80s rock music producers
ensure that famous well-repsected bands are recorded using the most expensive of Telefunken U87 microphones, 48-channel Tascam tape transports, £60,000 Neve desks, £1000-an-hour studios, original 50s Fender guitars and valve Marshall amps and cabs, spend 3 months recording and 6 months editing and mixing an album, then pass it along to a mastering engineer who will make it sound like it's being farted out a GPO telephone earpiece.

I mean, come on. Have you heard Crazy Train by Ozzy?

The 1980s was the black hole of 20th century music.

I disagree, it's fabulous and I listen to the Absolute 80s station every day
It may not be fabulous, it may just be nostalgia.

rubbish
lots of bands who were shit hot in the 70s lost their way in the 80s, so it was bad for the 70s rock stuff, but there was loads of great stuff too.

I understand and sympathise, brother.
Blizzard Of Ozz is one of those albums you really want to crank up, only to have the cats start screaming when you do.

Terrible, tinny production, though nowhere near as bad as W.A.S.P.'s.
