1000 years from now Starship's "We Built This City" will be hailed as the greatest musical achievement of that era.

Hahahahahah--were there any, at all ? I don't think so. Those decades pounded the nails into the crypt of rock and roll.Only the Black Crows ever came out.

You're thinking of Wyld Stallyns.

If you don't accept Tom Petty's output of the 80s and 90s as solid rock and roll, your opinion is completely without merit.

I really like the first album by the Divinyls in the early 80s. Chrissy Amphlett kicked ass. Think they were my favorite Aussie band of all time.

An acquaintance left a box of records at my house some time back, this album was in there, I was surprised how decent it was.
