Who remembers the 80s?


I'm listening to Tifanny's I Think We're Alone Now.

Does anyone remember the 80s? What were we thinking, eh? From embarassing haircuts and short-lived fashion fads to extinct pop idols and sorely-missed television programmes. Could any decade have been more cruel?

I used to love T?Pau and watched the Sex Talk video on Top of the Pops with one eye on the telly and the other on my mum, waiting for her to call it the devil?s music. I must have been seven.

Does anyone remember Dungeons & Dragons? Why did it never occur to us that Venger, the personification of evil, wore a frilly skirt?

What do you remember about the 80s? Kiss chase perhaps? The girls imitating Bananarama in the playground? List them here!
