Weighing in on Jaimie's comments.....
Re: 80s pop, there are so many aspects to what was "pop"ular in the 80s.
I'm wondering if you can clarify where your biggest influences were. I
know, for example, that you are a big fan of punk. I myself like punk
where it comes into play with the Ramones, but am NOT a fan of the Sex
Pistols. I also know that you enjoy some new wave stuff. I'm a huge fan
of new wave myself. There was a lot of throwback to 50s rock and roll
in the emerging rockabilly comeback led by the Stray Cats.
Can you narrow down your statement that you are more into the 80s
musical movement? There were many "movements" and most of them were
really good.
As for 40s and 50s, I tend more toward the 40s pop than 50s rock,
although I'm heavily drawn to early Elvis and Ricky Nelson and to early
60s stuff like Bobby Darin.
Just wondering which part or parts of the 80s you identified more with.
Dave
