80s

I like a lot of music from the 80s 😄

of course you're entitled to your opinion, but are you kidding? new romantic and new wave music was the bomb. synths, keyboards--that music was catchy as hell.

I just can't stand alot of New Romantic stuff. I'm sure there are some classics but it's not my cup of tea. The real crap was stuff like Spandau Ballet- why were they released on the world?? My mum liked them- we are so ashamed...

...without the 80s we would never have had Stryper

tehe. to each his own. :>

U2 had many good songs in the 80s so did Michael Jackson, Iron Maiden, Guns and Roses, Dire Straits, The Police , Bon Jovi, Rainbow, Depeche Mode, Talk Talk and so on...................... there was a lot of bad music as well as it is with all decades.

What the hell is people's fixation with Bon Jovi and Depeche Mode? Don't they realize they were talentless hacks?

Well Depeche Mode was quite the synth band of the 80`s and very talented indeed, I never actually been a synth band fan myself, but I know quality musicians when I hear them. . The fact that you dont like them has nothing to do with the skill of the musicians. Same with Bon Jovi, even if I liked their earliest material much better than their mega seller Slippery when wet ,they still had loads of talent

80's was a fab time to be a kid the movies
Golden child, Coming to America, Firewalker,Last Dragon,Cannonball run

Michael Jackson was on the moon and on fire

Carl Lewis was the fastest man on the planet

Basketball was out of this world Magic,Bird,Thomas with Jordan coming up

You thought Margaret Thatcher was a great Prime Minister? Are you insane? She almost brought Britain to it's knees! She made it easy for all the yuppies and rich people to stay rich, and made it sure that the young and destitute would STAY POOR! That's simplifying it but it's basically you catch my drift. Politically the 80's was a NIGHTMARE!

and Carl Lewis was not the fastest man on the planet, Ben Johnson was even if he was doped, but so was everybody else in that game

i wasnt around but even i know that Thatcher's Britain was not a good place to be. But, maybe this is a bad thing to say, without that, there wouldnt have been the BritPop revolution.

I still think it was a great time!
And still admire all of 'em hell nobody is perfect.
80's politically was a nightmare that's no exaggeration . so we had tuff as balls leaders.
I enjoyed the 80's more than the 90's
Ben Johnson will never get thet respect even if he was doped coz when I heard he beat Carl Lewis I was greatly saddened, however when the truth came out Iwas ecstatic coz CL was like my idol... 🤣 😎

Yep. Orwell wrote something about that "All sprinters are doped, but some sprinters are more doped than others" I have already seen this somewhere here in KMC 😑

Great times! Everybody doped and running like hell 😮‍💨 I miss the eighties 🙁

can't speak for bon jovi as i've only heard a handful of tracks. but being a depeche mode fan ... i have to say that not only musically, but lyrically they're quite an inventive band. you're entitled to your opinion, and disliking them is part of it... but it does not mean they're talentless--it is only a matter of being objective.

i also think that 80's had the most powerful songs ever

billie jean,beat it, smooth criminal etc by michael jackson, self control by laura branigan

la isla bonita by madonna, n so many others

absolutely. catchy, great to dance to. and some of the best tunes out there. ah, synths. :>

I like the music of the 80s. I like Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Roxy Music, Pet shop boys etc
