There are so many 80's covers out lately. No Doubt, Wayne Wonder, 311, Jessica Simpson..
"Work It" samples AC/DC.
There also seems to be a revival of Prince with "Just A Little While," "Some Girls," "Roses," which are all Prince inspired and then his performance with Beyonce at the Grammy's.

It's not just the 80's that are coming back necessarily, but the 70's as well. Sounds of Jet, The White Stripes, The Strokes and The Darkness envelop vintage rock and they're all gracing not just Alternative radio but mainstream as well. And as far as Prince is inspiring, don't forget Maroon 5, who also have his resemblance. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

I love the 80's! I wish i would've grown up in the 80's. What a gread decade of music and pop culture. MTV, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, and 100,000 one hit wonders. What a great decade.

I really never saw how the White Stripes or the Strokes sound like 70's music. Their music is rather raw, but I don't see how that qualifies it.

There is no doubt a trend towards more retro sounds, especially with certain bands, but saying the '80s are making a comeback is definitely an exaggeration.

I love the 80s. It seemed like everyone was happy during that decade.
