    Yeah 80's music left a lot to be desired, but there is one cure for shit music, turn it off or don't listen...what's wrong with just sticking with taking the shit out of nearly every motorcycle ever produced... it's all in the eye/ear of the beholder...Phil Collins was never my flavour but having to go to see him at the Royal Albert in the eighties with a girlfriend and her brothers, under protest, ended up being one of the most fantastic live concerts I have ever seen...slow day in your neck of the woods, or what......

    I hear where you are coming from F5Dave. Collins ruined Genesis but in the early years his drumming skills made the music for me. The drum battle in genesis Seconds out live concert (Suppers Ready I think it was)- shit a brick my spine tingles in awe. but as you say as his ego grew the quality went down the drain of whatever pop bubblegum sells for him.

    If Peter Gabriel had stayed on I reckon they would have faded away to obscurity just the same. 80s music was mostly a disappointment though. Early 80s still rocks for me, I was living in London and it was the cross over from punk to new wave, so quite interesting with different styles coming through, Altered Images (OK so I had a hard on for the lead singer), XTC, Police (I can't stand hearing them now), The Mods/Style Council, Pretenders, The Beat. OMD. Human league. Shit it's hard to remember who I liked back then?

    Children behave, that's what they say when we're together
    And watch how you play
    They don't understand
    And so we're

    Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands
    Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
    And we tumble to the ground and then you say

    I think we're alone now,
    There doesn't seem to be anyone around
    I think we're alone now,
    The beating of our hearts is the only sound

    Su-Sussudio
    Woah oh

    I mean Genesis take some of the blame for hiring their drummer as a lead singer replacement. Jeez, couldn't you have put an add in the paper at least?


    I don't think that a lynch mob is any justice to be considered. But surely criminal charges should be long overdue.

    And it gets worse. A litany of bland annoying songs that all sound the same just played backward or sideways with dreary lyrics.

    Truly punishment has been delayed too long?
    i can believe you wish to convict the lil drummer boy

    The Eye of the Tiger tho. If ever there was a more tedious dirge from the eighties, made worse by the fact it evokes best forgotten images of the appallingly bad Rocky sequels. I include the original Rocky there as a sequel as it started out a bit second hand and worse for wear!

    My point was it wasn't always possible to turn it off, it was everywhere you went. Some people can 'not listen' but others just suffer. I think I'd repressed it all. But now we should have rewengee. (Cant remember the movie but think it was Michael Palin with a speech impediment and a steamroller).
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    80's music.

    At least they earned their chops by touring in a transit van and building a fan-base.
    None of this "idol" instant-fame bullshit.

    ...agreed...insatiable thirst for pop porn that generally cum in its pants before the fly was even down, pervading the airwaves...I had a bunch of brickies and hoddies on a biggish job once. Bronzed , pommy, Adonis types most of them, strutting around the scaff and on the ladders to huge amplification of Frankie Goes To Hollywood as the bricks got laid...I thought they were fucking shite little homos from Liverpool...the office girls in a building 50 meters away were pulling their tits out and flashing the boys constantly...entertaining and very odd, I thought, at the time...

    ...now the pricks are on my playlist...

    Surely "Groovy kind of love" is more than enough for a conviction under any legal system

    So yeah. Some promising starts to career, but followed close behind is the reprehensible behavior that shows his true character.
