80s

The 1980s was the decade spanning from 1 January 1980 to 31 December 1989. This tag consists of music first released in this time frame. The decade began with a backlash against disco music in the United States, and a movement away from the orchestral arrangements that had characterized much of the music of the 1970s. Music in the 1980s was characterized by unheard of electronic sounds accomplished through the use of synthesizers and keyboards, along with drum machines.

Amazing how much shit it got in the 90's, considering how much better it compares to the 00's.

I hate the overuse of this tag. Last.fm users will tag a song by a prominent 80's artist with this even if the track was produced in a different decade. See New Order, The Fall, The Cure, Depeche Mode etc etc etc

If you don't understand the 80's, you have no soul.
