    Great rock n' roll music...hair bands.....the music in the 80s was fun!!! (Poison, Warrant, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, KISS, Motley Crue, RATT, Van Halen, Styx, Madonna, Paula Abdul & Joan Jett.......

    We had the time of our lives...concerts...parties...great movies....great TV shows like Married With Children, My Two Dads, & Charles in Charge.

    We had PAC-MAN.....We had lace gloves like Madonna wore....t-shirt clips...LA Gear...Jellies (shoes...lol).....We had Reebok high tops in all different colors.....we had leg warmers....we wore 2 pair of slouch socks......

    AND WE WERE WALKING LIKE EGYPTIANS...and it was fun!!! :)

    Funny...music has been mentioned over and over, but not MTV specifically.

    I know we all loved it, but not necessarily what it has become. :ohwell:

    I want my MTV!

    .... "now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it. You play the guitar on the MTV"
    That song brings back such great memories !

    Well, I HATE 80's music but I love 80's movies .... Pretty in Pink, Say Anything...

    I also loved the 80's because Rob Lowe was in his prime and that man was beautiful. I had posters of him all over my wall.

    Agreed ...

    Edward can't be a real vampire.
    Vampires don't frolic in meadows and glitter in the sun.
    He must be a fairy :P
