That's an excellent point about technology; I personally loved the way that synths were used unashamedly, without trying to imitate another instrument.
So many people hate on 80s music, but it was a time of breadth and experiment. While much of it may or may not be considered pop, I'm of the opinion that the 80s gave us some of the best music ever made. Talking Heads, Eno's collaborations with Byrne, Daniel Lanois and others, and Bauhaus just to name three.
@ajsadauskas @ReCursing @pootriarch Yeah, personally I just loved the weird shit people were doing at the time. Like Bowie's Ashes to Ashes video.
There's that moment when technology first arrives in a major way; in the hands of someone with style and imagination it can be a beautiful thing.
