What about Styx's Big Bang Theory, huh?

The Q sycophant writer is just upset that DD fell so far from immaculate pop grace & picks them as an easy target. The first three DD albums (Duran Duran, Rio & Seven and the Ragged Tiger) are the cat's meow. The Arcadia album is sweeeeet & The Power Station ain't half bad either. I have every single Duran Duran single on one data disc.

People that dismiss them just because they've sucked since then are missing the point. A lot of artists burn out creatively after three blockbuster genius pop rock records.

One can say the same for Tears for Fears' first three albums, although they are not as good as Duran Duran by a longshot & they basically only made three records that anyone really heard.

The Pet Shop boys do get some acclaim from critics. The Pet Shop Boys do, however, suck really hard.

Samantha Fox is even worse, about as bad as you can get. Sheena Easton is like Kim Gordon next to Samantha Fox.

I've never had anything particularly against Cyndi Lauper & I've never really cared for her either. She really wrecked herself with that Capt. Lou wrestling weirdness & has tried in the last few years to be credible with appearances on Howard Stern & the Today show, for instance. I don't care one way or the other about her &/or her music.

romeo void!

and of course

there is more but the fucker wont let me post more than 5

Everyneurotic · 05.31.2006, 05:48 PM

goddamn, where should i start?

faves of mine:
britney's first two
christina aguilera's first
nsync's no strings attached
michelle branch's two so far
avril lavigne's two so far
some madonna songs (especially 80's)
kelly clarckson's latests have some great songs there.
M2M!!!!
too many songs from the 80's
too many dance songs from the early 90's
commercial songs from the 90's by the likes of candlebox, sponge, live, bush, etc.
hair metal!!!

i also love a lot of power pop (cheap trick, big star, plimsouls, local h, marvelous 3, american hi-fi, tsar, etc.)

The 1980's were the golden age of pop, and gave us six great acts:

Duran Duran
A-ha
Propaganda
The Art of Noise
Tears for Fears
Heaven 17

We had to wait until the twenty-first century for the next great pop act, The Sugababes.

They did some quite experimental b-sides, instrumentals with noises and snatches of dialogue.

I have a transluscent green 7" of 'Mothers Talk' with free Tears for Fears window sticker! So there! The b-side, 'Empire Building', is an intense track.

Justin Timberlake's an OK dude. Some good songs.
