The decade I'd Hot Tub Time Machine back to in a second if I could!
The Music!
UTFO – Roxanne, Roxanne! The rise of fun rap diss battles that garnered something like 2 dozen response tracks and started the infamous Bridge Wars.
Doug E. Fresh & MC Slick Rick – The Show!
Rick James – Super Freak!…super freak, super junkie, super entertainer, super lady beater. Rick was a whole lot of super.
Queen and David Bowie – Under Pressure! Freddie and David together.
The Police – Every Breath You Take! Perhaps the greatest creepy stalker song of all time.
Madonna – Into The Groove! She may not hold the same appeal today but she ruled the 80's into the 90's
Michael Jackson – Beat It! The pop King of the 80's.
Linda Clifford – Red Light! Watching the late Gene Anthony Ray in this scene, he was a sexy dude back then and that is how we barely dressed in the early 80's in NY.
The Movies!

I wont post the entire decade (so that others can post something LOL) , but here's a few
"Crush on You" was/is my 'ISH. I still listen to that to this day LOL
@alton the Jets are under appreciated now. Crush On You was the $#!+
80s music has so many layers to it. Guitar/keyboard/sax solos, breakdowns, real bridges…
Yeah, I'm a big 80's music fan. Punk, Hip Hop, R&B, all of it. So much of it was so bad it was good. LOL
Garbage Pail Kids!!!
