How can you admit this publicly ?? You’re a good poster, but im serious.. that has to be the worst era in music history and it isnt close…. Until Nirvana came out with Nevermind in late ‘91, music was a vast wasteland from like 89-91… Milli Vanilli was like the Cowboys, Lakers or Bama- they represented all that was evil and wrong with music .

“Girl you know it’s true…”

The music was catchy…. I have a Harley with a decent stereo and my friends just stare when I roll up with this stuff playing lol

Im not a huge Nirvana fan, mind you (with apologies to Saintman).. or should i say ‘All Apologies’.. in any case, they did revitalize music in general, regardless of ur feelings about grunge.. up until then, we suffered thru a couple years of Milli Vanilli, Wilson Philips, Britney Fox, Vanilla Ice, New Kids on the Block , Paula Abdul, Warrant, Michael Bolton…. Should i go on ? Prove me wrong .

A $31 million budget in 1983 honestly seems super high

Whenever someone says there is no value in remakes, I point to that film.

I'd say Guns N Roses were good. Metallica and Judas priest were around,but I agree for the most part. It
was not a good stretch during that time.

Essentially Public Enemy bringing Consciousness Rap to the forefront (NWA, KRS-One, et al) and Quest and De La essentially moving Hip Hop into its dominant form
Aside from late 60s it might be the most important era of ‘pop’ music

I would listen to Warrant farting for 12 hours straight over anything from Nirvana. We can all make fun of Cherry Pie, sure, but their later stuff was amazing and not pop glam at all. Not to mention after Jani died, the two albums put out with Robert Mason were great rock music. Plus I love Britny Fox. I'll grant you New Kids though.


Full disclosure, I own over 225 albums from 115 different glam rock bands.... Including current European AOR such as Gotthard, House of Shakira, Von Groove, etc. Hell, the new Winger album that came out this year would surprise you. And Extreme's album this year was fantastic.

This is a show that i never watched during its original airing, but started watching during pandemic , for reasons inexplicable to me, and now have probably seen every episode 3 or 4 times.. it‘s a truly terrible show, with atrocious acting and writing that is even worse- but it’s also great escapism and nostalgia, and i like having it on in the background while i catch up on work or while i sheetpost on SR .

I do the same with Rockford files. Never watched it when it aired. But if it happens to be on GET channel on YouTube TV I'm watching it. James Garner has an interesting story. Dropped out of high school and became a merchant marine. Then came home and joined the Marines and fought in Korea. Movies and TV was his third act?
