Yes I admit every bit of it. I love the 80's. People now make fun but I still believe it was the best decade to be a teenager! Big hair, bright colors, lots of eye shadow, what could be better? I had friends that dressed like Madonna, Boy George, the Thompson Twins and Prince, ( friends you know who you are)! Do you remember how to get bangs so high and stiff? The cans of hairspray consumed must have made a huge dent in the ozone. My mother wouldn't let me spray hairspray in our bathroom because it spotted her wallpaper!
And oh the phases, I went through the new wave stage, punk stage and the "please I really am Belinda Carlisle, really!"
Here area my Ten:
1. Wake Me Up Before you Go-Go! Wham! - oh George Michael!
2. Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper - my first concert ever!
3. Karma Chameleon - Culture Club
4. Freeze Frame - J. Geils Band
5. Melt With You - Modern English
6. Hold Me Now - The Thompson Twins
7. We Got the Beat - The Go-Go's
8. Girl You Know its True - Milli Vanili
9. Don't Go Back to Rockville - REM
10. If Love Somebody Set Them Free - Sting
11. Do They Know it's Christmastime? - Band Aid
Jen, I always knew you were awesome, but this just confirms it. The 80s rocked as a teenager!
ReplyDeleteAlex you just made my day! Thanks so much! Watch out for that snow!
DeleteThis is the best list ever! The 80's were awesome and so were we! I could tell a story to go along with each song :) Milli Vanili- what a travesty, I think I need someone to Hold me Now, just thinking of my disappointment...
