Put your hands up, put your hands up! \n\nNo, they've not released anything in an age, I haven't heard of any plans of them doing so either...

In my opinion yes.  Remember Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones had long periods between albums, there were breakups etc.  Def Lep has consistently put out music since '78.

Yea they r great.  Their new album is awesome.  Its hard to believe they r still around after all these years, and their career has never been better.

Disco was not bad! It was just a branch of pop with a danced up beat.It was totally meant to be dance?party?feel good songs, and it was all that! We had fun during the disco years, I remember it well. Thats not to say it made all other pop music bad. The 70's had a wide assortment of different music types and many, many good songs in that era. Most of our Classic rock tunes are from the 70's.

Ya know, as a child of the 70's, I really thought the 1980's were a dry spell, creatively speaking.\nSure, there were some pretty good one-hit wonders, but overall, there were no 'Beatles' or 'Rolling Stones' coming out of that era.\nNo...not until I heard the opening guitar line to "Where the Streets Have No Name" that I took notice to something that others had already picked up on.\nAnd then it hit me: POW! \nU2's "The Joshua Tree" WAS (to me) the Sgt. Pepper of the 1980's...the pinnacle of musical excellence for that decade.\nI still listen to that album and it still sends shivers down my spine.\nIt rocks, it rolls and it has messages that still are relevant today.

Rock today and rock back then talk about totally different things. Rock back then was more soulful and todays it's just emo.

I agree.  I love nearly all era's of music, but the stuff from the 60's, 70's, and 80's is better by far than most of the music today.\nI personally like Led Zeppelin, they had a great guitarist, and a great drummer, and could play rock, blues, and a lot of other styles of music as well.  For example D'yer'maker (hope I spelled that correctly) almost sounds a bit like calypso, "When the Levee Breaks" is a classic blues song, "Stairway To Heaven" is probably one of the greatest rock songs ever.  Not only could they play a variety of music styles their lyrics were intelligent and intriguing.\nAnother of my all time favorites was and is Bob Dylan, the man is a lyrical genius, and he has inspired more musicians than any other singer/songwriter.\nTodays music just doesn't compare.  They simply regurgitate their songs and their goal is to make money.  Back in the 60's - 80's people were actually writing songs that meant something, and they were trying to say something.  Today's artists might tell you that is what they are attempting to do, but IMO they have failed misserably.  They simply parrot what the mainstream media and entertainment industries spew out and say that they are trying to make a difference.\nThere are only two "modern" bands that I like, one of them broke up (Rage Against The Machine), the other is U2

Depends on the way sung. If it was 60's - 70's style rock then it would probably be ok! lol

If not then it sure does sound a lot like it.  The beat and everything except for the lyrics.

I totally agree =] ! I love New Wave, Electro, 80s Alternative, etc... a lot of synth based music, really. And Depeche Mode are my favourite band by far (love a lot of the other bands you mentioned too, esp. DD). But unfortunately a lot of 80s music gets dismissed way too quickly by a lot of people... which is a shame. Like you say, a lot of it is really unique & innovative. I think so anyway.\n\n"I THINK IT IS UNDERRATED BY THE YOUNGER PEOPLE THAT DON'T APPRECIATE WHAT MUSIC WAS LIKE BACK THEN."\n\nWell not by everyone... I'm 16, so I wasn't even alive during the 80s. :)

Its so refreshing to see I'm not the only one who realizes this! Real soul music has all but diappeared sometime in the 80's,shortly before rock & roll left us too. I got all the good soul from the 50's, 60's 70's. Thats back when there was actual music on the radio!

i guess its some 80's band ;-)

I'm, with you!! It's old, trite and outdated. But, it is new to the younger crowd. \n\nBut, maybe some of them will actually live the so called punk lifestyle, rebel, and actually "revolt" and cause some sort of social change...Yeah right.\n\nNever mind the bollocks...

I asked my neighbors son last night ,hes 16 and its all about the screaming.He said the lyrics dont mean $hit its just about the music!Ill agree on the fact that some of these bands have talented musical songs with great riffs and awsome drums but WTF are they saying?Sorry Im older 43 but i still rock and im not going to go to a lyric site to find out what theyre singing(if you wanna call it that).I listen to everything and im just having a hard time with the whole screaming thing.Just imagine how great these metal bands would be with say david coverdale or Rob Halford singing.I like the sound ,i mean these bands totally jam but the screaming doesnt work for me.
