ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Stella, they were fucking terrible! They gave "garage bands" with 16 year olds a bad name! And what is a "doo-wap" kind of guy? Popeye I'm pulling your leg.. and I guess (as I can only guess as you haven't said) that you prefer music from the 1960's and if this is the case I would have to agree that the 1960's was the defining decade for popular music, and yes there was a lot of crap in the 1970's and 1980's but there was also a lot of good music too. Doo-wap? Well it's those bands from the 1950's and 1960's that had the male backing vocalist singing 'doo wappa doo wappa doo' along to the main singer, such as Gene Chandler's Duke of Earl. And if you think that the 1970's was bad, well what do you think of the 1950's? It was all beige, bland, (rather like today's music in fact but that's just my opinion) and positively vomit-inducing until Elvis Presley came along. There's an older generation that I have a great deal of sympathy and respect for, because not only did they experience the Second World War during their childhood, but they somehow managed to get through their teen years in the 1950's.
