The 80's were the best years ever in the history of mankind!

(However "the 80's" were my 20's, so I think that had a lot to do with it.)

Margaret Thatcher was way better than Larry Bird... at least IMHO.

U2 actually wasn't that bad in the early 80s but they did go downhill pretty quick. Same with REM who peaked in '87 or so.

The U2 of the early 80s was pretty cool. And don't be dissing penny loafers either (unless there were actual pennies, or unless they were worn with white socks).

Here's a worst of the 80s you could have used instead:

Another one of my favorite things from the 80's. Keep in mind that I was a teenager at the time.

You can't tell me that the ZZ Top "Legs" video was better than Billy Idol's "Cradle of Love" video.

Seriously.

I still have my Bass Weejuns and am patiently waiting for them to come back into style. I loved those shoes. And, U2 was an awesome band for their first 3 albums. Songs like Gloria, I will follow, Two hearts beat as one, etc. were all great music, the band died shortly thereafter.
