I loved 80's music in the early 80s, but hate hearing it now, which I don't understand, really.  When I meet old friends or other people my age who still play it regularly, it gives me a creepy cold chill.  I hope I'll get past it.  As youngsters we all agreed that the most horrible music of all time was disco, but I remember someone putting "Stayin' Alive" on at a party, as a joke (circa 1990), and we were all amazed that it really is terrifically well produced and played, and fairly sophisticated (that disc anyway). 

   About someone's comment earlier that there hasn't been any "rock" for years, I think it's kinda true--on American radio.  British Alternative (or whatever it's called) has lots of very good stuff--and very musical, IMO.  The problem in the US is that rock musicians listen to nothing except older popular rock, so their parameters are progressively shrinking.
