But there were many other types of genres of music that never received airplay on the radio or MTV that also experienced significant evolutions or growth in that decade. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMusic of the 1980s\u003c\/i\u003e examines the key artists in specific genres of popular music: pop, hard rock\/heavy metal, rock, and country.
