It's all happening
corporate money is getting behind the 80s and making it possible for a lot of 80s acts to have another crack at the cherry. This can be bad, good or merely ill advised. For example, the new Whitesnake album is actually pretty good but only cos it's deliberately made to sound like they did back in the 80s and that's my thing (80s Rock)

What good stuff has been brought back from the 80s for a second go, and what bad?

p.s. if you don't have the attention span to read a question that long and understand it then don't feel free to advertise to the world that you have ADD.
