in hindsight,
the 1980s were a terrible decade overall for established artists and their material...
the likes of McCartney, Elton, Rod, Neil Young, Dylan, Bowie to name a few put out arguably the weakest material
of the careers during this time, theyre music really was hit or miss between 1980-89,
can anyone offer opinion as to why this was so?
my thoughts are that they were trying to keep up with new generation of musicians to keep relevant but failed
because they sacrificed their own sounds to 'fit in' and 'compliment' what was going on around them?!
