True...the mainstream 80's were so shite. Cant understand all this revival crap.
At least I had crass, stonehenge, free festivals, the beastie boys, the tube, decent morrocan hashish, herbie hancock, squat parties, early acid house, warehouse parties on the south circular and space dust.
Without the above i would have surely ended it all in 1983, more than likely garroted myself with my own mullet.

Not for the faint of heart. Try to make it through the whole thing without smashing your computer, it's a challenge.

the mainstream ANY decade is shite.
There was plenty of awesome stuff around in the 80's and way more technology progress. If things had progressed as fast in this decade as they had in the 80's, we'd all be playing brain synthesizer and telepathically getting awesome grooves.
The SSS stuff was just a joke. Take it for what it is. This decade has produced the least amount of decent music, the 70s, 80s and 90s all had major highlights as well as a lot of dross. This decade is almost all about the dross.
You have to remember that in the early to mid 80's most people were recording on tape portastudios with monosynths or 4 voice poly synths, that sampling was exciting but 8 bit and restricted to about 2 seconds at 8 Khz for the greater part of the decade, that MIDI only came out in 1982 and only really mainstream popular from about early 1984. Computers in recording only really caught on big in the last couple of years and for MIDI sequencing only. But having all this innovation lead us to better things in the 90s and beyond. The DX7 was a 4 grand synth in 1984, it had 32 presets, no onboard FX, mono sound, a horrible manual, wasn't multitimbral and only had rudimentary MIDI. Yet it was big news and everyone wanted one !
