After just viewing your page, I am surprised to notice that you ranked The King Of Pop, Michael Jackson, an artist that defined the 1980s, closer to the bottom of your list, yet Prince was much higher up.  |

Didn't it surprise you more that the lion's share of the acts in my top 100 made their best recordings either before I was born, or else when I was very young? |

That's what I noticed. It reminded me of the typical phrase I heard many times about the 80s....that the best music was recorded in the prior decades. Of course, that changed in the last 2 decades when the 80s, while not as good in many people's opinions as the prior decades, was still better than what came afterward. You are definitely old school.

I had stopped listening to Top 40 music and radio by 1985 (when I was 19). Somehow, "The Heat Is On," "Can't Fight This Feeling," and "The Miami Vice Theme" just weren't doing it for me! Go figure. |
