I'm in early twenties and I can't stand today's music (or many other things associated with my generation). I love the 80s. My parents were young in the '80s and grew up listening to it so I grew up with it and like it. I also like oldies, classic rock and older country. | ||

Cannot think of anything, '80's I like, but:
'80's was the last good decade, before the '90's nose-dive...
My mainly nothing-later-than-Late-'70's, at least stops around '82... There's at least one radio station here that touts itself on "The '80's-til-now", but don't get me started on the endless replays of same stuff by Cyndi Lauper and Rick Springfield, and although Prince, Michael Jackson & Madonna are more preferred, it's often too many repetitious renditions of THEIR same stuff... Ditto for "more variety" being the occasional Duran, Duran--it's too often Naked Eyes, and Modern English, and a "You Know What", by either/both of 'em... -- Dave | ||

I love 70's and 90's, but not a huge fan of the 80's, except for some songs... It's difficult to find something good after 2000. Maybe 2 or 3 songs from 2000 to 2017 are OK... but just OK... | ||

I listen to the best of every decade. I agree there's not a whole lot I like after 2000 though. | ||

While my heart belongs to music of the early 1970s, I continue to listen to the music of many favorites of the '80s.
These bands were my 1980s: (in no particular order) XTC The Psychedelic Furs Cocteau Twins Prefab Sprout Husker Du The Replacements The Smiths The Pixies Echo & The Bunnymen The Pretenders REM New Order Wire The Cure Siouxsie & The Banshees The Go-Betweens The Jesus & Mary Chain Prefab Sprout Simple Minds | ||

Wow, yeah! All those also. Too weird George Michael is gone. Younger than myself. George O'dowd still here, and older than I. How about Pat Benatar? She also sings opera. Bashia? They never did classify her as strictly pop, vocal jazz, or blue eyed soul. B-52's? Debbie Harry? I can't deny, I do like Adell. | ||

I love 60s, 70s, and especially 80s music. The 90s for me offered very little, and today's music just doesn't cut it for me. I also like the older country music that my parents listened to such as Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Charlie Rich, Marty Robbins...you get the picture.
My husband loves Sam Smith but there is something about the sound of his voice that I find irritating. I wish I could describe the way it sounds to me. It seems clipped, like he is trying hard to not to let the words come out, almost as if he were gagging. As I said before, I can't really describe how it sounds to me and I don't want to be offensive to others who may like Sam Smith. | ||

 I listen to a variety of music. Country I'll listen anything on up to the early 2000s. After that it just got pop. Rock, anything into the 80s. I also like jazz and swing music. I also will listen to Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra type music as well. I'm happy listening to Patsy Cline, ZZ Top, Engelbert Humperdink, Johnny Mathis, Wham!, George Strait, Hank Williams, or Reba McEntire. | ||

Like in my initial post, "on the radio", there's OMD (more to 'em than "If You Leave") and Whitesnake (more than just "Here I Go Again", which is played on all four of my car radio's four presets), that pretty much sums up my '80's listening...
But there's also Prince, a pretty much routine song selection, & who knows if he were alive today what great songs he (& along w/ M.J., they) could be doing right now? -- Dave | ||

50s/60s are @ home
at my house in SoFlo. I stopped buying music circa 1980. I enjoy playing all my vinyl and do that often. From time to time I do like to hear Madonna, George Michael, Blondie and occasional disco oldies. Ixnay on Prince, M. Jackson, Wings, and especially later Stones. We have a radio station here that plays a nice mix, but in any 20-minute set they must MUST play something by Prince or Jackson. Instant pushbutton activation in the car...

In Arizona and southern California, they play lots of Hispanic and Latin music on the radio also. | ||
