I can't move on!

I can't stop listening to 80's music!

It is soooooo much better than any music around now.

If you happen to know me you will be well aware that i cannot stand any of the bands that have come out in the last 5 or 6 years.

The Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire are the 2 perched high on the list, closely followed by The Editors, The Datsuns, The Decemberists, The Swimming Pools, The Colonics, The Craps, The Shins, The Thermals, The Hives, The Von Bondies, The Constantines, The Hives, The Idiots, The Mountain Goats, The Zutons, The Kooks, The Kocks, The Vandals, The Stills and the The Thrills, not to mention The New Amsterdams, The Sea and Cake, The Raveonettes, The Early November, The Replacements, or The Black Key.

I do admit alot of the 80's sounded very similar, but the tunes were so much richer, there appeared to be more consideration given to the actual tune. It wasn't just 2 guitars, a drummer and a singer belting out a 3 and a half minute song with 3 verses and a chorous. There was melody, charm, sophistication.

Jones, Kershaw, 17, 42, Hollywood, League, Ha!

All of them giving us a mass of brilliant records.

I keep wondering why The Editors, The Datsuns, The Decemberists, The Swimming Pools, The Colonics, The Craps, The Shins, The Thermals, The Hives, The Von Bondies, The Constantines, The Hives, The Idiots, The Mountain Goats, The Zutons, The Kooks, The Vandals, The Stills, The Thrills, The New Amsterdams, The Sea and Cake, The Raveonettes, The Early November, The Replacements, and The Black Key don't realise this and start writing a few tunes that hark back to that era, they would sell like hot cakes, or Rubix Cubes. Instead they all just keep pumping out the same old cack.

Well done the 80's, you were better than i thought you were.

I still can't beleive what happened to Nik Kershaw. Jail can't have been good for him.

Still, forgive and forget.
