Please don't try to argue this, you'll just make a fool of yourself. Musicians from pre 2000s did some of the most disgusting things. The victims would be told to keep quiet and it's unlikely people would've listened to them back then anyway. The Police literally made 'Every Breath You Take' which was in the 80s, no?

Music quality has gone down? That's definitely a tunnel-visioned opinion. What do you want? These 80s bands to make more music? Listen to Bon Jovi, Metallica, Def Leppard, etc, and compare their new stuff to their old stuff. Music evolves.

Modern music doesn't take chances? It's just the genre which is popular on the radio at the moment. So many artists from the 80s used samples and loops so that argument is rubbish. The music you hear might contain a more minimal texture, but there are thousands of artists making an extremely wide variety of music. A few examples:

Wet Leg
Nothing But Thieves
Sam Fender
The Technicolors
Mt. Joy
Sir Sly

And these are all reasonably popular artists. Go on spotify and look for good music instead of whining that we didn't receive 93 renditions of an overrated 'Stairway to Heaven'

Early 50s, SF Bay area, cabinet maker. I have been a Nick Cave fan since discovering him via the Wim Wenders film Wings of Desire in the eighties. The Mercy Seat is my favorite song of his.

Even though I'm a fan, he's not in my top ten. He's down the list a bit below Jason Molina (Songs:Ohia, Magnolia Electric Company), Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse), David Berman (Silver Jews, Purple Mountains), and Leonard Cohen.

I’m a huge fan and I count the time I saw him live on the Push the Sky away tour as one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

I just can’t connect to his music post skeleton tree. Of course I understand why it’s the way it is but it’s just far too grim and depressing for me to want to listen to. Maybe I need to give it more of a chance but he owes us nothing, his career up until that point is just incredible.
