I loved the eighties. From a music standpoint it was a little tough to compete with its predecessor but it was the end of the bell bottoms. So bell you couldn't see your shoes. Midway to later 80's was better than the first half. Boxing in the eighties was better overall I think compared to the 70’s. The move from 8-track to cassette was pretty much done. Polyester was big still but natural fibres were making it known and cool clothing shops were popping up. I hated Polyester and the Saturday Night Fever look that hung around through the early eighties. I was all Funk which was great in those days and kind of underground. Could not stand Disco. Gas was a buck a gallon. The weed was mediocre.

The 1980's were this


With a touch of this


And a sprinkling of this

It was the worst decade for pop music. The 60's, 70's and 90's were MUCH better.

Movies were somewhat better in the 80s than in the 70s though.

Good decade for boxing, toward the end of the decade we had Mike Tyson. I used to go over to Detroit to watch Tommy Hearns when I lived in Windsor.

People were more sensible and conservative in the 80s. Drug use was down from the reckless 70s, at least in the mainstream. People were less promiscuous than in the 70s because of fear of AIDs and herpes.

I went to see Cyndi Lauper perform in Detroit in the winter of 86-87. And I love Annie Lennox's (Eurythmics) music from that decade. Whitney sang some nice songs.

But compared to the 60s, 70s and 90s, overall the 80s music wasn't very good. The songs I like by Michael Jackson were from the 70s (Ben, I'll Be There) and 90s (Earth Song).

60s: Beatles, Cream, Hendrix, Byrds, etc

70s: ELP, ELO, prime Queen, Wings, Badfinger, Uriah Heep, etc

90s: Oasis, Mariah Carey, The Verve, Cranberries, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette
