Do you miss the '80s?

[heroic_decepticon]

Music - Joy Division/New Order, The Cure, REM, The Smiths, Depeche Mode... The 80s started with electronic music and ended with Rap, possibly the last true creative venture into new musical territories.

... and Guns n' Roses, Metallica, Pet Shop Boys, Milli Vanilli, New Kids on the Block, Kris Kross... and Boy Meets Girl (woohoo)

Movies - Star Wars trilogy, Blade Runner, Alien, Betty Blue, Terminator... Star Wars opened the door for no-brainer Sci-fi/fantasy action movies. Conan, Rocky, Predator, Rambo, Excalibur, Bloodsport, Back to the Future... TnA movies... 80s schlock.

Completely agree with you there. Man, you even mentioned Bloodsport, that's a classic in its own league. heh. And the Tim Burton Batman movies too I'd add.

Dungeons & Dragons, my Indy 500 Mountain bike, model kits and Star Wars, Transformers and MASK toys.

Robotech RPG, Battletech, Marvel Super Heroes RPG;
stunt bikes, roller blades (ok, this was pushing 90s), basketball, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Charles Barkeley...; F1 - Ayrton Sena; Tennis - John McEnroe, Ivan Lendl...

Rainbow Brite FTW!

Strawberry Shotcake, Cabbage Patch Kids, Teddy Ruxpin...

Everything began or ended in the 80's...

Amen.
