Wow! Just shows you, we are all different animals; not bad, just different. The DX7 and everything I heard it on made me switch from keys to bass for about 5 years. I truly hated it. It wasn't until The Fixx (another totally UNDERRATED synth player and band), INXS, The Psychedelic Furs and other 80s stuff that I got interested in keyboards again.

I still think being a keyboard player from 1983 (DX7)
on was the greatest time to be in a rock band. So many
great songs to choose from of which "We Built this
City" was one of them.

OK, is it a bad thing that I happen to like "We built
this City"? I mean, I
am not a huge Jefferson Airplane/starship fan, but I
was a kid in the 80s
and before I heard White Rabbit or somebody to love, I
heard that song and
being a synth lover, I thought the sounds were cool,
at least. I mean, I am
more a prog head now, like Genesis, Yes, Dream
Theater, Rush, ELP, Pink
Floyd, Kansas and Styx and others like that now, but
hell, in the 80s, if it
had keyboards in it and the sounds were cool, I liked
it. Does that make me
a bad guy?
