Default 80's music sucks?

are u peeps insane?
in the 80's hardcore, indie rock and scum rock were born!

black flag, butthole surfers, redd kross, sonic youth, the birthday party, the germs, the swans, live skull, ut, fetous, minor threat, misson of burma, neubaten, the cramps, s.o.a, halo of flies, pussy galore, gb, jesus and mary chain, 8 eye spy, husker du, the meatmen, rites of spring
the list goes on and on.

punk finally solidified in the 80's, spawning many exciting DIY subgenres

in the 80s, the jam wrote their best material (soon to be followed by the style council, who ... well, at least they were politically active).

also there was X, one of my all time favs.

and yeah, add to c's list: the avengers, the bags, agent orange, dk, etc.
