"Looking back it certainly had more variety then most other decades. Hip Hop, Electro, Synth, Goth, House, Trance, Heavy Metal, Indie, New Wave, Ska all were either created in the 80's or had their height of popularity during the 80's." | |||

"early 80's was brilliant but then those talentlless pratts stock aitken and waterman came along in the middle of the 80's and completly destroyed the remainder of the decade "very true they killed the rest of the 80,s | |||
| |||
| |||
The 80's were great for quirky stuff - Classix Nouveau, Blancmange, Philip Jap and so many more weirdos who are now bald chip-shop owners | |||
"As a singles buyer for Our Price Records in the very early 80's, I'd like to thank you all for the XR3i that I bought and consequently wrapped round a tree 2 months later

"I love 80's music, especially bands like Van Halen, Guns n Roses, pretty much any of the rock bands. Except Bon Jovi" Me too, I liked the 80s rock scene, the above plus Kiss and Def Lepard. I liked all that big hair and spandex, its why I'm into Steel Panther now. I was mainly a fan of alternative music though rather than the pop type music. My fave artist was Marc Almond, but I liked Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, didn't mind a bit of Duran Duran here and there, my fave tune of there's is The Chauffeur, loved Depeche Mode, Japan, The Cure (until they did the ridiculous Love Cats), Siouxsie, and Devo, they were fab | |||
"No mention of Phil Collins yet? I sometimes struggle to think of who my favourite musician/band of all time is, but then I remember just how many songs this guys done that I love, it could only be the Philster!" Agree Phil is king . I went to see roxet a few months ago x | |||

"Like all decades, there was the good and the bad. The 80s was great for indie and alternative music inspired by late 70s punk and new wave. It was pretty rubbish for rock until grunge came about to blow away all the hairspray and curls. And it was pretty dire for dance music, thanks to SAW, until the rave scene started taking off unless, like me, you were dancing to New Order, Sisters of Mercy, Iggy Pop, Tears for Fears, The Fall, Soft Cell, Banshees, etc. Unfortunately for every Human League, Heaven 17, OMD or ABC at Rewind, you will get a Level 42, Starship, Rick Astley, Cutting Crew or Mike and the Mechanics." I will have you know that Starship and Rick were brilliant last year!!! xx | |||

I'm just so glad I never changed my dress sense and don't have to look back at embarrassing old photos from back then | |||

"love it although i love music from the nineties seventies and some from the sixties all the music from the past five or six years has been shit " make that the last 20 yrs most music from 1990 onwards is not music at all just a terrible noise from ppl that can neither sing a note or play a decent tune | |||
"Wanted to see secret affair in the 80s got to see them 2 years ago at Kelso scooter rally was a real blast from the past. Would loved to have seen the lambrettas. The Merton parkas purple hearts but never got the chance "Purple Hearts are still going, Bob still looks about 20 too lol. Although the ska/mod revival stuff listed on here is more late seventies than crappy eighties music I would say | |||
