This site is rare and one of a kind and immeasurably valuable to people like me.I cannot stand mainstream music-mostly because it has no energy and is boring,predictable.It has no style.I do not anymore either but I can assure you that in 1987 when I listened to bands like new order,the silencers,the smithereens,modern english,etc. I had style then because I had a kind of music that others who liked bon-jovi and madonna could not relate to.I do not hate those 2 artists now because I am older and a little wiser but I still,even as a devout christian,prefer new wave and synth music by far.It gives me energy,it has style,it is powerful and most of all,very creative.
Thanks for this site.When I lived in Houston in the 80s,I used to club at places like detour and club planet and numbers.Bands like boytronic,pluuto,telekin,sa42,section 25,dirty harry,robotiko rejikto,front 242,steven duffy,camouflage,ultravox,poisie noire,cccp,voyou,until december,erasure,and cetu javu were played so loud and sounded so powerful and energetic that I literally got high from the tunes combined with the beautiful women.It blew me away.Dancing was truly fun.Now it is a lost art for me because I do not and will not dance to rap or any oyther music.
The lack of good old modern music from 79-88 reminds me of this other love of mine.I collect old and rare football games from the 1970s.It is illegal to sell or distribute them but guess what?The nfl does not make them available so what can we fans do?You see,the musicians own the right to the music,perfectly understandable-but if they do not promote or sell it,what good is it doing for them,and also for us struggling people who love their music?I do not see much of an option.Thanks to smoke and gargoyle and all the others on this beautiful site.You got my support!!God bless!!
