Much disdain for Super Slick country music:
Randy Travis Oak Ridge Boys Garth Brooks
Piss poor popular country music that made the world think that all Americans had every album in their collections. I didn't like it then and don't like it now.
Sports:
Dallas Cowboys. I barf upon, "America's Team" eh? yeah... MY ASS! ...perhaps the nickname started in the late '70s, but it oozed over all through the eighties.
Washington Redskins... the drugged out sports franchise. Dang retards.
Pete Rose. Yep, he's a bigger than life alright. Bigger than life a-hole. Theee criminal sports hero extraordinaire. It's easy to replace that dick-head with athletes that play by the rules and become the best at their game.
Movies:
All the Superman movies! Okay, one of them was made in the late 70's however the lions share are all 1980s. Make a note of it, everybody. I F*CKING HATE SUPERMAN! What's the fun of having omnipotent powers!?!? Answer: NOTHING!!! I mean, holy-crap, he can fix every problem ever encountered by simply making the World turn backwards. Hence, reversing time and undoing any bad thing that he wishes. The character is just plain boring. Kryptonite doesn't make enough apperances to save that sorry-ass movie franchise. Even his girlfriends' are homely.
Advertising:
Budwieser's Spuds McKenzie dog. The entire campaign was testament to the low common denominator demographic.
All the print advertising that featured neon colors, "torn" edges and white or light colored text on black backgrounds. "Oh! Lookie!" We're breaking all the rules and aren't we clever!?!? That dumb trend died as fast as it came on the scene, thank gawd.
Fast Food:
Kangaroo meat. Do you think Jack-In-The-Box burgers were better with Australian Road Kill added? Some say they just don't taste the same since they've been banned from the practice.
Cars:
X-11 What was that ugly piece of shit by Chevy? Oh. I remember, "the X-11" Holy crap! What hunk of junk! And it was a "performance car". So dismal it defies description. They chopped a car in half and did a poor job healing the wound is it's hallmark styling.
Also, the Cadillac Seville circa 1980 got the half-trunk treatment too. Truly a gawd awful looking shit box.

Cheesy movie soundtracks. I watched "Back To School" the other night, great movie, godawful soundtrack. i LOVE this song: Whatever floats your boat, but it annoys the hell out of me.

Go say that to the Welsh coal miners who were so BRUTALLY and FASCISTICALLY attached by Thatcherism, the families who could not feed their children anymore because they lost their mining jobs while Thatcher and her MORONIC RIGHT-WING FASCIST PIGS were feasting at Downing St.....they'll WANTINGLY have her LURID DEAD scalp right now if they could.....DIRTY ROTTEN FASCIST RIGHT-WING PIGS !!!!

You should be happy about that, I thought coal was a "dirty" source of energy. If leftists had their way, ALL coal miners around the world would be out of a job. Your crocodile tears are laughable.

As many of the resistance partisans who fought against the RIGHT-WING FASCIST PIGS during WWII side by side with American forces said: " Next time we encounter these RIGHT-WING CONSERVATIVE CAPiTALIST PIGS, there will be total fire and we will DESTROY THOSE RIGHT-WING faces FOREVER"!!!....I think the time is RIPE again, hehehehhehe

Dude, you are out in space somewhere. Commies are LEFTISTS! Nazi Germany was LEFTIST and today's Germany suffers from, mostly, leftist policies. When the average person is taxed nearly 40% that's NOT capitalism. The latest financial meltdowns are a result of quasi-Socialist Government policies, NOT of hands-off capitalism. You're wrong in nearly everything you're saying and no amount of can change that.

Although Bluecheer surely had good intentions when starting this thread, I'm wondering if it's intent has strayed from the original topic? No offense, but maybe we should move this one to the "Lounge" and allow it to carry on in that category? Don't get me wrong...I'm all for the debate about the 80's and what we did or didn't like about that epoch in time, I'm just wondering if we should separate it from the "rock talk" section of the forum as it appears to be going in a political direction. Pete, Jesse...I'll leave it to you guys to decide... Thanks Kim

Thanks Kim Why can't I talk about the 80s and it's NEGATIVE lead to this GLOBAL crisis without some "know-all" butting in saying that I'm out i space just becuse I speak against right-wing ideals and what they have brought to us and are still bringing to us (e.g. WWII!!! ...for me it's OK to move it to the Lounge:)

Hey Snakes... No problem mentioning what you have to say... No problem at all... I'm simply putting it out to the other moderators on the board in that maybe we should slide this conversation over to the "Lounge" and seaparate the talk from the usual "musical" topic that goes on here. I didn't mean anything wrong against you by stating my piece here... I just thought it might be appropriate if we moved it to the other site...no harm in that now is there? For what it's worth, you raise a really good point and surely is worth a rebuttal from those of the forum that wish to respond to in kind. Blue Cheer's original post unfortunately didn't define the contributions to be musically intoned...but after seeing it turn as political as it has, I thought maybe it was in our best interest to move the thread...and thought it best to confide in my compatriots here...namely Pete and Jesse. Thanks Kim

