The 80's poll

[moonwise]

Okay! All three of you who read my journal, fill out and enjoy.

1. What is/are the quintessential 80's movie(s)?

2. Bands?

3. Songs?

4. Videos? Remember when MTV actually played videos instead of endless repeats of "The Real World?"

5. TV shows?

6. Did you have big hair? A mohawk? Acid-wash jeans?

7. How about roller skates? ("All-skate, change directions!") A hula hoop? Those stretchy telephone-cord things everyone wore? The stacks of bangles that drove teachers mad?

I'll post my own answers in a comment. :)

lol, how could I forget ET? Well, I do admit that I was about six when I saw it, and I cried through the whole thing. :)

> - Time after Time (see above *g*)
> - Arghh...too many visual memories, not enough names here. Sorry. Like for instance - what > the hell was that Peter Gabriel video called with the dancing chicken?

"Sledgehammer" was the name of the video. Peter Gabriel was one of the most innovative artists in terms of visual effects in his videos. I also remember "Digging in the Dirt" and "Steam" as being ahead of their time visually.

> - I had...(os gaaawd, do I /have to/ confess to this?)...permed, big, blond hair. There. > Hope you're happy now.

Awww.... well, I had big blond hair too, so join the crowd. Lots of bleach. :)
