Mitch Berg has a good piece up at his place about 80s music. Here's one that will likely leave you wondering what the heck was wrong with these people:
Yeah, the WTF quotient is off the charts on that one. Apologies in advance.
Berg totally disses the hardcore scene (it style and imageries and attitudes) that heavy metal was competing against by borrowing from in order to attain commercial success.. but thats ok, we were used to it.
I hear you, Gino. I do think you had to be there, at least in part, to understand it, and Mitch wasn't. Neither was I. I only know about it second-hand.

Gino - I"m at a loss here. Where do I mention the hardcore scene?
I was in the Cities for part of it. Hung out with some of them.
