It seems like 80's music leaned hard on melody whereas today most music is dominated by rhythm (of which I am also a fan). I get a kick out of watching the total disconnect between the lyrics of 80's music and the music videos they produced. Ex. Rick Astley sings about love and commitment while guys flip around in empty buildings and bounce of chain link fences. Mass cool.