You are clueless. You know absolutely nothing about which you speak and actually seem proud of that. If it were up to you the USA would've been subjected to 4 more years of Carter's leftist policies which led to high interest rates, gas lines and our country being the laughing stock of the world. It is Government-first leftist dipshits who are bankrupting Europe one Country at a time by way of the European Union. It is leftists like Obama and his party who want to dictate what we can say, what we can eat and how much discretionary income we are allowed to have. If that's the world of your utopian dreams, maybe I can see where you're coming from. If not, then you need to buy a clue as to which side of the political spectrum is for freedom of the individual and which side wants to compromise individual freedom for the will of the collective. You can say plenty of bad shit about Reagan and Thatcher, but their policies did NOT lead to where we are now, if anything they stalled it from happening sooner. And to compare either one to Hitler is historically ignorant. You really need to get your facts straight before typing stuff that is provably false.

I'm sorry for reading up on subjects and having a working knowledge about what I speak of and being able to back up what I say with facts. I guess we should just let you speak your tripe unchallenged and the world would be a better place with ignorant folks like you spreading hate against straw men. In all these political threads you have not offered up any discernable facts to back up what you say, you just keep repeating the same vague lines over and over. If you would be more specific in how "right-wing" policies have screwed up the world, I'm all ears, but in 6 posts, you haven't said a thing to make anyone with an once of common sense understand where you're coming from.

Snakes is correct.
The "Conservatives" in 1980s America spent like a bunch of crazed Barbie-clones. I have no idea what is conservative about that! Also, the "Conservatives" propped up every tin-pot dictator in every corner of the world that had resources to exploit no matter how abhorent they were as long as they were in line with the "bottom" line. The Left is not much better though. They're like "Conservative-Lite".
What we have here is massive smoke screen with the Left and Right. What we should focus on, in my opinion is the anihilation of Civil Liberties and the Corporate Nanny State. In America we've got a very few elitetist billionaire mutha-f'ers within the good 'ol military industrial complex, banks and healthcare industries that are leading their toadies in high places of government around by rings in their noses. The hardware and systems these corporations create are no where near profitable in a capitalist system, so it must be a Socialist agenda... or perhaps even quasi Fascist system just like Snakes states. Our dumb-ass leadership (Ooops! Yep, Obama is guilty!) has suspended Habeas Corpus and at the same time is stoking the fire in Afganistan and Pakistan. I should tell you that Pakistan is a 50/50 split with Western friendly folks and radical, religious whacked-out muslims. And their country is not like a dirt clod either. They've got state of the art nuclear warheads upon the top of highly developed delivery systems. Yep. Missiles, Baby. Missiles. Wholesale, bargain rate human killing at their fingertips.
If we were really smart, we'd slap these government toadies silly and throw the corporate elitetists into a ditch.
Put that in you pipe and smoke it.

If we were really smart, we'd slap these government toadies silly and throw the corporate elitetists into a ditch. Put that in you pipe and smoke it. Snakes is NOT correct, however, YOU, Trexx, bring up some good points. The U.S. DID spend like drunken sailors throughout the 80's. Reagan and Bush were President, so in a sense, the buck stops with them and they SHOULD be accountable. However, it should be noted that BOTH houses of congress were controlled by Democrats, it is THEY who appropriate all spending in the form of the yearly budget and spending bills. True, Reagan and Bush approved, but alot of the massive spending was generated as a result of Democratic Senators' and Congressmen's pet projects. No doubt Reagan got his fair share of the budget for defense spending too. The U.S. also DID prop up some horrible dictators for an embarrassingly long time. This was a result of the U.S.'s "enemy of my enemy" policy. Sure, it looks foolish in 20/20 hindsight to have propped up the Taliban who were fighting the Russians and Saddam Huessein who was at war with Iran, but certainly no more foolish than FDR helping out "Uncle Joe" Stalin during WWII. It happens. In hindsight, those weren't very smart moves, but with the knowledge we had at the time, it seemed the prudent thing to do. Now, how all this has anything to do with the '08 financial crash or the European Union woes or how this makes Reagan and Thatcher the equivilant of Hitler, I'm not seeing. Your second paragraph is dead on. We should focus on the attacks on civil liberties and not be so concerned with exactly where they are coming from left or right.

Ohhhhh how you get stuck up when the RIGHT-WING PIGS like Reagan / Thatcher are attacked!!! Haahahahha, YOU are the laughing stock of the Net because I assure you there are many people looking on this thread and they're laughing their heads off when some posters here talk about the "political spectrum", etc. Some posters here have YET NOT replied to my post on how THE U.S. FOUGHT SIDE BY SIDE with the partisans in Europe to rid IT OF THE RIGHT-WING CAPITALIST invasions by Germany! Were the partisans / resistance forces of that time RIGHT-WING to?? Oh, LET'S COME OFF IT, why dontca!!!!, hahahahhaha:)
