Nope i wasnt born then, but i am still allowed to think its an awesome song and i actually like a good bit of their other stuff.
Tbh i dont really care what the cool kids of 1982 think about music ldo
The thing about music is that its like fashion, if you don't have the same sound as whats in now you are lame. It doesnt matter whether you are an awesome signer, have a talented songwriter and the guitarist and drummer are awesome, if you dont have the "in" sound your not going to do as well. Of course if you are good enough you will change the genre of music or something like that the way nirvana had done.
A perfect example is the Beatles, some record companies wouldnt touch them because they said that their style was going out etc etc, but they just happened to be awesome and kept it going. now if they had of waited another 10 years till the genre completly changed, what would of happend.
they probably would still of done well, would they of done as well- who knows, would they even of made it? who knows. But if all the cool kids said they were lame then well **** them and their talent.
/end of tl:dr random rant that doesnt make sense ldo
edit: thats not to say that your not allowed to think whatever you want. its not directed at you just an example. I understand the, meh i dont like them, and then nothing will change your mind. Its the same with me and kanye west. Alot of people i know like him, i was like nah he not great and now ill refuse to change my mind even though i have heard a few songs that are ok. I'll just stick to my opinion of hes over-rated.
I also hate the way some people say, i didnt like him until i seen him live and the show was great, there were all these coll dancers/lights/effects etc. i'm like go to the ****ing circus if you like that and dont allow pyrotechnics/sideshows skew your opinion of someones musical talents
/now this is the end of my rant lol
