Doesn't get much better. Per the Venusian insight I've been mining, 1987 is the year music and culture turned on a dime and got harder and more energetic (compare Tears For Fears' Shout vs Depeche Mode's Never Let Me Down Again, one of the songs most representative of the era's energy). Non-kid-friendly rap like Public Enemy and NWA was on the ascent, GNR broke through.
That said, there really is something special about 80s rock and pop. Everything that charted well is still being played on the radio today. Can't say that about more recent music. Like every recorded song captured the energy of the moment of making.
Sadly, indeed, sir. I will offer that, even though it won't be the old genie back in the bottle, if my read of the astrology is correct, next summer music and culture will all change on a dime again. And it looks thematically positive.

People were engaged and artists were rewarded for their efforts. Same does not apply today, Kate. Sadly.
