THE BEST AND WORST OF THE 1980s (vanity)
Pissant/SSCPOW Research Center | 6/6/05 | SilentServiceCPOWife & Pissant

Posted on 06/06/2005 10:03:49 AM PDT by pissant

After receiving numerous complaints that the 1970s sucked and were not worthy of a vanity thread, here at the Pissant/CPOWife Research Center we've decided to select a decade that had more worthwhile activities to ponder. Though many positive events developed during the 1980s, there were plenty of stink-bombs as well. To further our research, we encourage everyone to participate in this scientific survey.

Without further ado, the Best and Worst of the 1980s:

I was young, broke (that's way it was the $1 movies), and totally infatuated with Jennifer Beals...

(F.A., I've admitted to worse here on FR)

Barely in the 80's, but I had a major thing for Jane Seymour so I just love this movie.

Laugh at me all you want - I can take it.......

I was actually thinking "Document."

I bought "Document" in Fall 1987. I wore the grooves off of it, made a cassette tape of the album and practically wore out the tape. I played it constantly for several months.

I declared to my friends that it was the best album of the 80s, up till that time.

Yeah. I liked it.
