Top gun inspired me to become a pilot, Run dmc revolutionized the adidas shoe and the hiphop industry, beastie boys made history and whitney houston told me that i was the future.
What about Survivor, "Eye of the Tiger", Berlin "Take my breath away" from that amazing movie "Top Gun",Cutting Crew,and yes of course,A-ha,Julio Iglesias,The Beastie Boys,Run.D.M.C,Whitney Houston!
Iraq is still ravaged by war, aids is still on the scene, africans are still dying of famine and foreign troops are still roaming in afghanistan it seems not much has changed.
Cool & The Gang, Alpha, Jimmy Somerville, Howard Jones, Nick Kershaw, The Thompson Twins, Boontown Rats (Errr.. not sure if I got that one right), Human League, UB40, Fleetwood Mac, Def Leopard, Guns & Roses, Ohhhh almost forgot Roxet! Elton John, Kim Wild (Hummm had a thing for her), Toya (didn't have a thing for her), Blondie, OMG what about Duran Duran!!! Erasure, The Pet Shop Boys, Boy George/Culture Club, INXS, The Cars, Bryan Adams, Don Henly, ABC, Bucks Fizz (lol), Yup ABBA were there for a bit of the 80's, Aha.... Take on me.... take on me, Marilion, U2 of course, M.A.R.S. pump up the volume - pump up the volume, Queen, And yup there was also a King, Adam and the Ants, Don't watch that watch this MADNESS, The Police, ok that's enough for now... come on what a great decade.
Hey how about Prince? nobody mentioned him at all,i know he was Satanic believer and all that in the 80's but his music was awesome back then,"When Doves Cry","Purple Rain", "Kiss", "1999" and many many more! good memories.
it's really a matter of personal choice, but the 80s for me was the best time for music especially. this was the time when music mattered unlike now full of crap music and remakes.
Ultravox, Railway Children, The Cure, Care, Midge Ure, The Smiths, Flesh for Lulu, Simple Minds, The Alarm, Lightning Seeds, Simple Minds, O.M.D., New Order, James, Aztec Camera, Kon Kan, Morrissey, Violent Femmes, Big Audio Dynamite, Oingo Boingo, The Sundays, Joy Division to name a few. - these were the best contributors to 80s music and yeah Tears for Fears!
The 80's was awesome, I have no idea why but coincidental for the last couple of weeks I have been listening to Ultravox Greatest Hits over and over again.
Somwerndmiddle, 80's music did suck. I'm from the US and lived through the 80's. Rock was dying and rap was coming of age. A really sad time for music lovers. I'll take 70's music any day.
where are you from roberto? who's that retard who told you 80s music was crap? are you familiar with Tears For Fears or you're going gaga over crappy singer Lady Gaga?
If you thought the 80s were good then you didn't live through them.... The music was crap, AIDS came on the scene big time, Russia in afghanistan, Iran and Iraq fighting for 8 years, a million dead and 100 metres of territory gained, paedophile priests we are only just now finding out about, the cold war, famine in Africa.....
The 80's were good years for the German physicists. They were awarded 4 Nobel Prizes in '85 (Klitzing), '86 (Ruska), '87 (Bednorz), and '89 (Paul). But India's Subramanyan Chandrasekar was also awarded the Nobel Prize in physics ('83). So, a good decade for Germany and India.
In the 80's we used to listen to Disco music at parties,wear peckos or bell-bottoms,with afro hairstyles with flashy,brightly colored shirts with huge collars,and cruising around in long,low floor cadillacs and buicks and of course,the disco ball at the ceilings of parties! Good memories!

That decade won't be forgotten!
I agree Mr M, scarface was "the movie" to come out of the eighties and still on my top ten list of greatest movies of all time.
Iraq is still ravaged by war, aids is still on the scene, africans are still dying of famine and foreign troops are still roaming in afghanistan it seems not much has changed.

Yeah, 80's "music" sucks.
Somwerndmiddle, 80's music did suck. I'm from the US and lived through the 80's. Rock was dying and rap was coming of age. A really sad time for music lovers. I'll take 70's music any day.
where are you from roberto? who's that retard who told you 80s music was crap? are you familiar with Tears For Fears or you're going gaga over crappy singer Lady Gaga?
Same crap as in this decade, roberto. Nothing has changed, who cares for some million dead?
If you thought the 80s were good then you didn't live through them.... The music was crap, AIDS came on the scene big time, Russia in afghanistan, Iran and Iraq fighting for 8 years, a million dead and 100 metres of territory gained, paedophile priests we are only just now finding out about, the cold war, famine in Africa.....
I could go on but you get the picture.

Hang on a mo... I had a mobile phone in my car in 86, and as regards iPods.... I had a Walkman and C120's (that my walkman chewed up real regular)
Errrr.... yes the 80's did have windows. And who can remember it's arch rival Gem by DR (Digital Research)?
good thing : 80s music was great..
not so good thing: didnt have windows op system, mobiles, ipods..
Ahhhh yes the 80's.... I read about those in history.
There was no cell phones until the late 80's but even those where really big..:)
No satellite channels back then,although radio programmes were extremely popular!
sonywalkman.. was the Ipod then!
Hey! I don't see Tony Montana from "Scarface" in that picture,one of my favourite movies from the 80's.

We used to watch Big blockbusters at cinemas and once they were released,we used to rent the Betamax cassettes to watch at home.
In the 80's we used to listen to Disco music at parties,wear peckos or bell-bottoms,with afro hairstyles with flashy,brightly colored shirts with huge collars,and cruising around in long,low floor cadillacs and buicks and of course,the disco ball at the ceilings of parties! Good memories!
