Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
With all respect intended, the 80s were arguably the moment when popular music hit its absolute zenith. The 60s were magical, the 70s illuminating, but the 80s seemed to bring music completely to a different audience that required a diversity of sound, the first sense of expanding genres, blurring them, marketing them with aggression, the battle to be the hero or heroine on the walls of the new teenagers, the Generation X wave and to make the most of the new modes of delivering sound to the senses…that was the moment when it truly reached its moments.
