:D There actually showing re-runs of Miami Vice on Bravo i think at the moment [ Afternoons]

It`s amazing how much of an influence vice was & has been to TV. It was the 1st show to incoperate modern "Pop"/"Rock" music as part of the show. They also used to use these as non verbal passages in the shows, both of these techniques are now very common but vice was the 1st to really do this.

By the Way Michael Mann the director of Miami Vice is responsible for the best "Thriller" film ever made IMHO "Heat" uses all of the above techniques but in a film enviroment. Both Mann & Ridley Scott are the only 2 film directors who actually understand music & how to use it.

that's the funniest thing i've read all week!  i mean since last monday...

historical humour, much underrated!

as to which decade's better, to me the only thing that seperates them is fashion, i don't much care which one music came from, the 50's, 60's, 70's 80's, 90's and 21st century have all produced great music ( and an unending deluge of shitee ).  people derided the 80's throughout the 90's, but now we mostly just remember what was good and the rubbish has shuffled off into history.

You are absolutely right Blue- each decade has its share of gems and lemons. Someone once said to me that 80% of pop music is cr*p but that it just depends upon your personal taste as to how you allocate it. I don't subscribe to the politically correct "if it sells it must be good" argument but I do accept that what I like might be considered to be rubbish by others ( however misguided and wrong they might be   )-one man's meat and all that. The 1960's are held up as a shining  example of everything that is good in music- but don't forget Sugar Sugar by the Archies and, for that matter, a whole lot of other Jonathan King nonsense that sold by the bucket. Keep an open mind is my motto.

:D Spike Milligan once wrote ;

"With a future unknown A present uncertain we take solice in the past "

The truth is we filter out all the bad stuff, individualy & as a society.
