Man, we are being inundated by these 80s bands.  Normally I'd love one or two of them, but it's such a flood that I've lost just about all interest.  What do we think is at the root of the avalanche?  Is it just simply that we're enough years out that it takes on the full nostalgia factor??

[kosmo vinyl]

simple equation really
 
 (thining hair + thining bankaccounts) X viagra = comeback time!
 
 the beach boy tour riders on thesmokinggun.com are hilarious... they are never to be referred to as a nostalgia act.

It's because the vast majority of the new music us just plain SHITE!  

[solchalawa]

but so was most of the 80s music.

For once i agree with Mankie.    [/b][/quote]

It's because most people get lazy and decide not to explore any new music once they hit 30 or so. It's easier to listen to the golden oldies than it is to take the time to find good new music.
    True, there is a lot of shite new music out there. But there is also a lot of good stuff if you're willing to sift through the shite.

I somewhat reluctantly went to see Billy Idol last time he played the 9:30 Club (2001?).  And it turned out to be a really excellent show.  Steve Stevens was boss.

Admit it Jeej, the company had corporate tix to the 930 club and the CEO was rewarding you all for a good fiscal year.

When did Billy Idol go "indie" ?

[Guiny]

I went to the last show and thought it was outstanding. I'll probably go this time also, but then again which 80's show am i not going to this summer!!!!!!

I've tried to find the good new music I really have....one or two decent songs on album doesn't cut it though. I've even shelled out good money for a few cd's hoping they'd grow on me.
 
 Apart from a few exceptions, new music for the most part is boring and has a shelf life of about 15 minutes.
