If Music Could Talk

Who were the biggest solo artists of the 80s? Michael Jackson probably is at the top of that list, but I'd put Phil Collins in 2nd place. Madonna's on the short list. The short list of suck. Maybe the 80s were the worst what with Collins and Bruce I'm thinking you have misunderstood the title of th...

I mentioned this stuff way back and got some short shrift at the time for my views. My main beef was the stuff that ended up on Ebay without any chance of genuine fans getting them from the retail outlet. Now it's even worse with bad pressings and some (not all) bad releases.
