Yeah but most the hardcore stuff from back then was never meant to stand the test of time and have any great musical merit. It was largley made by people who liked doing Es and was made for people who liked doing Es. Maybe not all the time, but it was music that was all about the moment. Anyone who was caught up in that era such as myself will always find it hard to fully dismiss that music no matter how crap a lot of it sounds now because it was still the soundtrack to hundreds of pilled up nights that helped make me the person I am today. Yeah, I was digging a lot of 'better' music back then, but I haven't experienced many better buzzes in my life than being pilled up to the eyeballs and hearing $hit like Charlie for the first time. So what if it doesn't hold up musically, it made me wanna dance like a loon when I was 17 and there's something to be said for music that JUST does that and nothing more. Having said that though I do shudder when I think of what half my record collection back then sounds like! Stu
