One of my musical regrets is being too cool to listen to contemporary music in the 80s. I was digging on Rush, Led Zeppelin, the good Stones albums. In my view, Neil Young was about the only one from that generation of artists doing anything interesting.
Then, Live Aid revived many careers that were in the doldrums. This was followed by some great albums that were both contemporary and had an appropriate level of credibility for me to listen.
When I look back now there were many incredible albums that I should have listened then but have caught up on now.
As soon as I heard the JM single I thought of 'Behind the Sun' and was transported back.
If you think 80s music was bland then you are probably like me and didn't listen to it.
I don't know who Mary Spender is, nor do I know how I would be able to take the time out to find her and, then form an opinion.
Referring to anyone as talenless, however, is, at best, a very limited critical appraisal.
If I listened to Pop/Rock it was Nik Kershaw, Level 42 , Toto etc
Anybody I knew considered people who listened to heavy 70s Rock to be sad losers like Neil from The Young Ones
It didn't get any better.
Pink colour on the guitar is great. I like that.
Keys player probably wants the director dead for wanting the keys so far apart for the stretchy-arm playing shots.
Using hex drum pads and Shure 55SH mic does not mean retro-chic.
I can well imagine that he sent the demo to Pino first (I mean, why wouldn't you?) and he was probably so embarrassed for JM that he went back to hide in the valleys or pretended he was dead.

She's a pretty good guitarist and she has an excellent voice even if the songs she writes are not to my taste.
Good luck to her.

Sorry.
In the uk it was Wonderstuff etc for indie, NME was still obsessed with the Smiths, the Pixies came along and sounded amazing.
As a guitarist first learning, I think I got into the sixties stuff a lot, and would buy all the vinyl at second hand stores, Bugaloo in Leicester.
VU, Doors,Stones, Beatles,Kinks then all the Stooges, Garage Rock and punk
At the time the charts were full of Kylie, Sonia, Wet Wet Wet, Curiosity killed the cat. Now that might have been very popular but it doesn't mean it was any good. Seems like a lot of the stuff that now sounds like 80s is more the pop/rock bands, at least back then some of it was fun with mad lyrics now a lot of it's just tame AOR, interesting the Mayer stuff sounds a lot like the disgraced Adams music that got put on hold
Did people really listen to Nick Kershaw ! What next the John Farnam revival
Maybe it will move onto the late 80s and some Rock bands will immerge or indie bands that don't just sound like 80s pop
The ironic thing is we did a track that started as a JAMC thing and ended up quite 80s with people saying it sounded like Psychedelic Furs and Middle English ( who I had never heard of) maybe that 80s thing is just ingrained
This Mayer track is like that 1985 song minus the jokes
It feels like the trend is to create the middle of the road stuff, it's like someone creating a 70s sound, missing Punk, Prog, Rock and instead creating something that sounds like Bread or marmalade, or DR Hook or wherever they are called

Rick Beato!has his own Gibson signature and by his own admission he only started playing guitar properly again after 25 years of barepy playing.
Mary Spender is good for young female guitarists. It's a male dominated arena and more young women for other young women to look up to is an excellent thing.
In 1980, I was 8, only worry was whether I was going to get another bag of crisps with my second glass of Pop while sitting on the Pub step.
By 1989 I was only concerned whether I was going to get my end away at the Weekend.
Ahhhhh, Happy Days ( No, that was the 70's).
