Sorry, didn't wear that stuff then and I am not going to now...but do as you like.

 

[Hang Glider]

Shoulder pads...(on women)

 

[Homercidal]

Just downloaded 3 memoirs of famous rockers. The first one I'm reading now is from the drummer of Guns and Roses. It's starting out pretty interesting! Some of it takes me back to the day.

Also watched The Terminator last night for a bit. Wow... Amazing how we lived without computers!

 

[beerkrump]

Pink Floyd's "The Wall"

That was 1979.

But, then you were only six. Wouldn't your list be more like Thundercats, Transformers, and Cookie Crisp cereal?

As a true 80's child, this thread is full of win. I miss my parachute pants.

Oh the 80's.

Going to the bar and having your choice of Bud, Bud Light, Coors, or Coors Light.

I grew up in Northern California.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Best thing to come out of the 80's.

 

[Steelers77]

My wife dressed up for 80's day at her co-op yesterday. I didn't know she could tease her hair that high.

 

[DeafSmith]

Hell, the 80's were just yesterday - how can people already be nostalgic about them?
(sigh) I miss the 60's.

I thought nobody could remember the 60s.

 

[bob1852]

5 hours of 80s music on the way to San Diego?

You do know Metallica took over the 80s

 

[El Pistolero]

I thought nobody could remember the 60s.

Speaking of not remembering the sixties...when I saw your new avatar I thought whoa :fro: ... then I realized it was just an airlock.

I was too young to remember the 80s but we had parachute pants and Bart Simpson sneakers in elementary school early 90s.

 

[Clann]

That was 1979.

Hell yeah, I loved my thunder, thunder, thundercats hooooooooooo!

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Seriously? the only decade worse than the 80s was the 70s. Blech.

 

[gregger]

Grew up in the 80s... probably my favorite decade. 2 years ago, costumes for Halloween:

That's how I look on any given Friday night now. Ripped jeans and t-shirt, minus the hair.

Those were the days. Definitely miss the hair metal.

 

[Mermaid]

LOL seriously bad hair, leggings worn with baggy sweaters and ankle boots, $.99 a pack cigarettes, "happy hour" with free food and watered down drinks, and a whole lot of really fun music.

I do sorta miss the 80s sometimes. I was skinny and cute and could wear high heels without falling over.

 

[jonmohno]

Tails.mullets. shortcut shirts,high tops,glambands,titerolled pants, acid washed,overtanned overhairsprayed bleached ass mother 80's. Now what? Where am i?

 

[strat_thru_marshall]

I miss my 80's hair metal cover band. Damn, that was good easy money.

I was talking about the movie. 1982 if I recall correctly... Ahhh Cookie Crisp cereal! Man I loved that stuff!

 

[arturo7]

With a few notable exceptions, the 80's were a cultural wasteland.

weak. I can name a dozen tremendously influential bands that came from the 80's.

 

[rycov]

i miss all the coke!







just kidding, i was born in 87. i didn' t do much coke then. but you guys did right?... sweet

 

[El Pistolero]

That's only 1.2 Tremendously Influential Bands Per Year...really pretty weak sauce when compared to the sixties, which came in at over 27 TIB/Y, if I remember correctly.

And then there was the fail of "new" coke...


Yeah, I know.

 

[Beezy]

Yeah I dunno about the 80s tbh. I am jealous I didn't get more of the 70s. If I could go back in time I would go to the early 70s.

 

[eknee]

Two words Miami Vice!

Pastels and linen jackets, Jan Hammer sound tracks, Ferraris, and Don Johnson leaving $100 Bren Ten magazines all over Dade County.

It doesn't get any better.

 

[user 574]

(early) 80s were awesome because I was in my teens/20's. Mainstream hair bands, not so much. I was more into this kind of music along with anyone else without excessive hair(spray) who usually were not played on MTV.




Yea, I know '78 but you get the idea

 

[lumpher]

late 70's/early 80's teen also. best hair metal until metallica came along and ruined heavy metal

 

[Beezy]

Hair metal was so gay! Metallica made it good. Then they went gay too in 2000. I actually think Nirvana was credited for killing hair bands. Thank god for them. The 90s was good times.

The 90's sucked for metal. Fun, but the music sucked.

 

[Beezy]

The 90's sucked for metal. Fun, but the music sucked.

I disagree with that. It took over where the late 70s left off. Look I am obviously not going to come to an agreement with anyone that thinks the 80s where awesome so we will just leave it at that.

 

[mattmcl]

Anyone remember the movie Red Dawn?
