I can like some 80’s pop, but please NO Duran Duran. Something about their melody lines always seemed extremely forced and ungood.
And after about 1986 I largely dropped out of the popular music scene - which corresponded with more and more Rap on the MTV.
Give me anything from the 50s-80s as long as it’s somewhat melodic or has some redeeming musical value. No disco and very little heavy metal though. The years 1963-1972 are pretty much the sweet spot though. That said, I do love me some classic doo-wop harmonies!
