80`s by a nutt hair
Cypress Hill are American rappers.I say they botched Spanish Pop because looking back at a lot of Spanish Pop does not hold up in my opinion. Old Enrique Iglesias is okay and Selena is great but a lot of Spanish Pop especially once they crossed over to the big labels sucks. Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Shakira all had bad English language albums imo. It's disappointing to me because I thought the Spanish "Vuelve" album by Ricky Martin was good and Marc Anthony has some good Spanish salsa albums.
Maybe I just expected too much considering that other Spanish musicians before them had good records and albums such as Cypress Hill and Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine that crossed over into pop.
ok, but what are the greatest songs? 80's definitely was too fantastical though and lala for my and alot of everyone's tastes which is why the backlash was so ferocious in the early 90's. Grunge and Hip Hop both were responsible for decimating the main 80's acts, maybe Madonna notwithstanding (don't know much about her music). MJ, Prince, Springsteen all drastically sold less, Terence Trent D'arby, who really came along too late for that era had the bad luck of creating some of Rock's greatest music and having it totally ignored because his whole thing was passe by 92.80’s was a decade of pure cheddar, 90’s by murder death kill.
I think Grunge certainly has some good music not really a lot of the popular stuff was IMHO pretty generic, I think moreso than the punk/new wave in the late 70's and early 80's which had more room for interesting bands like say Talking Heads getting significant sucess.absolutely they did, I never thought much of that crap or the guys who made it. Not all of it was garbage, it never all is, but I never cared for it at all. I guess every era will have someone saying that "they ruined music" but I really think grunge and hip hop come the closest to taking the cake, the stuff that came after was pretty bad too and that goes on until the present day. Putting technology into everyone's hands hasn't seemed to help a bit even though it democratized it to an extent. Not everyone needs or should be heard and now there is way too much music out there, way too many wanna be stars, being a musician, it's really more pointless than ever.
That's exactly it about the 80s - corny. I even thought that when I was a kid (I'm 38).Some of the 80s pop hits corniness is charming, I can't lie. But it's like every single song from that era is just corny as hell.
Also! Idk wtf was happening in recording studios in the 80s, but god damn the production in that decade was just atrocious. Even incredible bands, that I love deeply, like Fleetwood Mac, sounded like ass on their 80s records.
Do you happen to remember the New Bomb Turks? I think they were from Ohio.90s
Midwest punk ska is where my heart will always be.
33 here and same. I always thought music from the 80s sounded corny even as a kid.That's exactly it about the 80s - corny. I even thought that when I was a kid (I'm 38).
