More seriously - the 80's were a TERRIBLE time for mainstream music. It was the decade of earnestness and pseudo-intellectual piffle meeting up with a Yamaha DX7 too many. The 80's was too much Simple Minds and not enough Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Also, as much as it is tempting to claim to have "ironically" enjoyed the output of Messrs Stock, Aitken and Waterman at the time, I thought their work to be ghastly, Mel and Kim or no Mel and Kim.
