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!
