What? You mean that isn't Rod Stewart???



Got to have some C&W


Music to kill yourself to at Christmas


This doesn't count as it is from 1990 but I had a thing for Amphlett (may she rest in peace).



And this is way out of the date range (mid 90's) But since it was announced yesterday that Sophie B. Knocked Up (at 50) I was more than willing to do the job 20 years ago.

When I think about the 80s it is not the music I remember so much as the films like Platoon and Wall Street....though Madonna was super big with her Material Girl and Like A Virgin hits as was Cindy Lauper. Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen were enormously popular in the 80s too.

The 80s had a lot of people dressing and acting preppy and yuppie and it also introduced punk rock....I remember seeing Billy Idol once when his big hit Eyes Without A Face came out, of course Hammer, Whitney and Bobby Brown had their day then, too.

It was a very materialistic decade and that's why Gordon Gecko's "Greed is good" motto became so famous.

I suppose punk led to rap.

This must be the most 80's of them all.

It's Wall Street, Miami Vice, yuppie, shallowness, weird glamour, avantgarde and innocence, all in a great mix:

It was about curiosity that killed the cat

80s is only 26 light years away...





(because sometimes going there, as the video is made, is the real trip to the 80s)




(sometimes even further than 30 light years)



(Until you finally realize the truth, that time is simply a quantum mechanical game of states properly rearranged together...)

That was when Gahan still looked proper

May be the '80s in a nutshell.
