If anybody ever says to you that 80s bands were rubbish, just show them this. Brilliant.

@ajs41 3 жыл бұрын

80s bands were amazing of course, not least Japan with their Tin Drum album from 1981, which is my favourite album of all time.

People who think the 80s are rubbish are the same fools who think today is better than the past - laughable. Long live the 80s.
