Phil Collins, Sheena Easton, Vanity, Ted Nugent, Don Henley, and many more had "guest appearances" on the show. That, coupled with the birth of MTV help propel many "no name bands" to national and international success. Quick MTV trivia question: What was the very first video played on MTV?

I'm talkin' 70's pastels AND styles. They make the stuff you're talking about look quite tasteful! Have you ever watched "That 70's Show"? The clothes in that show are toned down a bit from what it really was. I saw a picture of me and my brother (5 yrs & 3yrs) in some suits we just got. BIG dumbo collars, FAT bow ties, Ruffles on the white shirts, UGLY bright pastel colors (think easter egg). Top it all off with Beatles style bowl haircuts. There ya' go! Yeccchhhh!!!

EEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!
My sympathies. Although the '70's had some good music (if you IGNORE Disco), the clothing styles WERE pretty atrocious. As for myself, I think I had about 5 different pairs of white pants at the height of the Miami Vice craze. Izod, Jordache, Ocean Pacific, Adidas, and (of course), Members Only - all nothing more than fond memories now.

Anyways, I think the decade in which you grew up musically is often the best in your opinion. Most of the music I listen to is from the nineties or more recent, while my interest in the 80's as such doesn't go any further than The Cure, Joy Division/New Order, Depeche Mode, Sonic Youth and a bit of Pet Shop Boys, probably forgetting a few. Though Daydream Nation, one of the best CD's in musical history (and Sonic Youth masterpiece) originates from the eighties as well, I'll have to give you that. [img]smile.gif[/img] But please, don't bother me with most of the one-(s)hitwonders of that decade, there are more than enough horrible ones in the 90's to be ashamed of.

They finally merged and got together in the 90's and called themselves alternative, but no one will ever admit it!

Hey! Speaking of one-hit-wonders. Anyone remember "Right Said Fred" and "I'm Too Sexy"? [img]graemlins/laughsaywhat.gif[/img]

Besides, I don't really care much for "alternative" anyways, more for lo-fi, indie and electronic, and all kinds of genre crossovers. [img]smile.gif[/img]
