GREAT TIMES!! Long hair, ripped knees in the jeans (and other
places...lol), hot pink and neon clothing that would hurt Stevie
Wonder's eyes (NOT saying anything bad about Stevie!!), Headbands, wrist
bands, Judest Priest, Motley Crue and Poison written on your Denim
Jackets, The ever so popular "Jams" that made you look like you just got
back from Hawaii, The wonderful horror flicks that came out (and
actually made you jump), High Top shoes laced VERY loose and not tied
with the tongues sticking WAY over the bottom of your pant legs,
haircuts that were short and you had this BIG LONG tail that came to the
center of your back (I think they were called Rat tails but, can't
remember), Mike and the Mechanics, Thompson Twins, Huey Lewis and the
News, Simple Minds, NWA, 2 Live Crew, Twisted Sister, Duran Duran (I
could SO keep going with this music list!!) There's SO many cool
memories of the 80's!! Do share your best memories!!!

i liked some of the music but the 80's sucked in my opinion

ummmm I don't remember the 80's very well but then again, there isn't
very much that's memorable about it either lol

Why did they suck so bad for you?

does anyone remember benny and joon or fraggle rock?... no one seems to
remember those, yet they were my greatest memories, given i was born in
the 80's, but it was the early 80's

i hated most of the clothes and alot of the music. they weren't that bad
but i am only 30. they didn't seem that bad until they were over. life
was different back then. there were crooked people but there didn't seem
to be as many of them.

i remenber them. i was still a kid through most of the 80's

Oh I totally remember Fraggle Rock! Don't really remember Benny and
Joon though. I didn't watch that show. But, you HAVE to remember the
Smurfs, Gummie Bears, He-Man and Thundercats!!

i had an uncle that would melt the faces off my he man with right guard
and a lighter. lol

benny and joon was a movie... one of johnny depps first... it was about
a mentally retarded... girl who falls for an eccentric boy (jd)...
anyway... gummy bears is still on... i watch it a lot, its right after
the adventures of captain planet... love it...lol... i still have all my
he-man stuff

i remember the first friday the thirteenth movie, purplerain,bugs bunny,
runDMC. there was alot of stuff iliked.
elementary school, finding a body in an alley,shootouts,beatings(not
mine)and the mall right down the street with the big neon blue sign that
looked cool as hell when the sun went down and the orange/red sky flowed
behind it.

ha ha fraggle rock is my fav man...

wimbly, gogo, jr. that big frikken ogre and the fam..it was crazy funny
muppets back in them days...

hell I still dig the music of my favorite artist..can't get over
it...dam I miss dem cartoons as well on saturday mornings as
well...guess things like that won't last forever...now it's all
high-tech and digital effects that woooze the crowd of the younger
generation...heh heh...

anyone remember Voltron (defender of the universe) and that big frikken
sword & the lions chopping up enemies on weekday mornings...ha ha ha tis
sweet memories I have ^_^

My ex was the fragle rock fan. I was a smurf fan and had most of the
figures(not all of them made but all 101 smurfs) and a few of those
mushroom houses. I had about 300 pieces. These items were lost to our
house fire a few years back.

The music scene was very split for me. The POP music nearly all sucked.
The heavy metal side though really came to life in the 80s. What about
the music videos back then?

The clothes sucked. Anyone watch "The Wedding Singer" lately for it 80s
fashions and music. Try finding something that a red head looked good in
with all those bright colors. Our light colored skin reflect the color
of our clothes. I had a green shirt and every time I wore it I wouldf
get comments are you sick. I needed my earth tones and had a very hard
time finding cloths.

I had a blue jean jacket with several band patches put on it. That is
something I wish was still in style.

WHO CARES IF IT'S NOT IN STYLE MAN!! Wear it anyway man!! LOL!! Let
people see that you're still HARDCORE!!!

If I could get the stuff to replace it I would. Those band patches are
hard to get. It was something else lost to fire along with the original
release of Paranoid by Black Sabbath LP. Sometime you do not know what
you got until its gone.

I REMEMBER THE 80'S THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE.ALL THE LATE NIGHTPARTYS AT
THE LAKE LIOSTENING TO POSION,MOTLEY CREW,BULLETBOYS.IF ONLY WE COULD
TURN BACK TIME I WOULD DO IT IN A HEARTBEAT.THE 80;S WERE GREAT I DIDNT
HAVE A WORRY IN THE WORLD.I MISS THE 80'S SO MUCH

I loved the 80's and still do, though the last few years of it was kind
of a blur..way too much weed(clean now)..yeah I took Fast Times At
Ridgemont High way too seriously lol
Benny and Joon was one of my faves and the whole "brat pack' movies,
like Sixteen Candles, Prety In Pink ect.
The music well yeah I went with every phase there was but really got
into the metal, still into metal now. What bothers me the most now is
when you tune into a radio station and they say is "Retro Night" and
play stuff from the 80's...come on its not that long ago i isn't retro
yet...is it??
Cartoons...Inspector Gadget, He Man, Smurfs, Fraggle Rock( god I loved
Uncle Travelling Matt),Rainbow Bright,Strawberry Shortcake.
80's tv....Miami Vice, The A Team, Knight Rider, Magnum PI, Square
Pegs,Dukes of Hazzard, BJ andthe Bear...ahh good times my friend good
times.
Music wise...Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Van Halen, The
Scorpions,Motley Crue,Ratt,Poison,Iron Maiden, Ozzy,MegadeathJudas
Pries..anything that would make my parents crazy LOL...thanks Tryin To
Fly for the trip down memory lane :)

Yeah, unfortunately I went from Motley Crue, Poison, Skid Row, Pantera
(even though I still listen to them), RATT and Bon Jovi to Cradle Of
Filth, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, Lamb Of God, Slipknot, Children
Of Bodom, DevilDriver and so on. Well, I guess not unfortunately
because I f@#kin LOVE this music now!! Even though in my opinion, Skid
Row was pretty heavy for their time. Wait, was Skid Row 80's or early
90's, I can't remember? I'll have to look at the year again. Horror
movies went to freaky as hell and gory to....well....just gory but, I
guess these days we don't get the choices. Hmmmm....the government must
write horror flicks too!!

I loved the 80's. I was a teenager then. 80's music is still my fave!

I remember all the women wearing "leg warmers" - lol
I am so glad I am a man.

Believe it or not, I can STILL do that danged Rubik's Cube!!

WELL FOR THE MOST PART,I HATED THE 80'S
I WAS BORN IN THE 70'S
