so we’re listening to 80’s retro radio courtesy of live365.com at work right now.
Its such a sin.
There’s just virtually nothing redeeming about the 80’s. Oddly, though I was but a pup in the 80’s, I know some of the word to almost every song I hear.
Maybe the 80’s was where lyrics held pre-eminence in music, as the singing itself is generally much clearer than anything that preceded or followed it.
Compare even artists such as Madonna now vs.
Madonna then - you can *always* clearly hear the words in her 80’s tunes.
Not so much anymore.
The melodies seems very secondary then, whereas now the ‘atmosphere’ created by the song as a whole seems to be more important.
Any thoughts?
