They shined in the 80's.....and to be honest, the whole music scene was much better. At least two major concerts a month going on....The Stones, Floyd, Yes, Ozzy, Supertramp, Rush.....and I can go on and on. Seen a ton of concerts here in Montreal. Fun times. Oh well, can't turn back time. But I can hook my turntable up to that Kenwood and slap on some vinyl and slip back in time......for 20 minutes or so, anyway, until I have to get up from my chill position and flip the album over.
