    I used to like the pop music in the 1980s, as well as from the late 1960s and through the 1970s. Due to my going into the witlesses, I was exposed to less during the late 1980s and into the 1990s, and I do not like what CrapChannel did to the radio stations (and hence, pop music) during the 2000s. (Though I still like that gangsta rap, which is largely independent of the radio.) And, now that I have found that heavy metal and thrash metal that the witlesses hate so much in the 1980s, I find that to be enjoyable, too.

    Of all the 1980s music, the Sing Praises to Jehovah book contains the only pieces that are absolutely wretched. They totally lack quality, and they give horrible advice. Everything else is acceptable, especially whatever the Washtowel Slaveholdery hates.

    As with each decade, there are songs I love and songs I don't. Here's a classic (don't think they did a video for it):

    Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - "Against The Wind":

    I forgot all about the Clash, which is odd since they're the only band that matters.

    The New Wave stuff is good if I'm in a specific mood.

    Dr Hook's "Sharin the Night Together" was my favorite song when I was 8 in 1982. To this day, I am 35, when I go out with freinds to a bar, I look for that song...I have it on my IPOD.
