Songs that didn't age well (1 Viewer)

Van Dyman

Probably the only song I can play on bass. (I'm not very good...it's my little girl's instrument)
Rule of thumb for @Otis: If an 80's band is still making records, still touring, still filling amphitheaters...maybe their music didn't age so badly after all.

Sounds you just have a pretty specific kind of sound you are especially enjoying. It is fine, but no reason to disrespect Licensed to Ill. It clearly had a major impract on rap and is not a novelty album.

The shamelessly sell the Kiss brand like it’s the Nike logo. They’re even selling Kiss coffins.

Don’t get me wrong though. There are also some fantastic, timeless heavy synth songs from the same era. It just seems like the songs that were kind of bad but catchy at the time have turned just to really bad over time.

Sure but also a lot of it sounds fantastic. There were plenty of god awful electric guitar based rock bands/songs in the 80s. I'll throw out Cherry Pie an obvious example.

I may have been too harsh before. Some 80s synth stuff is ok, dmode and omd for instance had some good songs that still hold up.

I guess for me, I always hated the hair metal bands so that’s just bad music. Some of this synth stuff (I’m sure there is a better term but it eludes me now) was stuff I used to like when I was younger. That’s what gives me the opinion that it didn’t age well.
Another example is One Night in Bangkok which I loved back in the day.

What was the major impact, asking seriously? I can appreciate the evolution of the beasties, but this album was a contemporary of PE and NWA, this was party music. I'd say that music evolved the genre more significantly, where did License to Ill take things assuming thats what you mean by impact.

I hear you. It's also always going to be subjective. I think that Bangkok song sounds good still, but I wasn't around for it's first run. It clearly has aged but it is still fun.

They changed the course of hip-hop. Russell Simmons has said that Beasties changed his entire perception of hip hop. He saw that hop-hop and punk were coming from the same place, that there was a huge white audiance for hip hop and that hip hop could be more a major player in the future of popular music.

I mean, Iluv80's, Led Zeppelin essentially invented genre in heavy metal with their debut, I think it dwarfs this misguided idea it sold to white audiences what they were already buying.

Basically the same time. Walk This Way with Run DMC came out July 86. Beastie Boys released their first single in April of 86 and the full album came out in November.

The Super Bowl Shuffle was released in December '85. So Jim McMahon beat The Beastie Boys as the first major white rapper.

Easily twice as bad as you've imagined. FFS, "Veloria" makes me want to puncture my own ear drums.

There is a good appreciation for guitar music today for sure. A lot of it comes from Gutier Hero and Rock Band. However, more electro dance style pop stuff is reallt big right now. Current popular music can trace itself much more to the the 80s new wave than any 80s rock.

I doubt there are many people who used to like the Pixies but later changed their minds.

Except lots of these dummies still paint their face and stick their tongues out like idiots. There is a better excuse for their behavior than money but it too starts with m.

I actually think their music held up better than most of their genre contemporaries. That is more of a statement about how awful that music was than anything positive about LP.

If we're just naming lousy bands that remain lousy if you listen to their stuff again, then I'mma go with Creed.
(Actually, I feel sorta bad about typing that. Blowfish probably didn't suck out loud as much as Creed.)
