I cannot express to you the meaning of having Motown and early Beatles fill the corners of your preteen childhood with joy. No other music can compare in that regard. For me. ;)

As well, I was partially raised by a brother who listened to Clapton, Trower, Dylan, Santana, Grateful Dead, Tull, and sisters who listened to CSN&Y, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stephens, Elton John.....well, you get the point. I had the best of all worlds and appreciation for many genres/generations of music.
And then along comes Bill G and Rebecca....to provide it on a daily basis.

I helped raise two stepchildren born in 78 and 80, so yeah, I heard some. Granted, their decade was the 90s, but I hear what Bill plays from my post-youth. You know that I like some of it, and that I consider Chrissie the greatest rock star on the planet. I do understand your own love for it. We antiques listened to our own share of crap, trust me.

ha! I had to look up Anthrax because I'd only ever heard of them. No tunes came to mind.

Remember what that wise old philosopher used to say: 90% of everything is crap.

Which is exactly what 80s music is for many of us. I wonder if you've even heard or been exposed to the HALF of what was really being played back then——as opposed to just commercial radio and MTV hits. There were many gems that never got big recognition (that were way more than just synth-pop).

Sort of like that Anthrax/Public Enemy concert Justine got to go to...

wtf? I see no conflict. You and I need to go to an EW&F AC/DC concert together.

I had to deal with being mocked for liking both EW&F *and* AC/DC.  I had very few friends because of that.

I think my love for all most music of the 60s and 70s is why so much of the 80s stuff makes me cringe. The soundtrack of one's youth, you know.

Ah, love me some EW&F!

Stumbled into it on the drive home today. It's open moonroof music.
