil prices tumbled, and we had a crazy president that was going to destroy the world?

Actually.. the 80's are dead to me.. I was so busy with work and side consulting jobs, the whole decade is a blur.. and 80's music sucked.. so that makes it less memorable too. Posted by: Chi-Town Jerry at March 29, 2015 07:59 PM (/9Mak) 6

People always think one era, decade, year is somehow 'specially significant. The 80's were probably BIG to kids coming of age. Others, not so much. Probably the last era when I actually paid attention to pop music with any consistency. I have no idea what's popular now or not.

80's sucked musically. It was catchy, but decadent and vulgar, paving the way to self hatred and capitulation to militant Islam. I prefer Pink Floyd, or Jefferson Airplane. It was good music, without the airbrushed schlockiness of the 80s.

I came of age in the 70s, but I gravitated towards 60s music at the time. I was never very fond of either 70s or 80s music. Sure, there's some good stuff in every decade, but most of it doesn't appeal to me. To continue your chronology, in 2010s we now have crowdsourced funding for recording records. Bands can appeal to their fans to finance the recording of new albums, and offer downloads and physical discs. This completely cuts out record companies and record stores and renders them obsolete. Musicians can interact with their fans directly, one-on-one. My favorite 1980s band, 10,000 Maniacs, has gone this route. They released an album of new material in 2013, "Music From the Motion Picture", and they have another one coming out in April, "Twice Told Tales", which consists of covers of traditional folk songs from the British Isles. Both were pre-funded by their fans via PledgeMusic. And we pledgers got to watch and hear the albums as they were being made, with periodic online updates from the recording and mixing sessions. That's pretty cool. Posted by: rickl at March 29, 2015 09:05 PM (sdi6R) 90

I saw U2 live in 1983 and 1985. They were a damn good live band, and Bono is--for all his well-documented faults--was a natural leader, and very charismatic.'It's fashionable to hate them because they seem to be old hat--although they had no problem selling out this upcoming tour--and I don't know anyone younger than 35 who doesn't hate them.
I said it before, Bono will always have my respect because he never took cheap, easy shots at Bush--or Jesse Helms, or any Republican. He treated them with respect and got results. Witless American rockers like Springsteen never accomplished anything because they just refused to sit down with conservatives. God forbid, they get a photo op out of it....

Posted by: otho at March 29, 2015 09:13 PM (tBSrv) Even so, the indie bands of the 1980s started out that way but still wanted to be signed to a major label. 10,000 Maniacs followed that path. Today, that's apparently unnecessary, except for those who simply want to get rich and become celebrities. But actual musicians can bypass that, if they just want to make their own music without interference and are OK with not getting rich in the process.

Posted by: rickl at March 29, 2015 09:25 PM Yeah, it's a totally different business these days. It's true that most, if not all bands of the early 80's wanted a major deal... but, there were pro's and con's to doing it when indies were making big inroads and getting serious radio play. Not all took the deals on offer, they were usually onerous, restrictive contracts for little in the way of %ages. The majors were still operating on the mid 70's model. The downside to a major contract was that it could kill your career as a band, while not providing all that much more in $$$. You could end up owing THEM $$$. A big factor in going major was the draw of videos. Back then, video was hella expensive and this was before MTV. If you wanted to get serious AM play you needed video. But, you could still do well on FM as indie and sell bucketloads and for longer than you might if you went major, got a video, but the major would kill, rip you off or bury you through sucky distribution and promotion.

U2
Hampton Coliseum. December, 1987. Wasn't even a fan, but it was a concert, so... The Bodeans opened for them , but I don't remember any of it. I ate more mushrooms that night than any human should in a lifetime. Tripped balls. At intermission, lights came on, I instantly was fine. Euphoric, to say the least. Then U2 came onstage and it was the greatest concert I've ever seen, heard, or been to. I still don't like their music, but it's a show that you shouldn't miss.
