- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

I mean, the 80s were an objectively awesome time for music.
(I wasn't alive yet)
I think the big reason people think that music from another time was better is because you only get to hear the good songs; they stopped playing the shitty ones long ago.
Based off the number of absolute bangers from that decade, I can only conclude that there were either more musicians or fewer bad songs.
Seriously: there are more legendary songs than months in that decade; And there are more songs which are merely incredible than there were weeks in the decade.
Maybe all that asbestos in the air caused better music.
Probably I just like rock-inspired sound from that era. Music shifts all the time and it's just a matter of personal preference. It feels like rock splintered into fractile sub-genres which never quite hooked me in the same way.
Punk and metal had a lot of progress in later decades, but their wellspring feels like the 80s.
90s too. 00s were pretty good. Some real bangers in the 10s as well.
