well actually i cant say a lot about the 80's , since i was only born in 1984 (i don't remember much), but, seriously, what a cool decade... best decade ever imo what kind of haircut did you have in the 80's? if you could go back to any other decade than the 80's which would it be? |
||||||||

80s. It's the 80s. If anything it's '80s. |

the 1580s were better. such crazy fashions! god it beings back memories... |

I think one of the decades JESUS was alive was the best, probably the one he died and was resurrected in. Resurrection is so awesome. |

I still believe it's not too late to stop releasing any new music and just start releasing every record from 30 years ago, sequentially, as they came out, but 30 years later, ie whatever singles and albums were released in December 1976, then release them ALL in December 2006, but no new music AT ALL. Because I think we've failed the 80s and 90s and are facing a bleak future. |

the 00s have been pretty shit so far. |

Yeah it might be my favorite decade. It was the total package. The music, the movies, the hockey, everything was stellar. I hate 80s porn though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for music.... i think it was one pretty impressive time... synths finally became cheap... and making music didn't require being someone like . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Even though I'm nostalgic these days, the 80s and it's stereotypical music and clothing was awful and I hate the current fashion trend that involves bringing some of it back. |
||||||||

i wanted to be Don Johnson in the 80's |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I don't listen to much music from the '00s. It's been poor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh god, me too. I bought a Don Johnson aftershave once.. well I mean, he was on the poster, I don't think he created it or.. wether it was supposed to smell of him. Drunken_M, what's "its stereotypical music and clothing was awful" meant to mean? ALL music created in the 80s was stereotypical? Or just the stereotypical music from the 80s .. like.. synthy pop? I go back to bands like Duran Duran and they sound 100 times better than they even did back then. And don't get me going on Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Propaganda, my ears and brain just explode, actually. .. EXPLODE. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just the music that was stereotypical (pop) of the era. It wouldn't make sense to talk about everything and call everything stereotypical. Cohen was active in the 80s, and he was good, but yeah, all that synthy shit like wham or whatever. (Frankie Goes To Hollywood.. haha, RELAX! Gayest video ever! I remember I had a game with a very similar name (... goes to hollywood?) for my commodore 64, but I can't remember exactly what its name was). I also hate the fashion clothes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also think quite a bit of the music and fashion I hate is on a sliding scale going over into the 90s... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The game was called "Frankie Goes To Hollywood" and was based, somewhat loosely, on the themes of their songs and the imagery. I had that for the Spectrum and think I went as far as to complete it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how odd.. I always remember my brother pointing out that there was some slight difference in the title of the game from the band or something, but.. oh well... I don't think I understood much of what the game was about.. some halls and rooms and checking drawers and stuff... it was all so complicated.. I never even figured out how to make the commodore play "fur elise," but I tried a few times. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I remember that game, for the C64 as well. I could never get started with it! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
god damn these screenshots are in colour! I only had green and black! haha, it's weird, I was playing this game and never understood what anything meant (it was in english!) |

the '80s did bring forth at least one awful, awful thing - all these people endlessly reminiscing about how great the '80s were. oh and the rise Lenny Henry. |

the rise of Lenny Henry. |

wow.. that 80s/90s 'sliding scale' is the precise era that defined/s my life. Amazing that it had so little appeal for you. well, different strokes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

The music was mostly crap, people looked like crap, there was grunge and space pop, the beginning of techno untz untz untz... Somewhere in the 90s I was listening to Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins and I tried listening to it a while back.. the only music I listened to back then that has somehow kept itself just on the line of OK is The Presidents Of The United States Of America. All design was awful too, especially colour schemes and any perception of youth culture by anyone who wasn't a youth (people making programs for the youth culture). If there's any decade to bring back stylistically, it'd have to be the 50s for clothes. For music I'm satisfied with the now, there's lots of good jazz and electronic stuff. |

That's not the 80s' (god, another variation) fault, its only crime (Crime, Crime SEX CRIME) was too be Too Good, and that if any time is at fault, it's The Now with its Rubbishness, leading to crushing realisation that the best of Pop has Passed Into The Past. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In the 80s and 90s pop music was making quantum leaps forward every 3 months, now the only advances being made are in Marketing and the Flogging of the Dead Horses. |

god damn it man,you are so correct. GOD BLESS THE 80S. |

AND LENNY HENRY, DAN. LENNY HENRY. |

Ok, only the 1980s would have allowed someone as unfunny and generally crap as Lenny Henry to get on. Only the 1980s would have allowed something like "Chef" to get beyond the "Hang on, this is complete shit, isn't it?" stage. |

then, as now, you just have to look hard to find the good stuff, but it's always there and progress is being made the problem is that to get information about new stuff you need a good source of information. xltronic was one, but now it's just people. |
||||||||
|

lots of good stuff from the 80's it just wasn't mainstream. I think the 2 best things from the 80's are the tr808 and Rap was better then. You can pick and choose what you like from the time, but living through it was different. As a kid I wasn't immersed in underground culture. I was mostly bombarded with Whitney Houston and Bon Jovi. Lots of Madonna and hmmmm. Thats all I remember. I remember pacman for the first time and all the Rambo movies. I saw Return of the Jedi and ET in the theaters. I was jealous of the Goonies. Lots of florescent clothing. I remember seeing black kids break dancing on cardboard boxes and NYC was awesome back then. Total freak show. |

are you talking about xltronic when you were younger? What's wrong with all the free mp3s by maligned/ non maligned unsigned artists? |

I forgot about Phil Collins. He was all over the fucking place in the 80's |

Maybe it was just starry-eyed childhood optimism, but the 80's/90's era had an honesty to it that is completely lost in our current 'postmodern' culture, where nobody takes anything at face value and everything is trying soooo damn hard to be 'ironic,' 'random,' and clever and ends up just being sour and boring. Back then, music still had exciting, fresh sounds and melodies, the clothing was neon, stonewashed, and ebullient, and styles in general bubbled over with youthful optimistic energy. I'd take that over 30000000 samey iTunes mp3 downloads, 'vintage' hipster crap, and Family Guy any day of the week. |

no, it's just a year or two ago.. when tolstoyed was into good music and recommended it. there's nothing wrong with the spam, but obviously it isn't enough. |
