i miss 1990-1996

1996 was one of my most heavily remembered years. and thats because of the effing blizzard of 1996, love the snow. summer '97 i moved back to the middle east. to a desert for the next 8 years. and all 8 of those owned face. just like those 90-96 years. stop complaining and go have a damn adventure instead of wallowing in the past.

Not me. My youth was characterized by disco. Yek. :lol:I skipped my Jr and Sr proms because of that.

As soon as disco ended, New Wave was right on its heels. More Yek. He He.

Late 80's rock and 90's alternative saved me from going insane.

You were just listening to the wrong music. The Cure, R.E.M., The Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees-- those weren't new wave and were nothing like "YEK". They also rivaled 90's alternative by a long shot (at least from my humble viewpoint).

Even still, while most of the new wave/pop of the '80s was shallow, I still enjoy hearing it as background music. It reminds me of that time and rose-tints my view of the world.

If you mean 80's alternative, sure. I loved those too. Unfortunately, I never paid attention to who was singing on the radio at the time. I liked REM's 80's work eg Driver 8 and Tom Cochrane. The Smiths and the Banshees seems a bit close to New Wave for me still. I mean I listened to them when there's nothing else. But, it's not the type of music I collected.

:shock: The Smiths were about as close to a British version of R.E.M. as is possible. They were basically the opposite of New Wave. And Siouxie and the Banshees were basically a post-punk band.

:lol: he He. Maybe it's just my ears with regards to The Smiths. Siouxie and The Banshees I definitely heard a lot (checking on YouTube). My wife's female cousins considered them New Wave as did I. It looks like we were all mistaken.

My tastes on the latter half of the 80's started to shift more towards the hair rock bands. But, it's that period from 1989-2000 that the bulk of my music is from. I have only a handful of keepers for this decade.
