You couldn't be more right.

I was born in '87, so I remember pretty much nothing from the eighties, but I know a lot about it because I watch Vh1 and my uncle. He still has a lot of recorded episodes from Headbanger's Ball. Compared to today, the 80's was the golden age of music, a lot of awesome songs, better than what they have out today. Too bad it died out when the early 90's came around.

Pop in the eighties? With guys like Motley Crew, Metallica, Guns'N'Roses, Dokken, and Iron Maiden, I never heard much pop music.
