ROCKED of the weekEND
By Adam McHugh
Chris Smith vaguely remembers the first day he wanted his MTV. Then just 7 years old, the junior undecided major says he didn’t watch it much then, but gradually fell in love with music of the 1980s. Smith, now 21, says he still doesn’t watch much Music Television because, “The music now just isn’t as cool as it was in the 1980s.” And Smith is not alone. The music industry is cur- rently experiencing an ex- plosion of compilation al- bums specializing in music from the ’80s. Everything from cheesy one-hit won- ders to bands which are still putting out new product can be found on record store shelves. There are currently more than 20 compilation albums on the market, some harder to find than others. The resurgence of 1980s music began around 1988, when bands such as the Thomp- son Twins, Devo and Ban- anarama were nothing but a faded memory. So why are listeners so infatuated with 1980s rock now? According to Bruce Harris, executive producer of the “Living in Oblivion: The 80s Greatest Hits” series, rock of the 1980s was anything but drab and cleverly inventive. “The different kinds of rock in the 80s represent a re-invention not seen since rock and roll first hit us in the 1950s,” he said. The compilations are most popular among people in their 20s and 30s, he added, because many of them grew up in the time period. Older college students who were in their early teens when new wave and punk were king are also big buyers of the albums, Harris said.
