je1 healthcare posted:I kind of wonder if it's gotten easier to penetrate the billboard top 100 due to overall music sales being a fraction of what they used to. Music industry revenues peaked in the year 2000 and went in freefall ever since. Even though musicians kept making music in even greater numbers due to technology making it more accessible. So what do we need studios, producers, and labels for? I would say so, although breaking through the top of the charts is extremely difficult now compared to back in the 80s. There's not a lot of songs churning in and out of the top 10. The charts back then had a lot of that going on. I'm honestly surprised these songs weren't as big as I thought they were. These two come to mind pretty quickly when I think of hit tunes from the 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuN6gs0AJls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU

I was in a war with someone on his BBS. We were friends once and I introduced him to someone I knew. The result from the chaos is I remember he liked Mr. Mister. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NDjt4FzFWY

On the topic of 80's music, I think Grace Jones never gets mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0XLzIswI2s (NWS, some titties, bums and sausage) I liked the song as a kid but didn't hear it again until a couple of years ago. The video is neat because it's so steeped in the zeitgeist of 80's photography aesthetics. My dad was into photography at the time this video came out and I used to read the photography magazines and books that he bought. This video is basically everything that was in those books.

The charts back then had a lot of that going on. A good point, is there less activity on the top 10 now? It makes sense, even thought it's much easier for any artist to make and self-publish music, they have less opportunities to gain mass-market exposure outside of a relatively smaller demographic of people that are seeking out new acts in their favorite genre instead of listening to playlists of stuff they're familiar with. I guess. If people aren't watching television or listening to the radio, then what other avenues do they get "fed" or introduced to new music?

80s cheese https://youtu.be/i17mgRK3GX8 New order https://youtu.be/lRgHSxWnhqk 808 fire https://youtu.be/V3QHj7lai9I Freestyle https://youtu.be/qcQexz1iU5M Company B https://youtu.be/-b-6ksMdkrU For me 80s new wave was my gateway to industrial and eventually breaks and drum & bass. I'm sure nostalgia plays some part for me but I've always been a sucker for big synth chords, so 80s music always made me happy.

80s into mid-90s music was, if nothing else, extremely well produced. As the 90s wore on, the overuse of bass, loudness, and throwing in more and more levels of effects just felt like we've created a modern sound slurry without any real identifiable sense of self to it.

Counterpoint: Ministry's "Land of Rape and Honey" came out in 1988, and "Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste" came out in 1989. If you can't appreciate industrial then I just don't know what to say.

Both of those are well produced, there is no overuse of bass (and while not quite as awesome as Twitch) are def good albums, which is in agreeance with what the poster was saying?

Every time I hear the word Industrial re: music I can't help but imagine a bunch of German people going to work at steel mills or whatever they have in Germany and wearing big walkman headphones to listen to industrial music on the train This isn't a criticism of Industrial just an observation

I dunno why Al Jourgensen was so embarrassed by the New Wave era of Ministry, sounded good to me.

"Deeper shade of soul" by Urban Dance Squad was apparently 1989. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Dw6q-5iaA It feels a bit more ahead of curve than that, though, to the point I'd probably thought it more a 1991 or 92 song given how much music was shifting around those few years.
