dcdeb Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I know!! It´s horrible I was born in the mid-80s and i was a child, i grew up listening some of these tunes and i became a big fan of these decade I have the need to post this vid... And this... Well, Queenie, I'll forgive you the first because of the perfection of the second. Wasn't Don't You Want Me, Baby? the anthem of that particular time? I saw the Human League live, back in the day, second row in a smaller venue -- it was one of the best concerts ever. *sigh* This walking down Memory Lane is exhausting! dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mici Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Born in the late 60s or early 70s? Then the '80s is surely a decade that influenced you. You may even remember a little bit if you were born in the early 80s... - Come On Eileen (Dexy Midnight Runners) - Tide is High (Blondie) - Red, Red Wine (UB40) ...these were only some of my favourit songs from the 80s. There was Live Aid, Band Aid, and USA for Africa. Other artists who made their mark in this decade were Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Bowie, Wham, Rick Springfield, and the Eurythmics just to name a few. My favourite show was FAME, but other popular shows were the Cosby Show, Different Strokes, Fantasy Island and the Love Boat. I enjoyed the movies Flashdance and E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, Sixteen Candles and the Breakfast Club. Breakdancing was popular too! Tell me what you remember? How did the 80s impact you (besides MIKA being born...)? I was born in 1981, growing up i remember my sister's big earrings, huge belts and those colourful shirts, also all those sorts of weird hair styles. I remember also all the great music played around the house by my dad & my brother, Lots of U2, Queen, Depech Mode and the likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Ah the 80s! Big hair and shoulder pads (rara skirts and puffballs anyone?) But the music: Human League, Thompson Twins, Eurythmics, OMD, Adam and the Ants, Ultravox (what was Vienna about?), The Cure, Visage, A Flock of Seagulls (now that was hair), Blancmange, Simple Minds, Teardrop Explodes, and not forgetting Japan ( David Sylvian - at the time, definitely the most beautiful man in the world).

vickylovesmika Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 And Mika sometimes reminds me of Bruno in "Fame" Oh no !! now come on!!! Don't say that!!!! ( i know what you mean but it was only the hair)!!! Ah the 80s! Big hair and shoulder pads (rara skirts and puffballs anyone?

Laurel Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 So glad I've just found this thread... I pretty much love the 80's ... you'd know if you saw my record collection. I was born in 1974: First pop star I ever loved was Adam Ant in 81'. Even young I had taste. Loved Adam between 81-83.... So did the tipex thing as well... much to mum's annoyance... or lipstick later for Prince Charming... and yes I can still do THAT dance... 83-85 - Durannie time... Simon Le Bon... 85-87 - A-ha - God how bloody hot was and is Morten Harket Mainly notable cos' this is when my mother seriously started to notice how into boys I was getting... and I got the birds and bees story... I still absolutely love A-ha and always will. The first record I ever bought myself was "Take On Me". Have bought every album they've ever released since they started. Saw them live in 2003 and 2005. Have to say they were probably the most emotional concerts I've ever been to. Just simply because I never thought I'd seen them at all ever. 87-88 - Rick Astley. OK... I thought he was cute... and what a voice. 88-89 - Bros. Matt Goss. Enough said. 89-92 - New Kids On The Block. Major obsession with Jordan Knight. First concert I ever went to was to see them at Wembley Arena. Mum thought I was too young for the others. My music taste's changed drastically after New Kids... Blur etc... Other notable loves of the 80's. Davy Jones from The Monkees... OK - Not the 80's but it was on repeat alot. Dirk Benedict from The A-Team. (My mum bought me an action figure of Faceman for Christmas - My brother was jealous and broke it the very first day I had it - within hours of me getting it) Christopher Reeve as Superman... Only as Superman though... not as Clark Kent. Dex Dexter from Dynasty. Can't actually remember what he looked like now - but I think he was hot. I had a disaster with my very first perm. Ummm my mother got abit confused when I kept asking for a perm... she finally gave in and took me to the hairdressers - and gave me a bloody granny perm... I KID YOU NOT... I WAS A LAUGHING STOCK... I think these vids sums up the fantastic 80's - Great band... Great hair http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iS9RPyznAPg http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uUjIA3Rt7gk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 85-87 - A-ha - God how bloody hot was and is Morten Harket Mainly notable cos' this is when my mother seriously started to notice how into boys I was getting... and I got the birds and bees story... I still absolutely love A-ha and always will. The first record I ever bought myself was "Take On Me". Have bought every album they've ever released since they started. Saw them live in 2003 and 2005. Have to say they were probably the most emotional concerts I've ever been to. Just simply because I never thought I'd seen them at all ever. My story. Except for the concerts, I've never seem them live. But I had a HUUUGE crush on Morten - I was only 11 years old! He is the only really older guy I ever fancied btw. Take on Me was also my first single ever bought. And the album it's on was the first album I ever bought on tape. Still keeping it - for ever and ever. Ow man. Morten has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. On MSN Music there's a live performance (Kiel, Germany, open air in some harbour setting) filmed in 2006, have you ever seen it? They look eh... well-conserved for almost 50 year olds. BTW Speaking of the A-team: all my female classmates had a crush on Face. My favourite was Murdock.

Laurel Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Ha, yes I've seen the Kiel concert... Really strange as the crowd is across the water and not really anywhere near them... liked it though... The last time I saw them they did Living A Boy's Adventure Tale off of their first album.. I have to say It's one of my fave songs ever.... and cos' it's just an album track... I never thought I'd ever hear them play it all this time later... I cried and I'm not ashamed to say it. Could barely belief when they started it and I could hear Morten's soaring vocals... Do you have Morten's solo album.. Wildseed... It was released in 1995 - I think... I love that too... he's supposed to be releasing another one this year... but I've forgot to check when it's out... it's been delayed since January...

dcdeb Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We need to organise some 80's MFC party online, really, with the best vids, songs and haircuts we can dig up I don't think there were any "best haircuts" in the '80s! But wouldn't an MFC party be fun! In those days Mika did not say Relax, Frankie did !!!! Oh yes i had a t shirt to prove it! and short hair with a little bit left at the back I was out to brunch with my mom and sister the other day, and a young girl (too young to remember the '80s!) was wearing a Frankie Says RELAX t-shirt. I just smiled. A very big smile First pop star I ever loved was Adam Ant in 81'. Even young I had taste. Desperate... but not serious... he was fab, it's a shame how he's struggling now. Davy Jones from The Monkees... OK - Not the 80's but it was on repeat alot. No, definitely NOT the '80s! LOL! The very saddest thing is that I remember the Monkees -- and NOT from them being on repeat And guess what? I'm going to see Davy Jones next week. He's performing at Disney World in Florida and I have to go down for a day on business (yes, on business -- yes, AGAIN!). I've seen him there before -- I guess he lives in the area now, and he performs every year at this time, during what they call their "Flower Power" concerts. Dex Dexter from Dynasty. Can't actually remember what he looked like now - but I think he was hot. Yes, he was. I was a big Dynasty fan -- used to go over to my friends' Mark and Frank's apartment and have big Dynasty parties and try to figure whose shoulder pads were more deadly -- Crystal's or Alexis'! dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
