I wouldn't disagree with that statement but your initial point seemed to write the whole of the Eighties off when clearly there was a lot of good music throughout the decade but yes it did get worse towards the end of the decade as DJ's and producers became more prominent and tried to cash in on everything.No obviously not all 80s songs were particularly those that spilled out of the late 70s as you have listed. As the decade advanced so the commercial chart music scene started to decay in quality overall With Stock Aitken and Waterman started their factory jumping on the bandwagon.
Its all about musical taste and how old you are and it’s a debate for fun really.
That said there was a lot of dross in the Seventies as well!
