I don't think the 80's sucked any more than any other decade...they all had boring 4/4 dance music and insipid pop rubbish.  I'd stack The Pretenders, The Psychedelic Furs, REM and the whole US hardcore scene DK's, Black Flag, Minutemen, Husker Du, Meat Puppets, etc against any other decade...

The 1980s were the decade when it became popular to eat sausages in the street and you could poop your pants in an elevator and no one would mind.

Has there been a more abysmal excursion into music than this?

You're basing the whole decade on one ridiculously stupid song?

Much has already been said, but removing the human element... I like music that is timeless, without the gimmicks, drum-machines, or even the real snares that are 10x louder than the vocals (does anybody remember singing?)... Cheesy keyboards, jangly strats, bad production..
