Start off by actually paying for music, support local bands by actually going to shows. Don't support djs and edm tripe. Put the power back into the musicians hands.
Would take 80's music over the 90's pearl Jam and nirvana craze.
I dunno but I saw Depeche Mode at a sold out show at MSG two weeks ago and it was amazing. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
The funny thing is that hair metal or more accurately pop metal kept imitating itself over and over. Pop metal--a more accurate way to describe the music--was created in the 70s. Kiss, Aerosmith, Van Halen and others really started the genre. By the 80s, it was kind of just imitating itself. The music in the 90s was much more creative than the 80s
And why does Poison keep getting mentioned as a great band in this thread? Bret Michaels even said in an interview that he was making burgers, not art.
I wouldn't say so necessarily...I agree about the hair metal/pop metal bands, to be honest that stuff bores me, but the 80s saw the rise of some really creative post-punk, new-wave/art-rock bands. Some seriously good stuff.
See Warpaint?
Wasn't really into Nirvana,but I think Soundgarden and STP had some great songs,and Alice in chains was consistently excellent.God i hate grunge with a passion. Worst subgenre of music ever created.Kurt Cobain was a proto hipster
The 80's produced some of the, if not the, best music. Life before PC, life before whatever the hell exists today in the music world which is making the cookie cutter bull we're told is music but is utter garbage ?
Hell, a band like Twisted Sister, Van Halen would never make it in today's world. They were fun, high energy. Motley Crew, Poison, etc .... There's no risk in music anymore.
There was alot of great music in the 80s. I just feel like the bands that started in the 70s sounded better in the 70s than they did in the 80s. Still. There was still great metal,punk,hardcore and early raw nasty new york rap towards the end of the 80s as well.Free spirit and energy?
In the DECADE of corporate rock, are you kidding me.
It was a decade of fad music.
you have shit taste in music if you think that glam bs is good music. I mean fucking come on it's the '80s where's the Thrash instead you list a bunch of gender confused bands who played the same cookie cutter BS. The only decent "Glam" band to come out in that era was GN'R and that mainly due to them not trying to be glam.The 80's produced some of the, if not the, best music.

I've read a few times that it isn't as easy to make money in the music business for new acts. If that is the case, a new support system for musicians is needed. If one is looking to promote music it is likely viewed as being safer to get behind the cookie cutter musicians. Someone outside of the current norm would be a risky investment.
I suspect thought that would be difficult, with the ease it is to quickly copy music.
