do you think the "horns" of the 80s new wave will ever make a comeback?

Are you kidding - god i feel old...\n\nThe 1980s (I think of it as 1982) marked the start of New Wave music in mainstream America.  Missing Persons appeared on Merv Griffin.  Billy Idol appeared on Laugh Trax.  The B52s appeared on Guiding Light for heaven sakes!  MTV came out and some of the first videos were from bands like Soft Cell - remember their version of "Tainted Love"?  How about the Romantics big hit "What I like about You"?  Kim Wilde's Kids in America?\n\nAlso very popular was Brian Adams, Pat Benatar, Michael Jackson, Prince, Maurice Day and the Time, Eurythmics, Yaz - the list goes on and on.\n\nColleges were listening to Smiths and Violent Femmes and on the heels of British punk bands like Dead Kennedies and Public Image came others like Suicidal Tendencies and U2.\n\nA rich cavalcade of music...

Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. Those shoes come and go. They were around in the early 70's the style fizzled and came back in the 80's and it looks like they are coming back again. I have seen them a few times and I said "well, looks like jelly shoes are coming back" I think they have a different name now. \n\nI love those shoes, the only bad thing is they would tear and cut my feet. :S

The 90's were it mate, to much hip pop hop rubbish at the moment.\nOnly dance music has had a good few years in my eyes.\nLove the 90's man, guitar music was at it's best, lost interest in lots of the music nowadays, even indie and rock stations are crap.\nAnd in the 90's we had a proper little Ska revival, crack on 90's.

When you look at the music created between early 1980-1987, there was a genre of musical talent I believe the world will never see again. \nWhere has this talent gone?\n\nThe 90's music was what you listened to when your 5 seconds short of suicide, and the 70's music was simply 1-dimension heavy rock(for the most part)\n\n60's music was fast-beat 3 minute songs designed for AM radio\n\nAnd the 'music' today? Horrific...to say the least.\n\nThe 80's were a great era.

Yea, I've always likes them and don't think they will make any thing like them again, with the background music, which not longer exists in movies today and the great actors back then.***

OK, I'm an '80s child, and quite frankly, I kinda can tolerate pop music now. I think music (again) has come full circle. My daughter and I listen to the same radio station. \n\nBut, like you said, (in my opinion), everyone has their own taste in music, so, to each their own. I promise, once I know what music you like, I'll never torture you with the music I choose from the jukebox....

Anything by Chicago. Especially the old horns songs,  like Make Me Smile, Lowdown, I'm a Man, and 25 or 6 to 4.\nAlthough I like the new stuff- like Feel, Better,  90 Degrees and Freezing, and Already Gone  a lot, too.

It does, with it's New Order offshoots. I really don't mind though, I'm 32 so it's interesting to see things come around full circle. The artists are little more talented now, but there isn't the edge there that attracted me so much when I was 14.

Chances are, never. Has it occurred to you that you may just be getting older and no longer 'in touch' or perhaps they just don't make music like they used to? Don't panic! Just dig out all your favourite old CD's and listen to them and castigate the kids for listening to crap (Ideally wait until one of your favourite songs is covered and moan like buggery that its not as good as the original) I works for me

Yes. Probably in the next 5 - 10 yrs. \n\nIf you are extremely considerate of saving them, then spend some money and convert them to DVD. \n\nIf not, then keep them as VHS Cassettes, they'll be vintage products for future, just like the old 70's records !\nIt'll be fun sharing them with your grandkids !

33s \nNeil Young After the Gold Rush\nZZTop Tres Hombres (i think she bought this one for the fold out picture of the mexican dinner on the original pressing)\nLynyrd Skynyrd Gold and Platinum\n(I would not even have these if the missus hadn't bought them at Half-Priced books)\nand several that the missus grabbed after her father passed away, mostly classical and show tunes.\n  Unlike may others of my generation, I DO NOT enjoy the sounds of needle on vinyl and when I embraced CD technology, I got rid of my entire record collection, replacing them as they became available.  I cannot think of a single one that hasn't been replaced (the last one was replaced in 2005 when I bought Manfred Mann's Earth Band "Watch" and "Angel Station". \n\n45s\nDon McLean American Pie\nThe Doors Light My Fire\nApollo 100 Joy\nMason Williams Classical Gas\n(I don't know why I still have these)\n\n78s\nNone

your cliff richard reference is spot on mate.im afraid that if i listened to their whole album of nicey,nicey middle of the road pop tripe i would end up stabbing myself repeatedly in the ears with a once sharp but now blunted and rusty bread knife in an attempt to stop myself from ever hearing it again.

NO.  i don't think today's current mainstream music will EVER be the classics of tomorrow.  The Beatles, Hendrix, Joplin, The Doors:  They wrote songs for themselves and if other people liked it..Great but it was always to please themselves first.  They wrote from the heart about thier experiences and we all related to them.  You could hear Janis Joplin's pain in "Piece of my heart" and I dare anyone to listen to the Beatles "Day in The Life" and not be moved at all.  Today's mainstream music..is just that..mainstream.  These are the artists that make music for money not personal satisfaction.  9 times out of 10 they can't even make thier own music; they sample from the real classics, Queen, Led Zepplin and try to pass it as original.  I don't that think that in 10 years I'll be in Wal-Mart hearing Beyonce's "Bootylicious" on the overhead radio.  I think that the Classics of yesteryear will NEVER be repeated.  I'm 29 today but 30 tomorrow and I'm am a white chick :0)

They were a pop type group that had a couple of hits in the 80's, they were okay, kind of a one hit wonder type group.\n\n\n\n\n\noh wait, I think they were called New Order....never mind......

Yes, new wave music is more mixed in with post-punk (not to be confused with pop-punk) and electronic music than it was earlier in "the day", so it's less clarified and many people think it's nonexistent but it's really not, maybe you could say it's less common but not extinct.  Popular new wave today is considered power pop or just alternative rock to be vague.  Another problem with new wave music is that it can be tied to so many genres like indie, goth, glam metal, power pop, dark wave, industrial, punk, post-punk, etc. but that's pretty musch the same as saying it's less clarified.
