Were you alive in the 80s?

@Tminus6453 How was it the greatest decade ever? Most of the music was dull, the fashions were even worse and we had the dreaded Margaret Thatcher running the country. What did the 80s have going for them to make them great?

@NankerPhelge Music was the greatest, cheap concerts, fashion was great, technology was picking up (arcades,VCR's)...alot of great movies.. boozing/partying, people still got together and had partys... it was the greates decade

@Tminus6453 The rock music was good in the 80s, I went to a few cheap concerts myself, but how many times did we hear Motorhead or Iron Maiden on the radio? Most of the music we used to hear everywhere was that awful campy synthpop. Movies were OK too, but I didn't have a VCR until 1989, so it was the beginning of the 90s when I really got into movie collecting. I collected records in the 80s but the vast majority of them came out in the two previous decades.
