Loved this back in the early 80s! Such a drastic change in music between 80-83ish and then 84-89. But thankfully, the crappy 84-89 (don't forget the horrific "Hair Metal" bands 
)period with fake instruments (synthesizers), and pathetic drum machines led to the rise of Grunge. Real musicians playing real instruments live in studio = real music.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
