Pretentious even in their film choice. I think the plan was that it would go colour after a while, but the Edge looked really stupid in a lion costume and Bono went off in a strop because there weren't enough rubies on his slippers. So that put paid to that plan. Adam Clayton, interestingly, has carried on method acting as the Tin Man ever since, and hardly anyone has noticed.

Members axegrinder Posted June 16, 2010 Members Share Posted June 16, 2010 One issued/problem/fact, as evidenced by some remarks on this thread, is the 80s were when people really started to get hung up on little labels and categories and subgenres. What passed for "rock" in the 60s and 70s was pretty broad. {censored} it, from now on rock and roll to me means Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Bill Haley, and Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps. Hmmm 80's? CHECKRock? CHECK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dparr Posted June 16, 2010 Members Share Posted June 16, 2010 This should be a VERY short thread. But it probably won't. ^ This sums it up very well. ^ Looking through this thread I see that for the most part the '80s really sucked music wise. I'd forgotten just how bad it was.

I'd forgotten just how bad it was. I think perspective has a lot to do with it. I "came of age" in the 80's and think the 90's and current music sucks for the most part. If you came of age in the 60's or 70's I can see where you'd look down your nose at the music that followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members enuenu Posted June 16, 2010 Members Share Posted June 16, 2010 ..I'd forgotten just how bad it was. I haven't. These were my formative years musically. However I spent the decade listening to Hendrix, Zep, Stones and my Dad's massive jazz collection (no choice on that last one, but I dug some of it). I did work experience at a recording studio when I was at school. A very successful (domestically) Australian pop band were recording a big selling album at the time. They flounced around in their '80s gear while I sat in the corner with my black Fender t-Shirt and jeans on. I knew they hated me and I bailed after 3 days of being totally ignored. This sums up the 80s for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mediocreplayer Posted June 16, 2010 Members Share Posted June 16, 2010 Well that took a bit longer than I expected.How could a band called "The Police" ever be considered Rock? DQ'd on the name alone. As for the cool pop they produced, to call it Rock would be like introducing a dancer from the Bolshoi as the Sergeant at Arms of the Hells Angels. Some of their stuff seems pretty rockin' to me: [YOUTUBE]W2h5a7fqz-Q[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
