oh, that's right, you can't.
why? because most groups sounded at their
best in the 80s.
they were at their creative peaks,
and sadly can't be like that anymore.
sure they try to relive their old days,
and some are stuck playing greatest hits
shows at festivals and concerts.
some keep trying to make new music, which
might be ok, or better than other music nowadays.
but most fall flat, and have disbanded. or don't
care about music nowadays.
-------------
i'll admit that some groups started out rough.
i prefer midge ure's ultravox era - over john foxx.
genesis sounded better with phil collins than peter gabriel.
duran duran sounded best as the original 5, and although
they've gotten back together, they can't match their original
sound.
depeche mode is much better without vince clarke.
simple minds had a lot of line ups, but their peak
was during 81-84.
thompson twins were best as a trio.
kraftwerk went through several changes, but
sounded best during 75-84.
the cure sounded best during the 80-83 era.
echo and the bunnymen sound great today too,
but they peaked in the early to mid 80s.
i could go on and on, but it's clear that the bands that
created great music did so back then. they don't make them
like they used to.
there's a few decent bands from the 90's. but not many.
later
