I disagree, but there are things that feel more dated than in the 70s and 60s... So noted.

It's not the music, most of the problem was the production. Producers went mad with all the new digital toys and everything sounds clinical and unnaturally squeaky clean. Add in the bloody Yamaha DX7 and Fairlights everywhere and there's a good reason everything sounded the way it did.

It's not clear from your post if good music/bad production means you agree or disagree with the OP. Do want to be added to one of the two lists? If so, which one? Thanks.

Complete Bollocks.
If you go on t'net and pick any random week in the 8O's and check out the chart top twenty, albums or singles, UK and/or USA, you will know 8O% of the acts and songs and the musical diversity.
If you did the same with earlier and latter decades.......one would not recognise nearly as many.
The 80's as acknowledged by most teen uni students to old gits was the most saturatedly diverse, creative and innovative period in popular music history.
Or to put it another way, ....I disagree with that silly statement and refute 11O%

That's a dirty big negative from me. Most folk I know and work with , young, and old wildly and widely say that the music released and created in that decade was a wide, rich, innovative , fun, eclectic cocktail that obviously has held up We have radio on at work 9 til 9 and about 5 percent (of about 250 folk) want the current churned out pop , every one else...particularly the youngsters want 80's music. 60s and 70s also....but mostly 80s channels. My youngest daughter is 19 and works in a beach side diner and says the 80's music nights are the best nights of the year. My friends, kids and loved ones have varied tastes in art and music and none of them hold that view. Of course there is some smashing music about now aside from the chart sh*te but just look at any random selection of top twentys from the 60s 70s 80s etc.....and note the percentage of how many songs from them are played today and one recognises.....and how many..........are not. So is it wideley agreed 80s music is dated and don't hold up? Not that I can see. Who is saying this? P.S. if some Imdbeastie Boy is conducting a polly poll.....please add me to the Disagree with the myopic statement list. ALOHA.

Add in the bloody Yamaha DX7 and Fairlights everywhere and there's a good reason everything sounded the way it did. Having been through a lot of 80s records last few years, I often feel (at least of the records I either own, or later on would disown) that some of the worst "victims" or maybe more fitting, offenders of overusing high-tech studio equipment, and then "toying" around, maybe a bit too much, were a lot of the times, these big time veterans of the 60s and 70s era, who all of sudden, were trying to keep up to date with the "MTV generation", but maybe doing so, in all the wrong ways.

Gating snare drums was the other bloody annoying must have that was way overused. Luckily there were also bands like Jesus And Mary Chain who deliberately used cheap £30 effect pedals and a low and dirty sound to revamp the musical landscape. A Lo Fi movement was born in response to the studio blandness
