Blue Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 For those who visit Glasgow from time to time: I really enjoyed this place when I was there last year November! http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=3772695663 Can you imagine a bunch of girls (and Freddie) in their 30's on the dancefloor, dancing like loonies to Queen, Duran Duran etc. etc. ? This bar is even mentioned in the Glasgow Wiki: http://glasgow.openguide.co.uk/wiki/Reflex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hevthehampster Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 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) i love that song - Tide is High (Blondie) this one too - Red, Red Wine (UB40) dont know this one ...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...)? haha - i know most of this stuff and i was born in 93!!!! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaatje066 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Being born on the last day of '66 I remember almost everything mentioned! Wham, Bruce Springsteen (Born in the USA-tour, ), Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Michael Jackson, Live Aid, could go on for hours. Dutch band: Doe Maar. You just had to wear fluorescent pink and green if you were a fan. http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=RXWdQGtl6qs Leg warmers, broad shoulders, a perm, leggings, been there done that. Fame, Flashdance, Kevin Bacon, watching the A-team with my brother. Mass demonstrations agains nuclear weapons, remember Hollanditis? And ofcourse I'll never forget losing my virginity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just had to wear fluorescent pink and green if you were a fan.http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=RXWdQGtl6qs I'm going to see them soon! Reunion tour, 10 & 12 July in Rotterdam - I'll be there on the 12th! I was too young for the actual hype and fandom, I was only 10 when they split up. But some of my classmates had older sisters who were fans, and I knew the lyrics to a lot of their songs (to my mum's annoyance - she thought lyrics like Nederwiet and Belle Hélène were not really eh... 'pedagogisch verantwoord' ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasabi_tea Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Duran Duran did some good songs Does anyone else like Dalek I (Love You)? My dad has their long out-of-print album Compass Kumpas on LP, and he ripped it to MP3 and now I listen to it all the time It's really quite a random album, but I think that only adds to its enjoyment factor. Also, I don't know if I've already mentioned him earlier on in this thread (would've been a long time ago, and my memory is baaad), but... !!
