This has been a great thread. I haven't finished reading it yet, but boy has it taken me down memory lane!
OK, more 80s stuff to my previous lists: Martha Quinn!!!!; Jenny (867-5309); The Walls Came Down by the Call; Adam Ant (Desperate but not Serious); Van Halen's Jump video; Rock the Casbah; and, a personal tale, I used to frequent this little record store weekly and got to know the owners...whenever a poster wore out its welcome at the store, the owners would give it to me for my dorm room (I still have the Cars' poster).
