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. :)

(FireC bows to SE's knowledge of the 80s)

How could I forget the Goonies, Terminator, Wham, Sledgehammer, Addicted to Love ?

You know a lot about the 80's to have been too young to have done the clothes. :)
