Low point indeed!

80s were great for music partly because of all the great pop music. What a great time for popular music that brought people together, before final full balkanization during the 90s: Prince, Madonna, Springsteen, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, U2, and to a lesser extent the Go Gos, Culture Club, and bands like that. A pop utopia during the early to mid-80s.

But I don't disagree with you on some of the great less popular and underground stuff during that period as well. That's some of my fave music of all time.
