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

@Appleblossom @Scarecrowe The Mills Sisters are well known in Darwin and the Top End if that's who you're talking about.

June Mills also sings and makes art. And is an environment and black rights activist. A very powerfully outspoken woman and Larrakia elder.

Edit : Totally irrelevant reference due to not checking out a link properly!! Oh well not to worry.

Glad I am not the only one that had not heard of them @Appleblossom lol

Yes @NNY Many a 'death wobble" in my time. Or when you suddenly hit a pebble on what you think is a 'smooth' area. Not good!!!!!!

this video should come with a warning, it's too intense. like the series ashes to ashes, if you experience it you won;t want to return to the present.
