I like a lot of late 70's - early 80's music, but not necessarily The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, punk (well, The Clash were OK, but I hate the Sex Pistols and can only occasionally tolerate the Ramones). That said, I love a lot of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal stuff from '80 - '83 (Diamond Head should've been huge), think The Police had their good moments, and I like the Kinks "arena" period, Jethro Tull's late 70's "folk trilogy" and BROADSWORD AND THE BEAST from 1982, AC/DC's Bon Scott and early Brian Johnson stuff, Thin Lizzy, Blizzard of Ozz band era Ozzy, and sue me, but even The Rolling Stones did a few alright things from 1978 - 1981, (after that, on the other hand.........). I can think of much worse eras, even if there was a lot of junk.
