hmmm.. just a couple of things in favour of the 90's..

Seinfeld - thank god for jerry & co... they defined the 90s! how else would we know how to deal with low/high/close talkers, smelly cars, implants, marine biology, spongeworthiness, muffin tops, reverse/forward parking, ordering soup, double dipping, and yada yada yadas...

The Internet - bringing porn into our living rooms... i look back during the eighties when i was in primary school.. how hard & troublesome it was to get our hands on a simple girlie mag... thanks to the internet, highschool boys these days have it soooo easy... and also, thanks to the internet, we can download music and movies to our hearts content ~~

hmmm... some more later.. cant think right now as brain not working... (at work ya see)..

The 70's were far better than either !

Arguing about the 80's v 90's is arguing about Cummings v Molloy, whereas the 70's is equivalent to Matty Lloyd, Its that far ahead !

Bur over here in Oz, you might have an argument. It's the only era you had a distinct music scene and of course the all-conquering Mighty fighting HAWKS

Um.... I don't remember too much of the '80's! :eek:

But I did see a re-run of Terminator not long ago and was surprised at how badly it had dated and how daggy it looked. Especially in that scene near the start when that chick is dancing around the house with the headphones on! Major cringe!

As for music, well I think I skipped the 80's, going straight from the 70's into the 90's, though I do remember Pseudo Echo! They were used as half time entertainment at last years Storm / Sharks game at the MCG.

Pess, I almost argee entirely with you. Matty Lloyd is more the 90's than 70's. The 70's rule man. The 90's was fuked.

Early 80's music was some of the best music in history, but the decade was ruined by some of the worst music every created, which came about in the last three of four years. Yazz, Morris Minor and the Majors, Tiffany, Stock Aiken and Waterman, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi. Just terrible s***.

The 70's was consistantly brilliant all the way through. Masters Apprentices, BTO, Blondie, Television, Radio Birdman, The Saints, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Kate Bush, Talking Heads, Plastic Bertrand.

yes the 1990s rocked but the 80s. well.....where do i start.

If there was ever a decade that good taste just curled up and dies on, it was the 80's. If, as is somtimes said, the 50's was the decade without style, then the 80's was the decade with too much damn style - most of it putrid.
Need a little reminder? how about: designer stubble, pastel suits, hair gel, men dressed as women, women dressed as men. rat tails, T-Shirts with "CHOOSE LIFE!" on them, t-shirts with "GHOSTBUSTERS" emblazoned on them, t shirts with just about any inane and pointless message except "I'M WITH STUPID" emblazoned on them., leg warmers, sports jackets with the sleeves rolled up, People wearing one glove and women wearing their underwear in public - a la Madonna. Not too mention those warm caring personalities that made the decade so much fun. People like Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Norman Tebbit, Alan Bond, John Elliot and Michael Millken.

Lets not forget the music! Who could forget Duran Duran, Pseudo Echo, Wham! Culture Club, Spandau Ballet, Kids in the Kitchen, the Thompson Twins, Cutting Crew, Devo, Haircut 100, or the musical peak. "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls? It was the decade that began with Xanadu and ended with Batdance.

The 80s in other words, is the decade you might think could never - should never - be rehabilitated! :D

People in the 90s spent their whole time getting over the good time they had in the 80s.

The 90s was just a 'hangover' decade.

Attention all those 90s teenagers:

The 80s sucked. Don't believe any of this propaganda. The 90s was better than the 80s, but the 70s was way better than them both.


I've seen young teenagers running around in this so called fashionable 80s retro gear. Don't do it. Repeat, DON'T DO IT. If you grew up in the 80s, you'd know how bad it looks!

I can vouch for that. Actually, can someone please pass me a disprin..........2001 and I'm still in recovery mode. The only thing that improved in the 90's was me! And the new millenium? Watch out, my star is still rising............

bunsen burner,

You're showing your age now.

Just because you aren't - and never will be - as cool as Don Johnson, no need to be so bitter.

Let's bring back "the Vice". You know you want to!

Everthing was cool until about 1984 - until things started to go pear-shaped.

Punk was on its way out, Elton John went soft, and Bowie was on the decline. Even Robert Plant went soft!

Along came Pseudo Echo, Kids in the Kitchen, the Thomson Twins, and all those other krap bands with that synthesizer sound. Just to top it off, breakdancing became popular.

For anyone who liked some of the heavier sounds, they had to listen to soft-****s like Van Halen, Foreigner, Poison, Europe and Bon Jovi - Hardly Metallica, Peppers or RATM

The fashions of the day were pastel colours and tight jeans. I cringe when I look back at any photos of myself/family/friends from the 80s.

At least when I look back at my photos from the 70s, I'm wearing a pair of cool-ar$e flairs, wide lapels, and a bad-ar$e hair cut. Unfortunately, I wasn't old enough to have a porn star moustache.

TigerTank:

Don Johson was big stubble-wearing pansy.

Starsky and Hutch for me. They were Don Johson's daddy.


and......are there any excuses for Huey Lewis and the News?

Hahahaha, very good Tigertank, you nearly had this 90's chick with ya until you got to the comparison of fashions, then your argument just lost all respect after that.:D Sure the 90's wasn't that good but the 80's will go down in infamy as the era of the fashion victim.

Don Johnson - muahahahahaha:p

No, my personal favourite was the poster that cleverly combined the elements of 2 Queen songs, "Bicycle Race" & "Fat Bottomed Girls" into one perfect image.
:D Liked that one but the one of the tennis chick and where she was tucking away the ball was better. ;)

Also liked that one as well, spent many days in Southland flicking throught the posters in the newsagents trying to find that one.

Apparently Kylie attempted the same shot, but with a G string on which was subsequently airbrushed out, so she sued the publishers. Just goes to show that nothing in the 90s was original.

Another vote here (again) for Starsky and Hutch (and one of them was even in a Clint Eastwood movie) PLUS we had Dirty Harry when he really WAS dirty....we got the original, you got the Dead Pool.


Class of 74!!!


man. :)
