3. I think it depends on where you've been musically
:shrug:

(But yeah, the 00's have been weedy. There's been some good stuff, but not a lot of it.)

16. The Talking Heads, Prince, Miami Vice (well, the first 2 years), Pee Wee's Playhouse...
There were some great things in the 80s.

11. Totally relative.
My 80's were spectacular. My 90's were deceptively shitty. My 00's started slow but are looking up.

Context and perspective are everything, right? :rofl:

12. Aside from New Wave of the late 70's/early 80's, the 90's...
Edited on Tue Dec-04-07 12:01 AM by Writer
in my opinion were one of the more artistic in music and film. The 80's contained so much bubblegum pop, and the music today is rather uninspired. There are a few gems now and then, but otherwise I truly cannot pinpoint to a defining voice for this decade. It's been lost in the ether where Youtube, TMZ, PerezHilton, and Facebook reign.
