Not quite sure what the problem is? Can you let us know your musical taste, dylancox?

Bloody young kids these days with their trashy music I'm only 27, but the 80s bands U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, INXS etc were awesome (and that's only 3 of many). 90s music was just as fantastic. Try and top that with today's crap.

I'm into old-school rock. I have a strong objection to the disco/funky tunes from the 80s

I'm into everything from Mozart to Aborted, but I don't make everybody else listen to my music by playing it ridiculously loud in a crowded public place (unless I'm actually playing a gig).

I think early 60s to mid 2000s was a great era for music. Seems to have died off after 2005 in terms of talent and quality of song.

I crank 80's all the time without caring what people thing. In fact, I created a whole playlist on my iPod of nothing but 80's for the car!!!

What do you think the Cruze would look like if HSV got their hands on it? exactly like that! (maybe loose the intercooler)

Wow! They've gone to a lot of effort to ensure that much fail on one car. Altezzas, the stupid family sticker, the southern cross, the stripes, the cobra stickers on the mirrors, the poorly fitting rear bumper and God only knows where that rear wing is from. Yep they've pretty much got everything covered.
