I was a metal fan in the 80’s, but now I am listening to Sirius radio’s “First Wave” station. All the original alternative bands— Smiths, Talking Heads, The Cult, The Cure. I think popular music peaked in the 80’s and has been on a rapid decline since.

Now, popular music seems to be either hip-hop or retread style or retread songs from the 80’s.

I listen to First Wave, Hair Nation, the Big 80s, Classic Vinyl, Classic Rewind, Buzzsaw, Sirius Patriot of course, and even Symphony Hall and Prime Country (80s country) once in a while.

Also, the current crop of singers can’t seem to get along without a voice machine.

My WMP is loaded with 80s music ranging from punk to metal to New Wave, etc. That, and classical, classic rock, and a select number of current artists who actually have talent.

I just smile when I hear that...late 60's and early 70's beat the 80's hands down.
