I know I’m getting old when I hear “Golden Oldies from the ‘00s”.
“Wallender”, a BBC version of a Swedish cop show, has a captivating theme song by a sheila from down under.

No offense but the author picked ten of the absolute WORST songs of the 1908s.
I listen to late 70s and eighties music exclusively. These ten listed suck ass.
I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
1885 - 1987 were much better musically than 1984 was.
1984 to 1988 was a good era for music. However, it almost seems that very soon after, quality music just died.
1885 wasn't too bad, though:) There's a great website that hosts ragtime MP# and Midi files, I can;t find the URL.
Trash...pure trash.Hell,Weird Al's "Like A Surgeon" was much better.The only thing "Madonna" did that was worth a damn was "Papa Don't Preach".The video was even pretty good,except for the parts where you see *her* spinning around like a two bit whore.
I read that song was written by a man after his breakup.
That may be the worst list of music I’ve ever seen.
50's and 60's ... period.
maybe 6 or 7 % from the 70's ... but not much.
Xer Ping
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
What?? No Neil Sedaka, ABBA or “Muskrat Love”?
“The 1970’s...a vast wasteland,almost totally devoid of worthwhile music”
I gather you didn’t like “Cats in the Cradle”, “American Pie” and “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” LOL
Synths were coming into their own on a wide scale and were new toys to be exploited. the tooling around with new sounds and production led to a lot of creativity. But once the cool new ideas became established techniques, some of the magic faded.
Sure there was far more than that, but that played a big part IMO.
I loved the 80s Obama was not even known about

Her “Live to Tell” wasn’t bad. Probably her best ballad.

Muskrat love was like farting in the bath tub
I was more a Jim Crocie “Ball of Kerimuir” (how ever you spell it) fan, than BBLB.
4 and 20 virgins came down from Iverness...and when the ball was over there were 4 and 20 less!
