What were you listening to in 1980?
Mostly I preferred the older acts from the '60s. I hated redneck rock and metal.
Contemporary acts I liked that got airplay: Elvis Costello, The Cars, Springsteen (although even then there seemed something bloated about his sound), Warren Zevon, maybe a few others.

Didn't dislike EC, but nothing ever grabbed me.

The Cars
I was always a Cars fan, but ended up preferring the Benjamin Orr songs.

Springsteen
Meh - a song here and there - I always thought Bob Seger did that kind of thing a lot better.
quote:
Warren Zevon
I probably only heard Werewolves until I was 15 - - I like a lot of the WZ as I get older - Lawyers, Guns and Money is one of my personal theme songs.
Honestly, I think that whole group you named is lumped under the category of "Classic Rock" now -
