Yes, most 80's music makes me sick to my stomach, but there were also some very good things to come out of the 80's. SRV (need I say more?) for one thing. The 80's also saw the rise of SRV protege, Robert Cray, a stinging blues guitarist with a incredibly soulful voice.

And of course the wonderful, wonderful Albert Collins had a thriving career in the 80's.

The 80's was a really good decade for the blues.
