Musicians in the 80's were quite different than the musicians one might see today. These musicians didn't have the same autotune we have today. Music was more based on real music than fake vocals. The musicians had great jams that teens of that time jammed to and loved listening to. Ask any adult who grew up in that time! The musicians in the 80's and especially the musicians on this page made a big influence and will be remembered for a long time to come.
