Probably the radio stuff LOL <hides in shame>
I don't like 80s metal. It was all about babes and hooking up and partying.
Poison is most certainly garbage, but we'd both have to agree that's hair metal.
I love 80s music (Joel, Young, Non-gospel Dylan phases, INXS, Journey [somewhat], Simon, Gabriel, etc), just not the metal. The transition from the greatness of the 70's to that of the greatness of the early 90's (Lo-fi, shoegaze, grunge, etc)... you just have this low hanging fruit of a weird time in music (Metal, and again, for me), where it was more anthemic and shallow and party/sex based. Whether fair or not.
