Subject: Your favorite years of the '80s.

Written By: zcrito on 07/02/04 at 11:06 am


What are your favorite years of the '80s.

Since the '80s message board gets so many posts -- more than the other decades -- the '80s must have been a special time for many, soooooo for that reason you can pick up to five (5) wonderful years!

Let's see...I think I'll go with 80,81,82,84 and 85!

:) ;D

I'll go with 1980, the year I had my first serious boyfriend, and then 82-83, when started going to all the dance clubs with my friends and just having a blast. It really was  special time.

1985 is my pick...  It stands out as the year i went to 4 concerts.  Its good to see other Duran Fans!  1985 was also the year that a girlfriend gave me the lyrics to all the Duran songs.  To my shock, I was incorrect about more lryics than i care to admit.. LOL

1985!!! Sometimes what makes a good year are the songs that come out in either winter or summer. Well this year had both. As a heavy metal rocker, I had dated a girl who listened to pop music. Well I was pretty much forced to listen to "her stuff". REO and Foreigner had just come out with their ballads and to make a long story short, I liked the wham! and madonna stuff. The summer had "into the groove" and a cool howard jones song. Perfect swimming weather everyday with my friends with some cool tapes like Prince (pop life & raspberry beret) and awesome ballads from Bryan Adams (Heaven) and Survivor (The Search Is Over) and there you go!!!!

I picked the years 1980-84 when electronic music was at its peak!! All my favourite artists were in their prime, save The Smiths who'd only just started in 1983 and would go on a few years longer.

8) 1984, 85 and 86, I had the VERY BEST times of my life then, everything was good, the music, Miami Vice, my most adored series was full blast then, I was MADLY in love with Don Johnson and
I lived (and still live) where the Miami Vice took real action....Miami! I had the grand opportunity to watch one of the episodes being filmed from the window of our office in Downtown, I sincerely and honestly miss those years like anything else! :(

I would say the early 80's... I like the music in that time period. I was still in grade school/middle school and didn't have any worries in life and could have fun...  ;D

Most of them.  Some were tougher than others, but for the most part the '80's were GOOD to me.  High school - class of '84 and college class of '89.  All GREAT!!!

My answer: 1988

For two very good reasons!

1. Morrissey was mentioned on VH1's I Love The 80s... 1988.

2. I was born that year :)

I chose between 1985 and 1989 because those were the years where I first garnered my first memories, which happened to be in the '80s  ;)

My favorite years would include 1981 which is my birthyear (as if that wasn't obvious) and 1985-8 since they were the best years of my childhood.
