The 80's was my music too.
All those reasons too, but you couldn't understand the words in all the songs. I also believe that time was great because I think that there was a lot of creativity and originality going on at that time. I think the good music of that time was created from real thoughts and feelings, not just how much money could be made like it seems today.
Also I think a lot of it did have some real substance too.
Oh yeah, also great hairstyles too.
My first real concert: The Police, Joan Jett and REM in Shea Stadium in 1983.
