That's crazy talk there :)
I couldn't possibly disagree more...You'd have a better chance of convincing me that Ashlee Simpson was classic rock than in getting me to consider an album that set up a wave of gothic-influenced industrial sounds that lasted throughtout the 1990's that was released 45 DAYS BEFORE THE "90's" STARTED an "80's" album....
NIN is so much more relevent to the early 90's than the late 80's when the last trickles from the hair bands were seeping out. Pretty Hate Machine was released at the very end of '89, and it was completely different than anything else that was going on at the time. It was the harbinger of the new rather than a look back at what was passing.
Honestly, I see the idea of calling PHM an 80's album as about the same as calling the Beatles a 70's band because that was when "Hey Jude" was released, and ignoring everything relevant about them from the 60's...
KharBevNor:
But we're overlooking the fact that all that stuff it spawned was shit.
The 80's rapes the 90's in many ways for the music scene, especially in the mainstream.
Johnny C:
There is no way that a decade in which Poison was not only mainstream but well-liked can be better in terms of mainstream music than any decade.
saturnine1979:
Careful Johhny C., the 90's produced crap far worse than that of the mega-shit that is Poison.
The words "Boy Bands" mean anything to you?
How bout C&C Music Factory?
Vanilla Ice?
Case closed.
There's shitty music in EVERY decade.
