There's a good reason for that  ::)

Nah, it ain't too bad  ;D

That took me back.  Personally I loved growing up in that decade, being a teenager back then was tremendous fun.

I can even admit to having bleach blonde hair, wearing a velvet suit and eyeliner!!

(well we all did, didn't we???)   LOL!

Yes, but I was thin, actually HAD hair then, and looked sharp!

I was born in the early seventies and I'm sorry, but I really didn't like much about the 80's - all that synthesizer music and the stupid hairstyles just don't agree with me. I much prefer the 70's stuff like funk and disco, camper vans etc etc even though I was very young at the time.

And eyeliner? NO WAY!!!  ;D

Oh, and Rick Astley, need I say more?  ::)

I'm all grown up now, and look at the 80's as a "phase" or "rite of passage".....

was fun at the time, though.................

Spandau Ballet, ABC, Duran-Duran, Yazoo, et al,
Good times, good music, good company.

BTW, still play and sing music from the 80's in pubs and clubs, still as popular as ever, always get asked to play it at least once a night.................

I loved the music from the 80's and still do but my fave is the 70's and soul music...... the four tops and Marvin Gaye and the temptations all very good groups :y

"I heard it through the grapevine" is a particular fave of mine, too, along with anything from Aretha Franklin.

I was 17 in 1980 so the music was everywhere. I hated the whole scene at the time much prefering the more rough & ready biker life & the music that went with it. I'm still not really into twinkly music or dressing up as a pretty boy but age brings understanding, understanding & nostalgia. I have fond memories of hopeful fumbles & Haircut 100, Altered Images, Duran Duran, Bananarama & the Fun Boy 3, even Meat Loaf crackling through a tinny speaker in a rusty old Ford, Mini, Viva, Avenger etc. & it does bring a smile. Today i'd probably get arrested/beaten up for having a 17/18 year old girl in my car (it'd be worth it!!!) more like 17/18 stone but i get 80's music now & still enjoy the Police, Joy Division, Spandau Ballet, OMD, Human League etc.
    For anyone curoius but not sure where to start buy a DAB radio (with FM) CD & ipod dock from Tesco £80 sounds great & you can listen to Asoloute 80's all day. Had DAB at home for years now & would'nt be without it. Guy. :y

I also enjoy 80's music.

You dont need a DAB radio to receive the Absolute DAB channels, you can listen to them online  :y

Fair point well made. I'd forgotten about that, get online & have a listen you lot! I use my DAB in the kitchen as i like to cook & not interfere with those watching telly in the living room. In fact i've got more CD's in the kitchen than anywhere else!! ::)

I was a scooter boy in the early 80s and into the Northern Soul/Motown/Two Tone stuff but around about the mid 80's I had a Kevin Keegan mullet and used to sit once a month at a mates house with curlers in. I would go out dressed like Don Johnson with my jacket sleeves rolled up, white pants an shoes with no socks, my shirts would be pastel colours. Them were the days ;D

I'm with you 100%. Thought it was all sh1te at the time. More recent music has taught me that I didn't know the meaning of the word back then. ;D

In the early 80's, I was mostly driving a Yellow AA Car, and wearing Nappies.

I'm knocking on 30 now, and I feel terribly old.  I make noises when I sit down (not the usual fart noises) and noises when I get up from a seat.

I dread the next 40 odd years.  :'(
