i will say that i think as time looks back on it, the early 80s pop stands up better then most of the mainstream slock-rock hangovers from the 70s

I used to make a pretty decent living djing '80s pop, and yet I totally disagree with your statement. I'm sure age has a lot more to do with it than anything, but to me, I have way more nostalgia for '70s disposable pop than '80s. Even on an '80s night, ABBA is a more sure dancefloor filler than 90% of '80s bands.
