LoopyLou Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 The decade that taste forgot or the best years of your life?? Ra-Ra skirts, cerise batwing jumpers, big ear-rings and even bigger hair. the more hairspray the better. You couldn't move in the ladies at josephines for cans and cans and cans of the stuff. And what about the music ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEDEX48K Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Although I was only young, I loved it. New Romantic music, all the electronic gadgets getting brought out first in America then in the UK months later. Videos Microwaves LCD watches - with loads of buttons on them and even games! Rubik Cube Walkmans CD Players Teletext BMX Satellite TV Connect 4! To name just a few...Its was the decade where every year there was a new great invention Loved it Oh and there was the A-Team, Knightrider and Mike Jackson Thriller video, when the whole street was talking about it. E.T and Back to the Future movies. Live Aid, Frankie says relax t-shirts, I could go on and on and on....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbuck Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Being an older person I thought the youth had gone mad..I mean "Leg warmers" what was that all about, the lasses who wore them looked as if their Draws had come down when they stood with feet together. and my Daughter brought home a right sad looking object who wore make up and he stared at me through his hair combed over his face ( I was informed that he was a flocking seagull fan) so I told him to take his flocking seagulls and flock off.

Titian Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I'm reliving the 80s at the moment as I recently bought Adam and the Ants greatest hits. I've now got my 2 year old and my 4 year old bopping to Ant Rap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavey Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Started Art school (Granville) agd 16 in 1980.. fabulous free time. Although, as now, I was a t-shirt and jeans dyed in the wool rocker, everyone else had the big hair, long overcoats, cavalry shirts, Bowie trou, long spikey winkle pickers.. classic. New Romantics, The 'Sheffield' sound, the new wave of British heavy metal.. Pernod, Aramis, Barry Nobles Roxy (Is that alright for yuz?).. happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 The era that brought us Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Poison, Motley Crue and anything else that shouted GLAM! Iron Maiden rocked! Metallica growled! Donnington festivals were THE place to be! 'Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter' hit Number one and long hair on blokes was the fashion. Cowboy boots meant so much more than line dancing (pah!). Hippy scarves around necks. Dave lee Roth was the best dancer, Sebastian Bach had hair to die for, Alice Cooper was Poison and Kiss put the S in Sex. I'd love to be back there......but knowing what I know now.
