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...................

A Star is Born @silverspoon love that movie......I am a huge fan of Kris Kristofferson.....his music was always being played in my household....especially the songs he did with his ex wife Rita Coolidge.....great music........

Yes I was a huge wearer of the sparkly blue eye shadow, as well as the pink lol.

I loved the one day games in the 80's.....I am very jealous of you being there at the Gabba....so many mullets in the team lol........I might have even seen you on the telecast lol.

Glad you got up to so much mischief back then....love to hear that.....I am 49 so hit my teens in the mid 80's.......great time to be alive!!!!!!!

Shoulder pads made a comeback a year or two ago if my memory serves me correctly.....I still love them and wear them too I have to admit lol.......

Re: Let's relive the 1980's

@Scarecrowe some of the 80s groups that have tried to cash in on the 80s revival thing are a bit of a trainwreck, ie motley crue.

iron maiden are my faves, still in decent form and their spandex work was mostly on point in the 80s, except for when Bruce wore a sort of harlequin diamind pattern, was odd. he was wearing some 3/4 length in the early 90s, was too axl rose, not their best era.

i remember fluoro socks in the 80s and fingerless gloves.

girls here wore tight bright coloured jeans - especially for roller skating, they called them Smile jeans, but might have just been a local brand. you could see them in pink or electric blue. there were also 'shinies' which had a sheen to them, some had a glitter kind of pattern.

You are going to love this story @Bunniekins

My mum got really into this when it first came out....the only problem was at the time we did not have a VCR player....so she bought the cassette tape......sometimes I would do it with her when she was excercising but because we could not see what was happening only listen half the time we did not know what excercises to do.........in time we got a VCR so mum hired out the video and we discovered to our complete amusement that we were doing most of the excercises completely wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now you have brought back a whole lot of memories with that post......love it
