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:

Amen, raivyn. Even the college game is getting unwatchable. I have a feeling that once The General stops coaching I'll stop watchng as well.

I'd love to see "Justice" remastered.

One of the freakiest Miami Vice episodes imo.

Remember the episode where the huge container of cocaine - being hoisted up over water by a crane - burst and all the coke fell into the water? I groaned.

Sshh! Not so loud. It's too early for singing at such high volume. :-)

Seriously, GL was a great band. I have their first two albums and I still listen to them frequently. "Pray for Rain" and "Ghost on the Road" are two of my favorite songs.

Most underrated 80s band that should have been more famous, The Smithereens

Yeah, the Smithereens were good. I really liked "Blood and Roses".

Guess my selective memory has kicked in because I don't remember that happening. Must have been all the tequila I consumed back in those days.

Actually, Michael Hutchence was involved with Bob Geldof's wife, Paula Yates. Bob Geldof has done a lot of work for the father's rights movement in Britain because of what he went through with his wife and Michael Hutchence.

I really liked INXS, but I have no respect for Michael Hutchence.

It looks like this thread isn't doing as well as the 70's one. Do you think it might be because we have a problem staying on topic? ;-)

Hee, hee.

I heard there was an issue with the OFST. Dang, I wasn't even here. I'm kind of glad that I wasn't though, because I would be really worried that it was moi (pardon my french) who offended everyone.
