I'm turning into my Dad.
"You kids and your music these days! Why, back in my day, we had great music to listen to, not the garbage you have now!"
In my Dad's defense, he never said that to me. He may have thought it, but never said it...
But while cruising Wikipedia's page on the year in music for 1984, I can see why the music of my youth has stuck so hard with me. There were some exciting, innovative bands making fantastic records back then.
