There could be worse people to have been popular in that age group. These days you would be hard pressed to find an 'artist' that appeals to that age group that can sing live let alone write an actual song.

hey now if you had said Michael jackson, that may be different, who didnt like THRILLER? Mom had the vinyl too...
however, Anthrax put out first album in 1984, and thats what I was listening to. I didnt listen to 80s music, I listened to Thrash./metal. In 84 is also when master of Puppets (Metallica) came out, no way i could listen to Lionel Ritchie after hearing Master of Puppets... metallica first album, 1981, and Kill em all (one of my fves) was 1983
