Let's relive the 1980's

Let's relive the 1980's

Hiya everyone!!!!

I loved the 80's and I thought I would start a forum where we can relive our favourite songs. bands, TV shows, movies, fashions, celebrities, world events etc. If I had a time machine I would go back and experience it all, because as they say at the time you don't realise how special it is until it is over.

So if you grew up in the 80's tell us your experiences, what you loved and remembered etc. If you missed the 80's that is fine. we can tell you what it was like, how things were done etc. So please come and join me and reflect on this great decade......

I am going to start off by showing you one of my fav songs from one of my two fav bands (The Beatles being the other one). Still love this song as much as when I first heard it..... written by drummer Roger Taylor inspired by words from his young son.....Radio Ga Ga

Which indecently inspired the name of a current pop star...................

Re: Let's relive the 1980's

Absolutely YES @TAB re Dogs In Space - amazed that someone else remembers it! That classic scene with the redneck dad and the chainsaw stands out as another all-time classic - slams it on the table (with the hippies and musos and activists) and says "f'n beautiful machine"!!!

Found it ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ccNivHa_zk

Have a laugh on me @TAB @Scarecrowe @Adge @Bill16 @Bunniekins !!!

I'm sure I sat at that table! Spent a couple of years commuting between Melb and Syd because of my roadie boyfriend's work.
