"In my opinion, 70s music aged better..."
This will suffice
80s music is high key trash...

That's where mass commercialisation of music occured and the use of synths and drum machines was used to cut down on price.

Also the 80s was the creation of the pop star...another trash development of music...

70s had the the Meters, Parliament, EW&F, Ohio Players, Slave, Sly and the Family Stone, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Queen, Bee Gees, The Eagles

Then on the solo side you had Stevie Wonder, Elton John, David Bowie.....

70s was the best era...

You listen to 80s music, shyt is all loud and clanky...and dead...

70s music was smooth...and full of life

80s music makes you feel old like when you listen to early to mid 2000 music...they both got that annoying loudness and clankiness...
Nah, it just makes you feel old because you were probably grown in the early 2000's. That era had a lot of beautiful production. The early 2000's refined the sound of the 90's. Similar to how the early 80's refined the sound of 70's. They were already using keyboards and drum machines in the late 70's, especially in funk and disco. Hip hop wouldn't exist without the funk and disco musicians learning keyboards and drum machines

Cameo was trash, though.
fukk outta here. Damn, y'all nikkas tastes in music sucks
soul, writing, content vs cheap hits and that's never gonna stop happening. Same will happen to any bullshyt hit chaser music in any era. music with substance lives forever and is timeless.

how artists still don't get it I don't know. Trap music will have no replay value :mjlol:
Nah, you don't get it. You (like most of the folks in this thread) probably don't make music. Idk why people with no musical talent assume that they know more about making music than the actual artists

I think 80's music still holds up b/c artists were still playing instruments, even if they were electronic ones. I think 70's music holds up better b/c of the natural instruments but 80's music is right up there.

Someone spoiler'd some FIYAH-ass 80's tracks earlier in the thread. You can't tell me that wasn't straight HEAT:ufdup:

If I wanted to throw a fun party I would probably pick 80's music over 70's though.

Love 80's music.

MJ, Prince, Debarge, George Michael, Whitney, New Edition, Hall & Oates, Rick James, Isley Brothers, New jack Swing, Golden Era Hip Hop, etc. etc.

This...

Just like I said ealier in the thread.... the 80's had a better variety of dope shyt from ... funk, r&b, Pop, Rock, Rap ect.

Between the 60's, 70's and 80's...overall the 80's had the best mixture of dope music.

By far.

Y'all buggin in this thread calling 80s music trash. The Jimmy & Terry era SOS Band trash to y'all because they dropped live instruments in favor of electronic ones?? Wat?? :hhh:
Jimmy Jam and Terry could probably eat good if they gave these new artists the SOS/Alexander O'Neal/Cherrelle/Janet treatment. shyt still sounds fresh to me for the most part
