I've always been an 80s buff. Some of it is not particularly enjoyable (some of the more cheesy or pop-ish songs), but a lot of it had a certain sophistication and progressiveness that really put a lot more meaning and soul into the songs. It was also before the autotune era where things were not artificially perfected or sterilized by the production team. The music of the 70s, 80s, and 90s felt more alive.
Today, I'm not so much a fan of modern pop music. Some of it is great, but a lot of what has become popular has just never jived well with me I suppose. It all comes down to preference.
And perhaps it's worth noting that many artists still do make classic rock/pop, but it's often not as popular today as it was then. The music industry and the power of the market has shifted towards the more modern approach. I personally don't want to have a do-over of old musical eras, but I do hope we go back to the aspects of the 70s and 80s that were the best and evolve from there.
I think that in the next 10-20 years, it could happen. What are your thoughts?
