There was lots of music to listen to in the 80's. If you veered away from the crowd once in a while you could find some really good bands. Bands that played music that is not currently being heralded as "80's Classics." Bands that played the music that you can actually remember listening to - You can even remember where you were or what you were doing, even if it was nothing you thought was important at the time. That is really what mainstream culture is trying to cash in on, every time you hear a radio station play some awful tripe and attempt to market it as the 'music of your youth.'

It's the bands that never made it big, who were at right place at the right time, exactly when you were ready to listen, whose music means the most. When you listen you can be sure that your memories are your own, and not some marketing plan that was uploaded to your brain by the mothership.

For me, The Rainmakers were one of those bands.
If I owned a Delorean that could travel through time, I would go back and see these guys in concert. Enjoy.
