Everything was better in the 80's.

And I wasn't even alive then. At least I experienced growing up in the 90's the last great decade.

The music, the films, the fashion :P the games, the tv shows and I bet the prices for things was much more fair. The list goes on.

All my favourite films, bands and songs were made in the 80s.

Anyone else feel you should have born mid-sixties to live through the 80s as 20 year olds?

The 80s were the golden ages of rock, imo.

Makes me wish I was born in the late 60s/early 70s so that I could see everything live.

Honestly, I bet watching Queen live at Wembley Stadium would've been a helluva experience. Guns N Roses before they became ****, Skid Row before they kicked Bach out.

*nervous grin*

Eh.. oh, oh yes.. of course. :P

Honestly though, I'd say I was referring to a combination of both.

The 1920's were clearly the best years in the whole world. Everybody wore three-piece suits, even the homeless, dancing involved nothing more than holding a woman's hand near your shoulder and walking, revitalising health tonics sweeped the nation and the music industry created such classics as "Dee dooo.... dee dooooo" or "Ba-dum (tiddle-tee-dee) ba dum (tiddle de do!)"

*wipes a tear from his eyes* Good times.

Anything in the 90s and before it is 100 times better then the stuff we have to day. Well Most stuff.

I can't agree with you. The best TV show Glee came out this generation and not in the 80's.

nope. so glad i missed that crappy decade. i was born in 87, just in time for the awesome 90s and even better 00smems_1224

I am very serious.

Ah yes! Kempston joysticks and Commodore 64's :)

if you mean the 1780's, then hell yeah, Churning your own butter, guys with starchy wigs, chamber pots, civil war right around the corner, etc. Thats good stuff,Allicrombie

Internet, Cell phones that aren't the size of air jordans, and a much wider selection of music are the only things that make me glad I'm where I am right now.

In the 80s power ballads were a must for metal bands.:P

LJS9502_basic

Yah, no. I lived through 80s in my 20s and almost nothing about the 80s was better than now.

Not foreign affairs.

Not the economy.

Not technology.

Not fashion.

Not music.

Yeah I'm sure not living in that decade makes you an unbiased source on how great it is. The threat of nuclear war, lack of internet, cheesy tv and music accompanying all those "great" things you mention? Not a problem apparently.

So yeah TC, it wasn't better, and especially if you didn't live then. Years from now you'll hear the same thing about the 2000's and how awesome Green Day and Call of Duty was.

Never was a massive fan of 80s things to be honest. New Romantics? No! Shoulder pads? Heck no!
The 70s were far superior imo.

The 80's were my teenage years and I agree, they were awesome. The world sucks today compared to then.

The 80's had great board games, that much is true.

90's > everything else.

I have to say, 90's takes the cake with cartoons. But for popular music, 80's wins. That's not to say that I don't like my obscure '00s metalcore. But the music that the majority of people listened to in the '80s was great.

can you top this list?

I'm not fond of some 80s music minus The Cure, New Order, Guns N' Roses, Michael Jackson and The Smiths

I'm more fond of the Punk/Garage Rock of the late 70s

I prefer the 00s myself.

The 80s IS the best decade and most people know this...Ive even heard many young kids say they wished they lived then..Its without a doubt the best 10 years in history.
