  • Blade Runner.
    Hell yeah. But like my pick, I don't think that's really in the spirit of this thread. I think they wanted John Hughes movies. :)

    ME and my BF have been really on an 80's music kick since we watched that VH1 countdown. I'm pretty much addicted to some songs. (I'd post more but some I can't embed. T_T)

  • I was unfortunate enough to be born in '89, just missing the glory of the 80's. However, I love 80's music.
  • I don't think the 80's were all that glorious. The nineties were much more my type of thing.
    In my head =

    The 80's = Neon Colors, triangles, big hair, synthesizers, Make lots of money, obnoxious kids on television.
    The 90's = Earth tones, Yingyangs, Flannel shirts, grunge rock, save the environment, chill-snarky kids on television.
  • Top Gun.
    The movie that made me want to be fighter pilot as a kid. Starts of with that carrier scene oh mans.

    1987 saw the release of Eric B. and Rakim's first album: Paid in Full. Rakim's shift in tone and complexity compared to earlier Hip-Hop, and Eric B's sampling of artists like James Brown changed Hip-Hop music as we know it. From the Wu-Tang Clan to MC Frontalot, every lyricist owes these guys something.

  • I agree pretty much completely with Emily.
