Talking to a mate at a wedding the other week about choice of record Bride and Groom danced to and agreed our music was so much better.

Got us naming (after a few) our top 3 80's tunes (which quickly became a hot topic in the room!)

Mine.

1. ABC - The look of love. Dont ask, just love the hook.
2. Tears for Fears - Everybody wants to rule the World. Great anthem.
3. Spandau Ballet - True. Ok me and the wife danced to this at OUR wedding.



Got to mention The Cults 'She sells sanctuary'. Extraordinary.

1. Every Breath You Take...Police (Our song

)

2. Your Love is King ..Sade

3.Any Wham song...just loved George

No1 the week my Grandma died. Summed it up perfectly.

Saw Wham in concert christmas 1984 at Leeds. Me, a mate and 9998 screaming women. If only they knew.

I was one of them screaming women..if only I knew

Can you not see a shuttlecock when you see one?

There are some really good 80's compilation vidoes on Youtube.

It was not as socially accepted 20 odd years ago, gays where not as camp and open as they now are(some) I have no probem whatsoever which an sexuality, though must admit gutted about Georgy boy though all my young fantasies shattered

Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now

The Cure - Just Like Heaven

I have a fair bit of stuff (even vinyl

) surprisingly my 22,18 & 14 year old children love a lot of the 80s stuff, mind you they have not had a choice but to love any music

Oh yesssss, some classic's there

The Kane Gang - Closest thing to Heaven

Quality

Was just thinking the same ,but as far as one hit wonders goes nobody but nobody can top martha and the muffins echo beach,incidently it is the song when i hear it it reminds me of the school cloakroom in 1980 with red and white scarves and black and white scarves hung up all over the place ,not a single tigers one if memory serves me,good ol days

My 12 year old played me a song from someone current who used that hook. Rapped over it!

The Wedding Singer was a great film for classic 80's tracks. Billy Idol, bleached Icon!
Thompson Twins, hold me now was a great tune.

Stock Akin & Waterman, leg warmers, fame, new romanitcs, mods & rockers, winkle pickers the list is endless..
Hairs stlyes, The Wedge

the Wedge with just the front permed, the wedge with the back permed, PERMS..

Farah, Harington Jackets, arrow jeans

Oh my god. One lad at the friday dinnertime disco used to don his to the mod classics. Ken was his name, fits carpets now.
Went back to my old school for the first time in 26 years last year for my eldest daughters open night. Talk about spooky.

you should of rapped his knuckles for dissrespecting the tune man innit

My 14 year old wants an Harrington Jacket, must be back in

Last years Mckenzie

I know we had a crazy fashion, but know it is so expensive, he just got a fred perry t-shirt £45 for a flipping t-shirt

So was I, I didn't know either



What a waste!!

met him in the park recently, now i am one of the lads screaming.I mean literally screaming ,i only bent down to pick up my wallet

If I was behind you hope I wasnt inapropriate

, but a great concert. Saw Howard Jones there, plus Toyah. She was fantastic.

Don't recall anyone being inappropriate!! Yes, great concert, loved the rendition of Last Christmas.
I wasn't actually screaming, I was an oh so mature 19 year old, we had a couple of 14 year olds with us though, they screamed for England.
Also saw Paul Young in Manchester that year, 'Wherever I lay my hat', just about swooned at that one.
