I'm not saying there weren't good bands in the 80's, but that the mainstream radio and top 40 was flooding with crap. Until Whitesnake's Still of the Night, and Metallica's One the hardest rocking music you'd hear was Sammy Hagers Van Halen, which wasn't. As far as Michael Jackson was concerned he was a household name in the 70's already. Iron Maiden produced 4 of the best metal albums of all time in the 80's yet unless you were into metal you had no idea who they were, and that included The trooper being on a year end best of album. Pink Floyd was still selling out everywhere and nada on mainstream radio.

I actually didn't even know about David Lee Roth when I would hear Sammy Hagar in Van Halen. I only heard about him later.

Which is too bad. Easily the only Van Halen lineup that mattered
