1. You can't forget the clothes

What were we thinking?

[elshiva]

2. You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record.

:P :hug: :loveya:

[SoxFan]

3. THE ALARM!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I saw these guys twice, and they were absolutely stunning in concert.

[lizerdbits]

4. Are you criticizing that awesome bangs claw I had?!

I'm outraged! :P

[mcctatas]

6. If I never smell Aqua Net again it will be too soon!

;)

[coyotespaw]

5. So wait, you're saying the music didn't suck??

Exhibit A:

[mcctatas]

7. That's not music!

that is some arcane form of auditory torture!

[coyotespaw]

8. Notice I said Exhibit A...

don't make me dredge up more suck. You know what I do for a living, you know I can dig up the evidence...

[mcctatas]

9. How about I stipulate to the fact that while SOME of the music sucked

ALL of the hair was horrendous :P

[coyotespaw]

13. As a man who hit puberty in the 80's

I have to say that I love 80's hair, and find most of the 80's music vomit inducing...

16. This #1 hit didn't suck at all

[mcctatas]

17. I shoulda fecking known better than to click that!

:spank:

[Radical Activist]

19. hahaha

:) In the history of recorded music the 80's is the only decade I can't like.

[mcctatas]

20. Everybody bags on the 80's!

but where would the world be without Milli Vanilli???

[Radical Activist]

23. I blame 80's music for both Iraq wars and both Bush presidencies.

Don't ask me how...but I do. :)

[mcctatas]

24. Well that's a well thought out and carefully footnoted

hypothesis :P

[Radical Activist]

26. oh, don't make me start posting more videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxGGckAc1rs

What was wrong with people? Was there something in the water supply that made people like crappy music? Even the guys who used to be good started to suck...Dylan, the Stones, Clapton...the 80's hit and all of a sudden their new stuff sucked. Some of them got good in the 90's again.

[mcctatas]

27. two can play this game....

O8)

[Radical Activist]

28. Yeah, the 80's retro thing in style now is like reliving the nightmare.

Vanilla Ice was one of the last noise farts lingering from the end of the 80's. And it ripped off one of the worst things Queen and David Bowie ever recorded...from the 80's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtrEN-YKLBM

At least that song is halfway passable. Someone really needed to go around the music industry and take everyone's damn synthesizers away. uuugggghhh!!!! Its not a real instrument!!!!

[mcctatas]

21. Everybody bags on the 80's!

but where would the world be without Milli Vanilli???

[mcctatas]

22. Well that wasn't funny enough to say twice!

stupid computer ;)

[Tikki]

10. I've always thought much of the 80's women's clothes were totally...

cute/attractive.


I love the outfit Annie Potts has on in this picture.


Tikki

[mcctatas]

11. Even if I were to agree...

the hair is still awful ;)

[Tikki]

12. OK...yeah, well....

I agree.

38. Shoulder pad to rival a football players?

:D

14. Gallery of 80s ladies

From the 1989 yearbook of "Diabolique" (http://www.houseofdiabolique.com/archives/hair040702.html)

[XemaSab]

15. When are those hairstyles coming back?

'Cause that shit looks TOTALLY like what I saw in my mirror this morning. x(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. They all look like hair rock stars....

...except they aren't sweaty.

[HughBeaumont]

49. That's like, every girl in late 80s-early 90s America.

Hay. STACK.

My wife said NO to the Aqua Net. We all thought that was what Bon Jovi fans did.

[sohndrsmith]

25. and to think we'd just suffered through the 70's.... egads. n/t

[NewJeffCT]

29. here is some late 80s hair on a guy

[Enrique]

30. they have mullets

their British accents notwithstanding, every member of that band has a mullet.

[mcctatas]

31. And what would bad 80's hair coupled with not sucky 80's music

be without these two:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

32. You're saying the music DIDN'T suck?

Seriously?

[mcctatas]

33. I am saying SOME of the music didn't suck...

but the hair was maximum suckitude all across the board ;)

[applegrove]

34. The music sucked too.

[mcctatas]

35. Sweeping generalization!

drop and give me 40! Not all of the music sucked! :)

[applegrove]

40. Okay U2 didn't suck but that is about it. Da Da Da Da....

[redqueen]

36. First band I thought of...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUjIA3Rt7gk


I like synthesizers, dammit. :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP2h16m8X1Y

[mcctatas]

37. I almost went with that one too...

but it seemed to obvious :rofl:

[KG]

52. 80's music vids were so lame.

[Deep13]

39. Having been a teenager in the 1980s, the music totally sucked.

Granted, it was better than the processed, bordom-loaf being cranked out today, but that doesn't say much.

[Blue_Tires]

41. i defy any DUer to tell me THIS sucked:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3kRuJhIVIo

much more ammo where that came from....

[latebloomer]

48. That was great, thanks!!

[WinkyDink]

42. I'd love to have my 80's hair back. :)

[BarenakedLady]

43. What the hell are you talking about?

[miss_american_pie]

44. Oh. My. God.

Nice sweater.

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

45. Note the pearls.

WTH?

:hi:

How are you? Miss you loads.

[miss_american_pie]

46. Too damn busy

Ignoring a sink full of dishes right now.

The pearls are fantastic. ;)

[RetroLounge]

50. Not sure what is hotter...

The hair, the sweater or the crushed velvet couch.

As a package deal, you're irresitable...

:loveya:

[leftofthedial]

47. music has been on a steady downward trajectory

since 1974.

Hair, on the other hand, scarcely ever gets any less ridiculous.

[RetroLounge]

51. What's wrong with 80's hair?

:hi:
