7/10 by 11 users

It was the year 80's excess reached critical mass and rock n' roll led the party. In 1987, the stock market swelled, scandal reigned and pop music turned a blind eye. 1987 saw heavy metal go light... and hip hop go white. In a sea of party rap and peroxide pop, music critics finally found their saviors. Then, black monday signaled a sobering end to america's lost weekend. 1987 was a year that saw the rise of the Hair Bands, the comeback of The Grateful Dead and the marriage of music and politics exemplified by bands such as U2 and R.E.M. Also features interviews and or clips of George Michael's "Sex" video, Guns 'N Roses, Public Enemy, The Beastie Boys, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Poison and Whitesnake.
