          80's Music and Artists

          The 1980s saw the emergence of pop dance music and

"New Wave". As the term 'disco' fell out of fashion, the genres

such as post-disco, Italio disco, Euro disco became more

popular. When we look at 80s music fashion, it's more high-

class than now. Rock music such as New Wave, glam metal and

soft rock continued to enjoy a wide audience. Adult

contemporary, quiet storm, smooth jazz also gained popularity.

           In the pop music, we can see Michael Jackson and

Madonna who were very powerful musicians during the time.

Michael Jackson's Thriller albu m from 1982 is the best selling

album of all time. Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, Bon

Jovi, Prince and Janet J.ackson also achieved tremendeous

succes throughout the world. In the rock music, we can mention

about Queen, Bon Jovi, Quiet Riot, Europe, Whitesnake,

Poison. We can see also the emergence of Guns N roses and

Aerosmith. Contemporary R&B originated in 1980s, after the

musicians made the music more danceable and modern. The top

R&B artists Michael Jackson, Prince, The Whisper, Stevie

Wonder, Rick James , Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.House

music and electronic music also emerged in 1980.

So I can say that the best-known artists and music

styles stem from 1980's fashion. Almost all musicians who

became popular in the 1980 are still listened by millions of

people. The music styles are also the most popular ones.

Consequently we can consider the 1980s as a de luxe music decade.
