Comment:

Talk about your study in contrasts: Topping our '87 playlist is the contender for Most Serious Band of All Time, U2, followed up by the clown princes of rap, the Beastie Boys. That same year, Michael Jackson decked himself out in leather for [i]Bad[/i], while Madonna decked herself out in lace for [i]Who's That Girl[/i]. Headbangers like Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and Poison were massively popular, but so were alt-guys R.E.M., Depeche Mode, and the Cure. A very curious time.
