Fortunately I missed that half. Guess it helped I never liked (glam)rock.

I never liked it, either - but I went straight from country and classical to thrash metal. While I'd heard heavy metal bands (my younger brother was way into them), I essentially skipped Priest and Maiden, etc.

HM was the first half of the 80s. Thrash really became mature with Metallica's Ride the Lightning in '84 and then the genre took off. (Then you had winky grunge in the early 90s - as well as Pantera, Sepultura, and mature death metal.)

Of course, in the early-to-mid 80s there was lots of great:

- rock: Halen, Journey, Loverboy, Foreigner, Huey Lewis and the News, 38 Special, Def Leppard, and more.....

- pop/alt/new wave: Phil Collins, The Police, Missing Persons, Thompson Twins, Blondie (she was really a mix all those), The Cars, The Fixx, Berlin, Asia, Simple Minds, etc....

- country: Alabama, Dan Seals, John Conlee (arguably the 'saddest voice in country music'), George Strait, Don Williams, Steve Wariner, etc...
