No, I have no idea why my kids are all into Rock and Roll, Rap and Electronic music now. Damn kids these days.

    Yes. I’d rather my kids sing the abc’s rather than about bitches or their pussy and ass crack. Very little ‘adult’ music doesn’t have seriously adult overtones. Maybe 80’s rock with coke and pedophilia. Nah

        Give me some 80 rock bands that don’t talk about doing drugs or teenagers.

        Lol that’s what I thought. You got nothing but down votes cause you know I’m right. Denial is a hell of a drug.

          Not every song is going to be a winner. But generally speaking:

          • Heart
          • Led Zeppelin (this one is more 70’s than 80’s, but I think my point stands)
          • Huey Lewis and the News
          • Bon Jovi
          • Hall & Oates
          • Journey

          Just to name a few, all have plenty of songs without sex, drugs or violence.

          If you sit down and listen to every album straight through, sure, you’ll probably find a song that talks about sex. Because humans have been singing about sex for as long as we’ve known how to sing. It’s not forbidden knowledge for teenagers, they’re allowed to know that it exists. Some genres go overboard with it - a lot of modern rap, for instance - but you’re essentially arguing that an entire decade’s worth of a genre of music is just all trash that only talks about sex and drugs. That’s just silly, and definitively untrue.
