    Mainstream 80s was horrendous seeing as it came from the privileged classes but Reagan/Thatcher politics did give rise to some good underground music from the more angry, depressed and outcast sections of society. Madonna was not part of those sections.

    Madonna would be one of the biggest joke in musical history if it wasn't for the fact a lot of peeps seem to adore her 'efforts' and take her shit seriously. And the pop music of the 80's is one of the most hilarious things in the history of pop music. Big pile of rubbish of which Madonna is the queen indeed.

    I often wonder if people who blast dance/pop genres do it because they genuinely dislike the music or that they don't 'get it' because they can't dance.

    Sometimes it's both. But some people just want to dance to good tunes. Some people mainly like to listen and yeah, then you are in for a dissappointment with most of Madonna's music. I've also got the feeling some people just like a good show. If I want a good show I go to a movie but some dig mediocre pop music drenched in cool lightning effects and pretty dancers.

    I myself dig mediocre rock music drenched in cool lighting effects and demonic costumes.
    But that's because I was a child in the 70's. :D

    I think for many it would be the former, this is why something like Acid House gained popularity in the 80's. People want to dance but just don't enjoy dancing to fluffy, generic, commercial pop music like Madonna created.

    I often wonder if it's because they genuinely dislike the person sitting next to them on the train. Damn that's annoying.

    My top three things to come out of the 80s:

    1. Reign in Blood (Slayer)
    2. Empire Strikes Back / Return of the Jedi
    3. Christopher Reeve in his Superman outfit

    Top three worse things to come out of the 80s

    1. All those new wave electronic bands with funky haircuts, guys with way too much make up, but with really bad teeth: Human League, Flock Of Seagulls, Soft Cell etc

    2. The Police Academy Movies

    3. Microsoft


    Celine Dion was infantly more annoying than Madonna, thankyou Canada

    madonna puts on awesome concerts with all the dancing...really great, i have the dvds. i never saw her in concert. but lots and lotsa great music came outta the 80s, for me. alotta the groups no longer together now, or what? if they made music that people loved...they should keep on doing it!

    This is so true!! We were force-fed some real crap music on pop radio...just my opinion. But a very strong one!!
